Query: A well-written and timely (even now) expose of Net hype

Even though Silicon Snake Oil is a few years old (ancient by high tech standards) the words of wisdom ring true today. In fact, little has changed really. The hype continues, the promises made, the diappointments legion. I have found little on the Net that compares favorably to real life. Communications, knowledge, realtionships all happen better in the real world than they do online. Only those who have been online so long that there brains have turned to mush would argue with this. The Internet creates more problems than it solves and lowers the quality of life for all those who take part in it. Internet?? Internot!!!!
