A toast to the out-of-doors, away from seductive screens of any kind, be they TV or PC. (And yes, I do know what Flickr is, but my audience might not...) I will say that I don't use Flickr; perhaps this is heresy, but too bad. -Jenny Hi Adam,
Thanks for the spirited comment! A toast to the out-of-doors, away from seductive screens of any kind, be they TV or PC. (And yes, I do know what Flickr is, but my audience might not…) I will say that I don’t use Flickr; perhaps this is heresy, but too bad.

They pooh-poohed the concept that online social interaction was not equivalent to human personal interaction. They got impatient at the interviewer when she didn't know what flickr was. They said the internet was good for social interaction and took people away from staring at the mind-numbing TV screen. (And they didn't even see the irony of this last statement.) They even had the gall to scoff at the interviewer when she said TV and the internet BOTH take people away from getting out in the fresh air and meeting for coffee and kids' soccer. They seemed to be the poster children for "Don't fall too deep into the Internet or this could happen to you!" I think I'll log off for a while and see what's on TV, it seems safer!

I haven't listened to it, but I remember being particular depressed and snappish — the Internet is being murdered and my ThinkPad had just broke — but, fortunately, Chris and Stowe were delightful." Now what's interesting here is that in the interview, David expressed concern that the Internet <em>might</em> be murdered -- conditional future tense -- and that the forces that might do so haven't really woken up yet to the threat the web poses to business as usual. So why the switch? What's going on out there to prompt the use of the present tense??? Your input is in demand. Cheers, Jenny On Joho the Blog, Dec 7, David Weinberger had this comment to make:

Her first question was directed to me, where she asked whether the growth of the Web was uncontrolled, like evolution, or was it instead following some intelligent design. I replied that the Web seems to be proceeding like an orgy: its headed somewhere, but no one is in control. David was peeved because of a series of hardware problems (PC, not human) that day, but he doesn't seem it. Chris was funny, despite the fact that we were missing the first half of the symposium cocktail party. December 07, 2005
