So many memes these days. I think this one, which I found being propagated at I’m not here, is pretty cool. The rules are simple:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open it to page 56.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
- Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

From The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Centuryby Thomas L. Friedman.

We’ve made some strides on this front but until family members can stop relying on the techies in their lives for technical support I think there is a long way to go.
