delightful & curious watching students this morning write postcards, mostly to their parents, in which they declare their love for them, that they miss them, that they're writing these in class! and questions like "where do I put the stamp? how do I mail it? where is the post-office"? #othernetworks

a Usenet post also probably from 1980: "Try to make the net a useful exchange of useful information and ideas, that will pay for the service and help people. In other words, make the net a useful tool, not a place to expose yourself, our ego and your bad manners. Thank you." #othernetworks

we know Americans lose about 55 hours a year to driving or sitting in traffic. how many hours do we lose configuring cookie settings for every single website we visit? hmph. probably not enough hours because we get worn down from it all and declare all too often "FINE, OK, ACCEPT ALL" #othernetworks
