I've sort of been putting this off, but mostly so I could try to get my thoughts together. Of course, no real organization came of it, so this will be rambling like the others but will hopefully explain everything I want to say.

The idea of humans becoming more and more dependent on technology is a frightening thought, but it's completely happening. And we've almost completely stopped communicating to each other on a physical level.

We're constantly separated and connected at the same time.

I'm like you: I dread living in a world where I never have to interact with my friends, my family, or other people in general. As much as the human race pisses me off, the thought of not being in contact with it makes my hair stand on end.

I think I'd kill myself first.

That CD is in the mail on its way to me as we speak. It may show up as soon as tomorrow or Saturday, at which point I can rip it for you and send it to you by some means or other

All very interesting stuff. Yeah I loves me some Internetz, but I like being around people too much.
Also "I noticed that people started talking to me as if I were deaf, at least mildly - speaking loudly, in choppy sentences composed of only the most important words, pantomiming. It seemed sort of difficult for some people to not let their own communication be interrupted by my lack thereof." I had that problem on the Day of Silence. It made me laugh. I wonder why people do that...

This is your observation that jumps out most at me. How infuriating it is to be on the receiving end of "not talking == stupid" crap!

This whole thing was really interesting to watch, and it relates to some of the stuff that we've been discussing in my Communication and Culture class. Thanks for letting us be a part of it!

Also:

"Usually, he waits until we're at least out of bed to be a dick. Thanks, Tom."

I read this out of context. =/
