[QUOTE="paul1149, post: 64793370, member: 280608"] Hi Brinny, It's here to stay. What it will look like, though, is anyone's guess. I first was online in 1983, with the proprietary CompuServ. It was text-based, and it cost extra to access their forums. Then came the internet, with CS as its gateway. And then CS no longer was needed. In the early days everything was innocent and exciting. Then I watched usenet go downhill. Then Yahoo's chat rooms. Then spam became the largest use of email bandwidth. Then inappropriate content became pervasive. Then we lost our privacy. Technology is a two-edged sword. It's a question of who will be in control of it, and that's not looking too good from my perspective. But we are called to be engaged (LK 19: [I]Pragmateuomai[/I]), and to use what we can. [/QUOTE]
