My girlfriend has left the room. I am not sure when she left, i could have been staring at this screen for hours, oblivious to what else is going on in the room or the real world.
My girlfriend and i LOVE the tv show ‘24′. We are on season 5 and as expected..we are totally hooked………until today. If you like ‘24′ it can take over your life: a colleague once told me that she had set her alarm an hour early that day so she could squeeze in an episode before work.
Recently i have started reading blogs on a regular basis, i kind of knew what they were about a year ago but i wasn’t sure about the true meaning of the ‘blogosphere’ until last week. Now, every day i log into to my netvibes page and start reading blogs (BuzzMachine, The Long Tail, Annie Mac’s Blog, Authentic Buzz etc), within a week my appetite for Jack Bauer cutting off terrorists’ hands to get their fingerprints has greatly diminished.
What has occured to me though is that i have been staring at the screen pretty much since i got back from work, my girlfriend has walked out of the room in discust. If all this blogging and web 2.0 is, as i tell my better half, ‘the future’, then is my normal human interaction with her going to suffer??????
…………………..oh, and we only have one computer.
