6.

I used to enjoy this time of night - people would be online and just yabber on for a while. Time was when people would log into a PC and communicate - before that; text messages, before that - phones... Before that even was face to face communication. Now that we are all online via wireless devices, does this mean the death knell for social communication as we know it?

This could all become a disjointed mess of communication, where no one knows anything (what's new?) as to what's happening, or indeed happened before them. Google is everyone's friend nowadays, yet no one seems keen on using it. 

Why are people getting more and more frigid in the age where socialisation and knowledge is predominantly there at your fingertips to make you feel the king of the planet? 

This world will become what it becomes; but I won't bow to pressure. I'm keen on knowledge. Gone are the days when the pen is mightier than the sword - Behold the all conquering behemoth that is the World Wide Web, consuming and devouring all before them. Equal to no one, but poor English techniques and memes.

I'm happy in my bubble; I'll live and die as I see fit. It's those that feel the insecurity of proclaiming their position in the World in terrible places and poorly constructed English that I feel sorry for...
