Do you know how many people are festering right now because their corporate culture mandates exclusive use of digital communications? He's not answering his BlackBerry! I left him six e-mails! Aieee!
That's 24 hours in which no person, no media organization, no blogger, no social network, no whoever or whatever can disseminate, transmit, broadcast, pass along any new information to anyone else.
The children are sending out pictures of their penises over the computer. Did you know this? Enterprising youth! Only one penis that I know of has come into our house this way, but there may be more.
Many MSU decision-makers don't have a clear idea of the distinction between the use of university or departmental listservs and the general use of university e-mail accounts.
McCain's email flirts with misinformation throughout its four paragraphs: giving a half nod to President Obama's attempts at Republican outreach and then throwing that nod away.
By tomorrow, the country will find out if MSU prefers bullying students with an unconstitutional anti-spam policy to complying with the First Amendment.
I am nowhere near as important or on the same need-to-be-connected level as our soon-to-president, but you'd have to pry those communication tools out of my cold, dead hands.
Google will be competing with Skype, the popular application which allows people to make free video and audio calls. But already, people are moving towards Gmail.
Emails saying absolutely anything about a candidate could not only be sent anonymously, but whoever sends them would actually be allowed to break any sort of anti-spam laws to do so.
Obama is in the House, which was the goal. But what happens to us now - those who are part of his massive database of names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and Twitter accounts?

Breaking up over e-mail is a social no-no.
But sending an e-card telling someone to get tested for STDs may be a public health courtesy.
A California...
Dear Christine,
The girl I've been dating for six months just broke up with me. But even worse than being dumped is the way she let me know it was ov...
Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send. Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night ...
Each election cycle is like the country threatening to get divorced. We claim to each have the best interest of the children at heart, but each works to convince anyone who will listen that the other is a crazy person who cannot be trusted with the kids.
If the extent of his war injuries prevents McCain from learning "how to get online," that's fine -- though he should have the decency to divulge to America what his actual limitations are.
I first became aware of the fact that someone had hacked into my Hotmail account and used it to perpetrate a version of the "Nigerial Email Scam" when my mom called me.
We can help make her Saint Sarah the Slandered by forwarding this garbage without thinking and passing it on as though they just came from our good friend Bob Woodward...
John McCain invited me to a convention-watching party! I think I'll go. What will my BFF Obama think? Who cares? I haven't received a single text or email from him during the month of August. Not one!
Late Sunday, the campaign contacted supporters via email and text message, announcing that the presumptive Democratic nominee's vice presidential choice will be announced via text.
Be aware, it takes even more energy and resources, pound for pound, to produce a Dell than a Dodge. A computer's energy usage has just begun once it leaves the factory, though.
