It stands for everything that's been lost
Monday, June 03, 2002
I got to thinking about what will happen if we don't have email. I mean, it's so quick and efficient that we can't really imagine ourselves without it now, can we? But yet, maybe 15-20 years ago, it's not even heard of, let alone used so globally. A series of emails today sort of determined that I will be able to take up French again (I think) next semester in school. I mean, my point is, that without the help of emails, I will probably have to get my arse down to campus and go through all that face-to-face fake stuff. I can't stand that. At least if you are not too happy with the reply flashing on your screen, you can stick your tongue and curse at it. This is far more liberating than you would think.
Food for thought: my lecturer once told me that people in the 19th century play chess move by move via snail mail. I don't even think it's qualified snail mail-- maybe slug mail. I don't know. Imagine playing a game of chess for over a year or something! Each party will have a chess set in their homes and by sending the other party their moves via days of horses/ postmen etc. I will die just waiting for the person's opening move man.
