One of the benefits of writing in tradional medium is that you have the opportunity to reflect. A message transmitted to another will be vetted only after it has been painstakingly reduced to an image of ink on paper. Plus, your secretary has the opportunity to query, "Do you really think it is wise to threaten the Mayor in such a manner?"
All of these benefits are lost in the virtual world. Any idea, no matter how bizarre, is instantly communicated to everyone. If I push off as hard as I can, I can roll my chair out of my office and into the hallway. The internet should be shut down (or licensed).

Now I see that only 1% of internet sites are pornographic. Disgusting!

So I tried the chair thing and at first I discovered I couldn't make it into the hallway. But then I realized I wasn't really pushing off as hard as I could. After I stopped holding back, it took only a couple of crashes into the wall before I finally made it easily and repeatedly into the hallway. There I finally felt free -- like an untangled marionette.
Thank you OneEar and thank you blogger.
See what happens when you really put your mind to something? It's an inspirational story.
