Agree with your observations.  It's too easy in some ways to access such
power.  The numerous handicapped people attest to the power of this form
of communications.  One thing which disturbs me are all the quotations out of
context: the posting without permissions.  Of this latter, I think this
has to stop, not because of copyright, but because the interaction gives
a better picture in some cases.

But getting back to people.  It is also notable that pictures are not so
desireable to transmit.  This also says something, perhaps, our
reaction to television working with our communications with the phone.
