Well isn’t my own time my own, free to be spent on whatever I want even if others think it pointless?
Not to mention that you seem to be simultaneously crtiticizing the “Web 2.0 world” for (1) wasting lots of time without accomplishing anything, and (2) being scary because of the massive (and possibly massively destructive) things it can accomplish.
Though I do kind of agree that the use of “social networking” by stodgy mainstream politicians is probably less a sign that the “heyday” is ahead than that those media have “jumped the shark” and the truly hip crowd will have to find something new!

My dear Mr. T., you are certainly more than welcome to waste your time as you see fit. Just don’t ask me to believe that this has anything to do with “reality”, whatever that means these days…
I’m not pretending to understand everything here. The point of this article is to say that Larry Sanger is describing what I perceive as an emerging phenomenon. What this ends up meaning is anybody’s guess at this point. It could be something with massive consequences, however.
Can we at least agree that what Dr. Sanger is describing merits further inquiry?

I was BlackBerry-free for the past two years at Comcast. Now I have one. I’m not supposed to use it for personal matters, so now I have my personal cell phone in my briefcase, plus the BlackBerry on my hip. The thing buzzes twice every time I get a new e-mail at my work address.
I am thankful that I am not permitted to let this small-keyed, small-screened device become my nexus of personal communication. My thumbs began to hurt on the first day of use.

If only more than 51 people would hear this.
