"it is enthusiasm .. finding a cool shell on the beach, an unexpected encounter with magic. some people live in this state 24/7, some never experience it.
this early adapter late adapter stuff is just fishbowl talk. an artificial construct. as is the internet trailer trash.

"lol ... If You're A Virtually Materialistic Narcissist ... but the biggest businesses on the net are based on this, or gossip, or sex ... lowest common denominator blogs, like walmart, attract the bucks .. leading edge has little economic value, which says a lot about the value of economics" - gregory lent
