My Facebook Friend and Real Life Neighbor, Melynn, asked what I thought of this LA Times article "You've Got Too Much Email." It took me a while to answer because, well, I had too much email . . . but, while I agree about the quantity of info we have to sort in our online lives, I don't agree with some of its other premises about either the problems of distraction or online sociality's destruction of real sociality.
