I guess I'm old-fashioned in a way, but I'd much rather hear from my friends by phone once a week, than getting sentence long updates all day long. Though many of my friends (eh-em, Kendall) would rather I catch up with the technology evolution! Karen Adam,

But then I am. I may belong to the last generation who wrote letters, put them in an envelope with a stamp, sent it off, and waited (sometimes weeks, no kidding, if someone was overseas or something) for a reply. Guess I'll put that onion on my belt now. You’re making me feel old. But then I am.

Google Wave really will be changing a TON of stuff...moving so much more to real-time connections and conversations...it should be exciting. Though I don't know if I'm ready to leave my Apple Mail Inbox and all my beautifully-organized folders to move back to web-based mail/messaging. We'll see though. Google Wave is pretty damn hot.
