Absolutely, DD.

My response to that is usually "then you'd damn well better start checking them more frequently or don't complain when you don't know what's going on."

It endears me to a lot of people. NOT.

E-mail is the single one best invention of the last century. Without it, I'd actually have to talk to my family. Like, over the phone.

Now we can easily communicate without screaming. That's a good thing.

Well, MY niece is a highly intelligent and precocious 7-year-old.

Seriously, DD!

D2, thanks, but you're not one of the trio. You actually use your email accounts.

DD, my family hates email too. They're phone communicators. A big reason why we barely communicate.

there was video on youtube from 1967 that predicted email and online shopping. Yahoo featured it today. Weird.

Rath, I'm still waiting on my PM.

he he he ... mom LOVES email but gets easily confused by it and links and the internet in general. I usually end up calling her anyway. It's faster that way - and our conversations are still 30 mins +.

I saw that, taz.

I often wonder what the end of this century will bring. For instance, if you compare the early 1900s to, say, the 1990s, that's really quite a change in dress, transportation, social attitudes, and overall technology.

I would rather email than talk to people. Easier to edit.

My mother loves email (to a fault), but I don't speak to her in general.

The members of my family with whom I would choose to communicate are the ones who rarely sit down at the computer. Some don't at all. Ever.

Bring on the teleporters!!! I could be in NYC in minutes ... and hopefully in one piece.

[D2]

Posted: 12/14/07 at 7:52pm

I like talking to people, usually, but I have to admit that sometimes it's just less tiring to type.

I just read that. It sounds retarded. What the hell.

scotty, beam me up!

[DayDreamer]

I always have in the back of my mind that scene in the very first Star Trek movie where the teleporter doesn't quite work.

My sisters and I email every day. Love it. We all hate the phone.

The phone always rings at the most inopportune time.

[StageManager2]

Posted: 12/14/07 at 7:55pm

I love to chat on the phone. Unfortunately, not everyone does.

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 12/14/07 at 7:56pm

Phones ring?

(I keep mine on vibrate ... and don't have a land line)

"The phone always rings at the most inopportune time."

Like when Ivan and I are... getting busy.

I like the editing option, definitely. I'm also too ADD-prone to be able to sit and relax on the phone. With email I can be watching tv, singing, listening to music, etc. Plus, you know you're not interrupting someone at an inconvenient moment. They can read and get back to you at their convenience.

[D2]

Posted: 12/14/07 at 7:58pm

Exactly!

*Calls Rath. Thinks better of it. Hangs up*

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 12/14/07 at 7:58pm

EXACTLY!

If it's urgent, that's what texting is for.

And when did "text" become a verb, truly?

[StageManager2]

Posted: 12/14/07 at 7:59pm

I tend to pace when I chat on the phone. I literally log miles around my apartment.

[tazber]

Posted: 12/14/07 at 8:00pm

I'm with you Rath, I hate the phone. Don't have the patience for it either.

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 12/14/07 at 8:00pm

If I'm on the phone at home or work, I'm usually checking my email at the same time.
