* It can be up or down. It's more fun when it's up,
but it makes it hard to get any real work done.

* In the long-distant past, its only purpose was to
transmit information considered vital to the
survival of the species. Some people still think
that's the only thing it should be used for, but
most folks today use it for fun most of the time.

* It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its own
devices, it will just do the same damn dumb things
it did before.

* It provides a way to interact with other people.
Some people take this interaction very seriously,
others treat it as a lark. Sometimes it's hard to
tell what kind of person you're dealing with until
it's too late.

* If you don't apply the appropriate protective
measures, it can spread viruses.

* It has no brain of its own. Instead, it uses yours.
If you use it too much, you'll find it becomes more
and more difficult to think coherently.

* We attach an importance to it that is far greater
than its actual size and influence warrant.

* If you're not careful what you do with it, it can
get you in big trouble.

* It has its own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good
your intentions, it will warp your behavior. Later
you may ask yourself "why on earth did I do that?"

* Some folks have it, some don't.

* Those who have it would be devastated if it were
ever cut off. They think that those who don't have
it are somehow inferior. They think it gives them
power. They are wrong.

* Those who don't have it may agree that it's a nifty
toy, but think it's not worth the fuss that those
who do have it make about it. Still, many of those
who don't have it would like to try it.

* Once you've started playing with it, it's hard to
stop. Some people would just play with it all day
if they didn't have work to do.
