yah, i mean i sure like the concept of a virtual life - all my communication, info, organization, entertainment, etc in one place accessable from anywhere and the ability to share w/friends; but you cant have that w/o handing a lot of trust over to someone else, which means not having anything to hide - porn, illegal music, even dangerous anti-american opinions . . . freedom keeps feeling more and more like control . . . well all i need from computers is music, email, a calendar, the occasional tv show . . . an school crap. don't need the googletopia for that. btw i wonder when IM and email will merge? i guess google's moving towards that, but eventually they should be redundant, when chats can be picked up from online place to online place, and messages left to offline peeps. wholly carp. i think i just rambled . . .
