THE E PRINCIPLE

 

Hmmm, it occurred to me today – in one of those sideways leaps my mind sometimes makes – that I have more e-friends than face-to-face friends. Two dimensional friendships with thumbnail photos and wall-to-wall chatting. The fruits of online social networking.

 

Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy and value these friendships. But the phantom nature of them gets me to wondering. E-mail, e-banking, e-commerce, e-meetings, e-friends… Where will it all lead? So much of our life happens virtually these days.
