I had many people tell me how unusable that clutch pedal was...

I've often thought that the development of the automatic transmission was the beginning of the downfall of western civilization!!

I think the internet is even worse. Screw going out and actually meeting people. I have you all right here. See what I mean? Social life suffers, etc.

Then again, I deal with people a lot where I work. I like to get away from people on my days off and the 'net is perfect for that. Cheaper buying stuff online, too.

Still, it's a double-edged sword in the extreme and I have to watch myself with it.
