What Happened When I Went Completely Offline For A Week

What Happened When I Went Completely Offline For A Week: "Any day now, some biologist will declare that the DNA of the average 21st-century person is organized not into chromosomes, but into IP addresses.
I, for one, won’t be shocked by any such announcement, because that’s the extent to which computers and the Internet seem to have taken over everyday living. Our lives now stand divided into two categories: online and offline. That we need a separate label to describe life without a computer/computer network is quite telling."

Samsung 85-inch Bendable LED TV - Flat-panel TVs - CNET Reviews

Samsung 85-inch Bendable LED TV - Flat-panel TVs - CNET Reviews: "Your perceptions of TV are about to get bent.

Vizio RS120 - Flat-panel TVs - CNET Reviews
