Re: His Choice
Did anyone read the article? Unless I need a college refund pronto, it's an essay on what some people do with their time once they have BB, not a debate on one access method versus another.
IMO, the author makes a valid point: There will always be people that spend most of their spare time on line even with a dial-up connection; the point -- I think, anyway -- is that once you obtain 'the need for speed' that BB provides, the possibility of worsening an Internet addiction, whether latent or full-blown, is certainly more likely. Sure, you can be a boozer w/dialup; what are you with T2 speeds and more?
An Internet addictive personality + BB, to some folks, would be akin to capturing a bear only to find themselves in the cage with it -- at least I believe that's what the article was driving at.
