Comments on: Going Crazy in the Information Age http://www.rotatingpilgrim.com/2009/going-crazy-in-the-information-age/ ...to annoy, confuse, debunk, educate, and delight Tue, 11 May 2010 20:53:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Rotating Pilgrim http://www.rotatingpilgrim.com/2009/going-crazy-in-the-information-age/comment-page-1/#comment-64 Rotating Pilgrim Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:42:39 +0000 http://www.rotatingpilgrim.com/?p=125#comment-64 My hope is that at the very least technology will connect us well enough that this isn't a matter of me sitting in a dark hole in my house, but rather the positive aspects of participation and engagement are taken everywhere. Then these methods of discussion, debate, and sharing are just one more tool in our arsenal of language, writing, speaking, living. But so long as the computer is a confining machine, then I start to feel my involvement in these places is an unhealthy addiction. So, hopefully this can be turned more outward, more genuinely social, more in community with those near me. Eh? Am I naive? Heh heh.

I'm so addicted to blogs and internet forums. Sometimes I get a queasy feeling before i enter a discussion, I think, "I don't really want to go here..." but I end up doing so anyway because I can't help it! I agree!
