Does anyone else feel like maybe they've reached the end of the internet, and maybe the more interesting part of life isn't connected by 0s and 1s?
news - check. blogroll - check. finances - check. apple site - check. tv-links.co.uk - check. airliners.net - check. my sense of discovery in the internet is at a standstill. I'm incredibly suspect of second life. friend networks always have a time limit. the internet just doesn't hold the same sense of importance to me anymore.
I'm getting old. officially.

I'm with you. The internet seems to be stagnating. I don't miss it as much when I don't have access and I'm stuck doing the same stuff - watching Steve Jobs do a keynote or Homestarrunner cartoons or movie trailers or quick chicken scratches on people's walls and that's it.
Though I do use it for research quite often. I think it has become a utility and utilities aren't as exciting as they were when they first came out (microwaves, dishwashers, garden hoses).
I have been feeling that way lately too, that the internet just doesn't have the same attraction as it used to. Although I do feel extremely cut off from the rest of the world when we don't have it, so I shouldn't complain. And it's annoying that some of my friends/family don't bother with email so I have to try and communicate with them in other ways. I think if I was living on North America I would be much less dependent on the net.
