Survival isn't the issue. Its a question of doing things more efficiently so that you waste less time carrying out boring routine tasks and more time doing things you enjoy. Because of these kinds of technological advances many people can travel to places they would never have been able to afford to go to before.

Not everyone is in the lucky position of being so independent of email. Actually I find the email function quite useful. Before I go grocery shopping I email my shopping list to my cell phone. But I seldom get email from others that has any urgency. What kind of BLOODY nutbar are you? Haven't you ever heard of TAKING your grocery list WITH YOU, when you go shopping? Talk about complicating the simple. Never heard of, "Keep it SIMPLE, STUPID"? Why kill a tree for something that's going to get thrown away anyway?

Some women take flowers, chocolates, and other gifts as their due and don't alter their behavior as a result. That's 'all women' not 'some women'. Giving women flowers, chocolates and gifts is normal behaviour, they expect them. What's more if you don't give her these things she will eventually find someone who will. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
