Notice how even when we're not around each other, we're always in touch?
It's getting to be an obsession. A group mind.
Gotta have instant messaging and a cellphone and a landline for direct conversation.
Gotta have email for, well, mail.
Gotta have LiveJournal so you can let people know what you've been up to today.
Gotta have a webcam so your friends can see what you're doing right now.
Admittedly we're hip, with-it, cutting-edge kind of folks. But the networks are so integrated with our lives that we are literally almost never parted from them. They are transparent to us, we hardly notice them except when they are gone.
