So True....
The Internet was a terrific concept and a lot of fun-for a while. Now it is just a place where criminal elements of every age, from those looking for a thrill to out and out crooks, can have an international field day. Governments seem hardly to care that people's IDs are stolen, PCs crashed etc. etc.

You know, there is real pleasure to be derived from writing a letter to a friend, going to the library and becoming immersed in books, or taking a walk and discover all the little things you never noticed before.

How it got out of control so quickly and the lack of real efforts to hunt down and truly punish computer crooks is perhaps the biggest wonder of all. Guess we have just seen exactly what human nature is, and it's not a pretty sight.
