What'll be somewhat scary is when someone starts figuring out how to link the new social media to the old one - like Facebook updates being piped into your cell phone via text messaging and automated voice mails. The big problem right now, as someone has pointed out, is that there're so many forms o...

I definitely work at trying to get the attention of other people, especially car drivers. Where I used to wear dark, subdued colors like navy blue, grey, black, or dark brown mixed with white and the occasional burst of rust, orange, or maroon, I now lean toward bright colors like fire engine red, b...

A job is...something you get to pay the bills, maybe learn a skill that'll end up being relevant to a greater whole. It all depends on how you look at it. For example, I'm training to be an English Literature professor, but I've been picking up jobs and skills that have absolutely nothing to do with...

Aye, but those are examples of isolated reactions to the event, and furthermore, they're from people who remember what life was like before the advent of cellular phones (to say nothing of mobile web devices), which only supports my point that the SMR is probably in its nascent stages. We all see it...

I think you have to be social in order to make heads or tails of this. I don't even own a television, so I guess I'm out. I would say television is one of the least social appliances/channels. If anything, you not owning a tv makes you more social (then again, I would think so because I don't own o...

Oh, I'm not thinking solely of Facebook: as an addendum to my previous statement, I'm willing to wager that FB will be eventually replaced by a stronger, faster, flashier version of itself: after all, that's what happened to MySpace. What I mean by social media is everything : the text messaging, fa...

True, but sometimes shock exposure makes people think. I'm certainly obsessed with staying under 150 pounds, and all the reading I've been doing on HFCS has lead me to an unhealthy tendency to scan the labels of just about every beverage I have ever considered drinking. Nowadays, I've been sticking ...

It won't really be possible to track when the Social Media Revolution (SMR) started, if there even is one, because like all evolution, it started off slowly, much in the same way concepts like facebook evolved from concepts like newsgroups. The Internet is an awesome achievement, yes, but when manki...

No, nuclear bombs merely took war to a whole new level. This is about culture .

I don't fall for the hype: tap water is just as good as bottled water. I guess that depends on where you live, right? Hells yeah. I honestly can't stand the chlorine taste in the water from most parts of the U.S. I've been to, but I can say that there are big differences in the chlorine levels. It'...

Paul, the problem is that soft drinks have become just as much a part of the American diet as... I met a 26 year old girl the other day who drinks six liters of cola every day. She's in the hospital. It's not a coincidence. You mean 'drank,' as in, 'her doctor told her to stop drinking so much pop.'

Well, that comes as a consequence of the trickiness of dealing with magic and cyberware in Shadowrun. It's dealing with ideas and theories that go beyond current technology and thinking. It's best to stick with stuff that people can work with. But back to the professional criminal bit. Labeling shad...

Last time I checked, Coca-Cola had no stock in tap water. :p I mean, I love Red Bull as much as the next guy, but I don't drink it for the taste; I refuse to drink that stuff unless I'm fairly sure I can burn off the calories in short order (usually during a work shift). Also, I think we may be talk...

Well, here's something scary, if you think about it. I'm 34 years old. To me, e-mail is a tool. To my 14-year old brother, e-mail was a way of life, one which has quickly been succeeded by text messaging. It's one of the reasons I completely distrust any ruling on the social effects of cyberlimbs, w...
