Although I think describing the Internet with the word "fad" *might* be a
bit harsh, I think it *Might* lose it's luster pretty soon. It IS good
for the information gathering/distributing type of thing but a lot of the
Internet is just crap. Kinda like TV "'cept different"

Pretty soon, we might be able to call it TV-2...

How bout something that'll brew yer coffee for you in the morning, do the
wash, scrub the toilet, walk the dog, etc. Then we won't have ANY
responsibilities and we could all stay holed up in our houses all the
time.
