Have you ever spent hours trying to decide how to proceed with a project you’ve been working on? Probably most of us could nod our heads in agreement. Yet start explaining your problem to someone else and suddenly your next steps become obvious. That simple act of discussion seems to trigger ideas.

What did I used to do with myself before I got a computer? Did I really have a life with hobbies and activities of my own? How did I ever manage? The thought of going away and not being online for a day or two is almost too much for me to imagine. Does it matter that most of the email I get is advertising or forwards of a joke that has been passed on way too often? Don’t I realize that the chain letter that promises wealth and happiness if I send it to ten people is really a waste of my time? Don’t I know that my dishes are piled in the sink and the dust is gathering around my feet? Can I not see that my clock says one a.m. and I need to get up at six?

To use Twitter or not, that is the question. It seems that every time I turn around, someone is mentioning Twitter. People ask me what Twitter is, television shows ask for viewers to send in their Twitter comments, and businesses wonder how Twitter can help their profits. Instead of a short-lived fad, Twitter is becoming an important part of our modern lives. So should you be using Twitter?

Computers, like cars, don’t last forever. Nor would you really want them to. Eventually, the time will come to purchase another computer. And with the options available today, you’ll wonder why you didn’t trade the old one in a long time ago.

All of my family members are on Facebook. It was just a matter of time before I registered too. It’s nice to keep up with what everyone is doing and much easier to post photos once for all to see. However, this is the one thing that I also don’t like about Facebook. The fact that when someone on my friends list posts photos, it’s possible for people that I don’t even know to see them too. Privacy when it comes to the internet and sites like Facebook is something that needs to paid attention to.
