The Civil War pitted brother against brother. I'm sure it started over one brother talking smack about the first great art form of the 21st Century. My brother had the audacity to say that blogging doesn't matter...that you could take all the world's blogs, sink them to the bottom of the ocean and no one would notice the difference. Ha! I would notice! But let me say this about my brother...he means well...he is a good father, husband and firefighter. He loves listening to his collection of 8-Track tapes or popping a movie into his Betamax player, but he thinks these things and the Clapper are the very pinnacle of technological innovation. He doesn't realize that the human race has to keep evolving...or it will stagnate. Technology cannot rest until every household has a 42'' HD TV. Yeah, the Clapper is great, but wouldn't it be even cooler if all the lights in your house knew when to turn off and on, without you having to clap? Its all about communication; not every blog is going to change the world...but every blog participates in something that was never possible before...all the people in the world being connected and being able to share the same ideas and the same technology. And that connectivity will surely change the world. Brother, please oh Brother, please don't be the one who sees the first car chugging by and says, 'It will never replace the horse and buggy'.
