Certainly in the matter of Word documents and spreadsheets. But as the technology increases and it filters down to the masses, it will constantly be put to new uses. For example, movies, holograms, entire libraries, etc.

Just finished a new sci fi book by Vernor Vinge, a dude who really really knows computers, its called 'Rainbows End' about the near future, about 30 years from now where computer and storage technology reaches levels we would consider godlike now. We are still primitives in technology much as we like to consider ourselves incredibly smart.

Movies, holograms and libraries will need filtering too. Why wouldn't they?

It's the simple fact that information (be it media or not) is accumulating exponentially, so filtering and good search engines or equivalents are becoming progressively the choking point.

what have commitment papers got to do with my therapist?

she's only helping me with my shoulder ligamnets.

The trouble is Stupid valley you judge people by your own low standards. Just because your therapist tries to mend your brain, don't expect we all have those problems.

No. The problem is that I hit on your secret weakness.... megalomania. And you are obsessed with revenge. Apparently, I'm not the first person in your life to discover your insanity. I'm just the one who is available for your irrational fixation and need for "revenge".

Glad to be of service. Better me than your "loved ones".

Megalomania AND revenge, boy I am the baddist person on the planet.

You continually Blab on about how great you are all the time and gets so uppity about the slightest criticism of the good old US of A. Me i don't make those claims, I just laugh at yours.

The megalomania secret, well you've been uncovering that for a while, but I still don't get it.

The revenge business, call me strange but when someone insults me I do tend to enjoy insulting them back. Real wierd huh?

What is between you and me has nothing to do with any "issue" and you know it. We don't like each other. Period.

I have an instinctive dislike of egomaniacs. I "perceive" you as such. I may be wrong. There is no way of knowing without meeting you face to face.

Why do you think I made fun of you in the first place? I don't want you to sprain anything, so I'll tell you.

It was your notion that if we fight the terrorists we are playing into their hands.

I will just state the obvious. If we fight them, then... they win. If we don't fight them then they win.

That is just plain ..... STUPID dude.

And it was being called stupid that set you off. I recognized your irrational obsession with me from that point on. So don't pretend that this has anything to do with "issues".... except your issue with sanity.

Yet again you invent arguments for me.

I am not against fighting terrorists.

I am against fighting them the George Bush way. Its not a conventional war, you fight them with brains and on many levels.

Your way you admit you will still lose, yet you call me stupid.

I think irrationality is you strength.

This is where we got into it.... remember? What the hell are these brainy, unconventional methods? I implied that you had discovered "special secret methods" based on exactly this stupidity.

I asked you then, and I'll ask again... what are these "special" methods that you want to employ? Geez. We are waiting. The world depends on an answer and you are happy to deny us. That is downright "unsocial" and unkind. Why do you insist on holding these methods hostage? Share them.

It's not often that I see someone hijack their own thread. Well done.
