...The Digirata -- by ''Anonymous'' <br />GO placidly amid the hot links and the distractions,<br />and remember what peace there may be in unplugging.<br />As far as possible be on good terms with all persons online and never never flame others or engage<br />in any kind of cyberbullying or cyberstalking.<br /><br /><br />Key in your truths quietly and clearly;<br />and read what others have to say, too<br />even the dull and the ignorant;<br />for they too have their stories and ideas to impart, even if you disagree.<br /><br />Avoid angry and aggressive flamers and out of control cyberbullies,<br />for they are vexations to the spirit of the internet. <br /><br />If you compare your blog with other blogs that are better and have more visitors,<br />you may become vain and bitter, so just enjoy your own blog for what it is and don't<br />worry abut the big guys.<br /><br /><br />Enjoy your online achievements, as well as your plans for future downtime.<br /><br />Keep interested in your own blogging, however humble;<br />it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.<br />Exercise caution who you give your personal details to;<br />for the world is full of trickery and Nigerian scams waiting <br />to part you from your money.<br /><br /><br />Be yourself when you are online, <br />or, if it so pleases you, adopt a persona.<br />Use your real name or a pseudonym for your userid, <br />and let no one steal your password,<br />especially those pesky phishers.<br /><br />Take kindly the counsel of your fellow bloggers <br />and gracefully chat with your Facebook<br />friends in real time. But don't over do it, <br />and always take time out to unplug <br />and enjoy a weekly<br />''internet sabbath''.<br /><br />You are a child of the Digital Age,<br />no less than the SPAM and the pixels;<br />and you have every right to blog to your heart's content. <br />And whether or not it is clear to you,<br />no doubt cyberspace is unfurling as it should, <br />well, sort of, and you are part of the great equation,<br />whatever that might turn out to be.<br /><br />Therefore be at peace with Amazon and Yahoo,<br />and make of your Kindles and your nooks what you will. <br />E-readers to the fore!<br /><br />Whatever your labors and your aspirations,<br />in the multitasking distractions of cyberspace <br />keep peace with your soul -- if you still have one.<br /><br />Remember: With all its sham, mattdrudgery and quirky keyboards,<br />it is still a beautiful online world.<br /><br />Be cheerful. Be careful, too. Use the smilely emoticon as much as possible, and<br />strive to be a happy camper. Unplug often.<br /><br />----------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br /><br />[An encrypted message found in a bottle floating across a glaring screen in the middle of Manhattan, and keyed-in by an anonymous messenger.]DANIELBLOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130493903696077379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7582021787452634294.post-88401600923477280332010-09-10T21:56:32.250-07:002010-09-10T21:56:32.250-07:00yes, see DIGIRATA , google it Dr Cotter....yes, see DIGIRATA , google it Dr Cotter....DANIELBLOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130493903696077379noreply@blogger.com
