I don't and I believe that most people agree with me otherwise most cardshops would have closed by now. People are still doing "real" things they did before (sending cards, going out for coffee, drinking beer in the put, going out on saturday night etc.). The internet now gives us the facility to send an e-card to those people whom most probably we wouldn't have sent a card in real life. <BR/><BR/>When the telephone was invented people probably said the same as they're saying today about computers. Computers and the internet is going to relieve the need to communicate face to face, but in fact it is not. We still need human contact and human interaction (we wouldn't procreate virtually anyway) - the internet and technology is just another tool. But yes like other tools it can be used wrongly too. You can cut a tree with a chainsaw and you can cut a body with a chainsaw but that doesn't make the chainsaw bad.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187548756280707901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037385.post-63903001752642514762007-11-18T16:16:00.000+05:302007-11-18T16:16:00.000+05:30Great post!
