Two Dads are Better than None

Instant Messaging

Instant messenging is for the lonely I think. I seem to be
doing fine without it. Perhaps it has run its course in our society or at
least for my age group. who knows. It is great for meeting people. Just
think,right now this second there are people all over the world getting to
know each other for the first time digitally.

Sociologists would have us belive that there is some merit is having people
learn about others while factors such as age, race and nationality are not a
barrier. There is a truth to that but it also seems that we use it more to
act our fantasies. Will this make us better adjusted? The verdict is still
out. Still, it seemd from my experiences that there are a lot of us with
secrets out there.

We are on the brink of a sociological evolution with an entire "digital
generation." A friend and I recently discussed at length the need to get his
infant son an email address. The thought behind this was to get his name
before someone else took it.

Will this giant experiment bring people together or just give us a safe
distance to hide from. I suppose it may very well emulate normal society .
