Google is taking over the world. I don't mean they're going to make you start searching for your own crap on the internet, I mean they are expanding into everything! I just opened my GMail account (send me email) and I installed Google Talk, their beta version IM. Its nothing fancy, but neither is the Google home page - and look how that changed your eLife. Hmm, what a great new word. Has anyone used that before? "eLife"? I'm going to start using that.
My eLife exploded in 1999 when I first got cable internet. Sure my old 14.4 modem and then the 56k modem worked for primitive internet but once I got cable I was hooked. Then came internet gaming, ICQ, unlimited porn. My eLife just hit puberty. When I first moved and I didn't have internet access, I didn't even bother turning my computer on. What do you do on a computer without internet? Type a letter? Create a spreadsheet? Now, my MSN Messenger is online even when I'm not home. When did your eLife begin?

Having worked in the software industry i lived and breathed technology. now in academia, i realize how damn computer illiterate my peers and professors are. it's hideous.
