Life, Liberty, and the ability to access the internet

I'm always sitting in front of my computer. I am, in point of fact, sitting in front of my computer right now.

It's funny how some people will send out an email message and expect a response within minutes, like email is some kind of instant-message tool or something.

Some people get their email sent to their Blackberry, um I mean crackberry, these mobile devices are often referred to as CRACKberrys because of the addictive nature of being in constant contact with others.

I'm not sure I understand this need to be in constant contact with friends, relatives or business associates? There are people that are always texting their friends or family, texting while driving, texting while going to the bathroom, talking on the cell phone while in the bathroom, texting someone while you are in the doctor's office . . .

I just don't get it?

What sort of communication would someone need to have with someone else when the Doctor says "turn your head and cough," I can't imagine.

I sent an email message to my family a day or so ago and never got a response. I guess the excuse would be that they just don't check their email everyday. This is also something I just don't understand?

How could you not check your email everyday?

I guess for me, someone who doesn't text people, or talk to them on my cell phone while I'm in the bathroom, it just seems odd to not respond to an email message.

It's my connection to the outside world.
