The advancement of communication technology in the last twenty years is both astonishing and welcome. The ease with which we can all keep in contact, regardless of where we live in the world, is truly remarkable. I'm in awe of it and totally accept the massive benefits, both socially and commercially. I'm pretty sure you can all sense a "however" coming.....
People now communicate on a global level because they CAN---not because they have anything in particular to say. I have a rule which I pass on to all my friends about "humourous" emails. If, twenty years ago, you'd found something in a newspaper so amusing that you'd go to the trouble to cut it out and post it to me, then fine----that's the level of email quality I'm looking for. I really don't want to see a monkey peeing on a zoo warden just because it's a couple of clicks away.
Let me say again that the internet has changed all our lives in a wonderful way. I don't doubt that for a single second and, obviously, without it, I wouldn't be communicating with you all now----or making the many friends that I have done on this site. I'm just saying that the ability to share every single thought with the world has its drawbacks.
And to those companies who keep emailing me, I'm reasonably content---although, granted, not ecstatic---with the size of the penis I have.
