      to me it's too much. we are spending our lives online in a world that can be valuable, but most of the time is not. it is so hard to balance time online with time doing other productive things. So much of our lives requires us to be on the computer, ugh.
  •  
    I'm as interested by the host site for this graphic (visualeconomics.com) as I am the information it reveals about how we spend time online.
  •  
    So, this begs the question... are we spending too much time on the Internet, too little? Or are we using our time online poorly or wisely? (We - personally, nationally, globally).

      I actually agree that some things, maybe even more things, should be free. But not as a marketing ploy. And this system seems to go against our capitalist ideals of competition.

Dear Internet: It's No Longer OK to Not Know How Congress Works - 1 views

  • the federal government is not attached to Moore's Law
  • Here's an area for both some disruption and some lobbying. Let's build tools that allow members of Congress to aggregate messages being sent to them, and to associate those messages with congressional districts. Let's come up with a way for a member to see what their constituency is saying about any particular issue they'd like, and let's provide that as an open service so that anybody can see what a particular constituency is saying. That way, when a member has a track record of voting against the desires of a substantial portion of his or her district, we've got a record of it, and it can get brought up in the next election.
