   ...fact is that there are people/generations living right now who never knew   
   about Usenet in the first place and now it's dinosaur tool before the even   
   came to know it!   
      
   Which shows that most of the technological development is way to fast for   
   human existence (and human ethics and their development or lack thereof) or,   
   to put it the other way around, those building there lives around it are   
   trapped in a hamster wheel of    
   constant change and hype...   
      
   Again: I like technological stuff, but NEVER what it to impose a rhythm on or   
   dictate my life... ...it should be the other way around :)
