Internet Users Aren't Geeks
from the um.--duh. dept
Apparently, someone hadn't realized that the internet is pretty pervasive these days and gone way past the age of being "for geeks". So, they went out and conducted a study and found that (surprise, surprise), the internet isn't just for geeks any more. The typical internet user is a social person who reads more books and is involved in more social activities than the non-internet user. Of course, I wonder what the profile of the average non-internet user is these days? If anything, I'd bet the general impression is that such a person is much more of an oddity than a heavy internet user.

not just for geeks...
Remember the days before spam? Before morons typed in all caps? Before L33T sp384 or whatever? Before the AOL "Me too" posts on Usenet...or for that matter, when Usenet was actually useful?

Re: Yes. not just for geeks...
Amen to that, brothers.
I would gladly do without the web if Usenet was back to the old days, and I didn't have to hermetically seal my e-mail account. In a lot of ways, commercial access/use of the Internet has ruined the community that existed, one that 98% of people on line now will never know.
I have a dream... of a geeknet, superimposed over the garbage network we have now, engineered from the ground up to prevent this commercial abuse.
