    Dear friends,

    in all the hurry to catch my exam, I forgot to include some deep thoughts about the computer mediated society of today:

    "To paraphrase Anthony Giddens, addiction now substitutes for tradition. With the decline of the historical narrative and the continuing destruction of older places and communities by the forces of capitalism, addiction, at least is predictable: what is consumed is the same each time, the parameters become known, and surprise is minimized."

    Ken Hillis -Digital sensation, p.29.

    Keep on groovin till next week!
