I hate phone calls. Just like someone knocking on your door, it's a demand for immediate attention, sometimes with consequences (even if just social pressure) for not responding. The beauty of email is that I can send and receive messages at my convenience. I would love to keep every feature of my smartphone and just strip out the phone part!

As for social networking, I have a somewhat different view. First, I'm really terrible about remembering who I've told what. So left to my own devices, one peer hears it ten times and the other nine never hear it at all. Second, there's a lot of people that I don't have a regular, face-to-face connection with, but I'd still love to hear even the banalities that give character to their lives. Social networking solves both of those issues.

All of that say, I agree that there's nothing quite as nice as meeting someone face-to-face. But in lieu of that, I'll take email and social networking any day of the week.

Is anyone else concerned about how obsessed Chad, John, and Pat are with Chris's Penis?

Also, I just did 100 reps and have a huge boner!
