ubiquitous internet is great for some things but it can also be a hurdle.

take people at shows who are more concerned with tweeting and updating their facebook status than with what goes on around them. simply pathetic. listen to the music, bitch, and smell the strangers around you.

there is something horribly hollow and sad about trying to be constantly on display rather than immerse yourself in whatever you're doing. there is a physical reality to be experienced that still beats any online thing. legs, for example, are better in person.
