I love technology but not as much as you, you see

MIRANDA
O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't!

PROSPERO
'Tis new to thee.
(Shakespeare, The Tempest, V.i.203-27)

I thought of this quote a couple days ago when I was playing a game online with a friend from Charlotte, NC and a friend from Cranbrook, BC. I never dreamed this was possible when I first used the Internet about 10 years ago. I was reminded of it this morning when was I reading my sister's post about blogging. As I marvel at all these feats of technology, they will seem commonplace (or possibly antiquated) to younger generations.
