So a friend has sent you unwanted...

What do you a say to a friend who just found out about the Internet last year and has send you an unwanted e-mail from a third party. Now those third parties have my e-mail address.

How do I teach, from a great distance, about the etiquette of the Internet and e-mail. At least he does use decent grammar and some good punctuation. For a while he would put his message inside the message he was forwarding. He usually only write about two sentences or three. But anything much longer, forget. He will show me something he got new, but I ask what did he get his wife, that goes in one eye and out the other. Nothing to slow anything down. He might be a little on there on one wing, right or left, that is the only thing he thinks he understands.

I am struggling with a few people who do this kind of stuff because that haven't been around the Internet to long. This Internet is great as long as it is free. There are, however, the are some places who don't always steer you in the right direction of give you the correct information you really need. Yet it is a great place to search and find new things.

I wish I could put into words what I am thinking. I wish others could see what I have seen. I wish I knew what is right. I know, wish in one hand, and the other will remain as it is.

Have you seen anything NEW?

I have been watching what I thought was the latest things on the internet over the past few years. Apparently I'm just a small view of what is going on around the net. There are so many things going around us that there isn't enough time to see it all. I have just see Frindfeed go with Real-time updates. WOW. It is going to speed up everything you watch or do.

Also I just saw CNN do an interview with a hologram image. That is cool. But I wander what it looked like on the set. Will this replace telephones? You do remember telephones, don't you? The quality of land lines is quite high and I think, better than cell phones. But then again, think about having a hologram using your cell phone. That would come handy trying to find answers from people you trust. It seems there is more to this than metes the eye. There is nothing like being face to face. But I can see some electrical doctoring of those pixel generation.

Have you seen these new TVs, computer monitors that the news channels are using with there two fingers to show what is going on. Microsoft showed this off a while back and now we see its uses. I don't see work being done with this type of interface.

OK, so what is the next technology for you? Can you get away from the internet? Do you take everything with you? How many devices does it take for you live in your comfort zone?

Is any of this going to help you get work done? Does all of this new stuff help you make decisions for things you need to make your comfort zone better?
