A little riddle to get you all started this semester.
How can you tell when you and your persona are associated far too much with your online activities?
When people start calling you by your login name.
In real life, your name is everything.

Next, we discovered air space with airplanes; then outerspace with new rocket technology.
Now, in the "Information Age," we are trying frantically to probe the inner workings of a new kind of space.

Those nasty computer-related acronyms: We constantly see or hear them being used on-line and by that snotty 17-year-old employee who works as Computer City.
