Last week I started my rant on the duality of this new Internet society we now all live in. I know there are many examples and I bet you can think of some I have missed. Last week I used our seniors,
Asics Mexico 66 Shoes Will DirectX 10 Graphics Deliver Bette, well here's another. Today, our kids can socialize through chat rooms and web cams, globally. It has opened up a whole new world of diversity,
Nike Dunk Heels, exchange and communication, this is a good thing. It has also given birth to a whole new type of child predator, a very bad thing. Everybody and everything has become totally reliant on computers and an Internet connection. Everything, business,

Our new digital world has replaced the film camera, killed the record store. Email has been a wounding blow to the post office (though the Internet was a boom to the shipping companies).

In many instances people are starting to use these to replace their real lives. This could be a bad thing .

Neither you nor the other person is going to get much further. In our minds, this �Cloud' has become an all knowing, all connecting abstract thing where the universe is stored. Something so big so complicated that we can only search it with Google. This �Cloud', to us, is probably better off just being known as the �Cloud' and all our computers and devices connect us to this Cloud' and some all knowing data base hidden somewhere deep inside, so if the computer says so,
