wow… I agree. I have friends losing their jobs from all sectors. I work for myself so it has its own issues. You can never leave it! It stares at you when you are trying to watch 30 Rock! We have to get together with our friends at each others houses more instead of constantly going to the clubs or restaurants in the Lower east side. I here that Wii is the new social thing now where you can compete against each other from the comfort of your own couch. You don’t even need to talk to one another or see each other. Forget our old ways of normal socialization and actually visiting each other, having a laugh over a board game.

My parents love to play cards- any type of cards.  But they just called me saying that they want to buy all the kids a Wii so we can virtually play against each other!!!  They are 70!  I wonder if they will get addicted to Wii and then Second Life? Are we all becoming a society of agoraphobics living inly in the virtual world?
