For years, I used a computer for writing, and it was the best tool I had ever found. It still is.

Then I discovered the internet, and new vistas opened. I could see and explore places I had never been and always wondered about. I could get information on everything I ever was interested in, or wondered about, even other people’s opinions and points of view, and engage in community with them. I could read about how-to’s and hobbies and T.V. shows and entertainment and music videos I hadn’t seen in years, all at my fingertips.

Then, there was the weird stuff: conspiracy theories, hate sites, fetishes, or just highly unusual interests.

I never engaged much in computer games, but that was there, too. As well as current movies, t.v. entertainment, music, news, opinion, or I could work from home or look for work / submit resumes. I could reconnect with people I never thought I’d know about again.

All this information about anything I could ever want to know, did not require hours of fruitless research in libraries and calling Directory Assistance. It was all there in seconds of just typing it in.

After some years of this, I find it all getting kind of hum drum and ordinary. I sit down at my workstation, the best medium I have, and wonder what I want to do.

Has anyone else reached the stage where it is all becoming ordinary and hum-drum and boring?
