John, I know capslock used to lack 'netiquette' and was considered as shouting. But I noticed that I could read your post more easily than I can read the smaller text. Perhaps we've all aged and deteriorated since the younger days of the net in 1993 and 1995 when it took off.

So perhaps 'shouting' at the no-longer-young baby boomers, who are buying spectacles by the million and are increasingly saying 'pardon' when people speak to them, might be a good idea.

Another good thing about using computer screens is we don't have to roam around looking for a bit more light so we can read. Restaurants are often dimly lit, so if we've forgotten our reading glasses, we're in trouble.

It'll be much more convenient when we can have a wireless IT connection with a paperback-sized pdQ, where we can also store all our memories, and look at it while lying in bed instead of perched on what everyone must find is a not-always comfortable puter chair. Who has fallen off theirs at least once? Whose has collapsed, dumping them on the floor?

With a cochlea implant and direct optic nerve stimulation [or at least retina scan], we'll be home free.
