Do you remember when you used to watch TV just for the sake of it (if you ever did) and then started zapping through the programs, because there really wasn't anything worth watching?
My guess is that people are in communities like Y!A for the same reason: They have no idea what to do with their time.
I mean, of course, there are positive aspects to it, e.g. you are active in contrast to watching TV. But it is still far away from LIFE.
So my actual question is:
Do we still know at all what to do with our time?
If the internet broke down for a week, what would all those chatting, answering, downloading people do? Is it easy for you to make plans for the weekend, even if it's going to rain?
What does tradition mean in that regard? Was there more to do, let's say 50 or 100 years ago? Do we still have a life in that sense, or are we just lost within science fiction that became real, meaning that we do things because they can be done, but not because they make any good sense?
