15 years ago, the internet was an escape from the real world. Now, the real world is an escape from the internet.
As I ruthlessly culled my Twitter feed yesterday, I was thinking about this. How back in the '80s, I went online to escape the mundanity of "the real world", and how now "the real world" has flooded online, and now I search for connection in meat space.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
