It's odd how all of our newly discovered media quickly become conduits for one way conversations: radio, television, film. Talk radio is not about dialog but, as JP Sartre would probably dub it, INAUTHENTIC dialog.
Email is no longer a communication device but is rapidly becoming a one way advertising conduit. Snail mail has long been 100 advertisements for one personal letter from a friend.
Even the telephone is pulled in this direction by text messaging, recorded telephone messages, robotic help and quasi-human advertising pitches.
I suppose I could always return to Craigslist discussion forums.
Or just go to my local coffee shop and talk to people. The trouble is, I forgot how to drink coffee. But it looks pretty easy. I think could learn how to do that again.
