Before Google I never felt like I had to be able to find the answer to anything anytime but now I cannot imagine life without being able to find information instantly. 

I cannot imagine life without the internet in general.  And the iPod.  The Flip. Blackberry. Laptop. Desktop. Netbook. Kindle. Wii.  Email.  IM.  Twitter.  Blogs.  LinkedIn.  GPS.  Somebody stop me.

Seriously, technology has enriched my life in ways I never could have imagined.  But it has created some new puzzles.  Witness…..

Is it more impressive to other passengers on a plane that I am…

a. reading from an iPad

b. reading from a Kindle

c. reading from a thick scholarly tome which I can barely lift or

d. talking on my cell phone even though the forward door is closed

Which makes me more important….

a. 10,000 followers

b. 10,000 friends

c. 500+ contacts on LinkedIn or

d. 10,000 views on my own YouTube channel

Which has the highest cool factor….

a. my avatar attending a meeting in Second Life  

b. hosting my own webinar

c. my avatar hosting a webinar

Is it more rude to…

a. fail to reply to every text and email in real time no matter where I am

b. ignore the person standing in front of  me, e.g. the presenter at a meeting, so I can reply to texts and emails.  (what are all those hands doing under the conference table anyway?)

c. neither of these is rude

d. both of these are rude

Gotta run – I’m sure the answers are in Wikipedia.
