Let-down of the 00's

Electronic communication has brought with it a few new shared experiences. As I mentioned on my other blog, one of them is the sensation of screaming in rage and frustration at some hapless phone-centre "tech-support" type, only to find that actually, the device IS unplugged.

Another is the stomach-drop one experiences when one opens one's e-mail and finds that "You have one (1) message waiting", only to find that it's the same one you didn't open yesterday.

A 5:30 thought.
