Not much time to write, but just a quick note on today's world of communication. I just noticed that I have 4 email addresses that I check regularly. Why in God's name do I need that many? I get that they are used for different purposes, but really. I sometimes wonder how many messages I get each day, too. On my college email, I probably get 50+ emails a day, and that is just things having to do with me! I just can't imagine people 100 years ago dealing with something like that. Then again, I suppose they would have just gotten used to it like us.
Also, there are so many social networks out there, that I just can't think of how many people are involved on the internet, such as what I'm doing right now. Then I just go back to thinking of capitalism all over again, thinking how, if a profit can be made, then hoards of companies will jump in to make as much as they can. Thanks to this simplistic view of economics, we have things like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc.
Just thought I would blurb a little about that.
By the way, because I'm such a neat freak, I have a running list of all of the websites, companies, etc. (to the best of my knowledge) with which I have some sort of online account. That way, I know what I want to keep/delete when I'm not using a certain online service. I don't want to be on someone's database if I'm not using it anymore. It's crazy to think about the hundreds of databases I am on, just in the electronic world.

I think I have had like 12 different emails. I check my yahoo every now and then and there are about 70+ emails and all are CRAP.
