The problem is, it is becoming increasingly difficult to discern the truth from the mistakes, half-truths and lies.

Choice is good; it does not follow that all choices are good.


I abhor cell phones and to a lesser degree telephones. If cell phones were only used for emergencies they would be a good idea.

To put it simply, solitude is a necessity just as communication is. And telephones, by their nature, make it hard to ignore them - The call could always be important.

Now e-mail, that could revive communication if handled correctly. Messages can be marked urgent, I can generally take as long as I want replying and, to a certain degree, unwanted messages can be filtered. My google mail, for example, almost never gets unwanted mail.

(On the other hand, I generally communicate the longest in forums - Wonderful things, forums, for many of the same reasons. e-mail, despite its potential, still feels awkward)
