Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

Where would I be without the internet?
I have to admit that I owuld be lost without the internet. I dread going downstairs in the library to the cold dreariness of the those rows and rows of books with the same name as the one next to them. I would much rather log in upstairs and where the sun is shining and look at the world of new (and possibly irrelevant) information that this world-wide-web has to give to me (all the while checking to see what news there is for me in my emails or who has invited me to a party or has a birthday on facebook). This internet talk we've been having in class has been making me feel guilty. Am I a bad person for liking the internet as much as I do, as opposed to real, hard back and paper books that I can actually pick up and physically turn the pages with? I'd like to think not. Let me be who I am and what I want to be! Leave me alone! I may not be a better person for it, but at least I am who I am. What else could anyone want?
