I coined a term - e-narcissist.

they can be controlling, blaming, self-absorbed, intolerant of others’ views, unaware of others' needs and of the effects of their behavior on others, and insistent that others see them as they wish to be seen

You know who you are.

I liked this part:

There never has been an engine for instant gratification like the Internet. Our parents thought television killed our attention spans, but hell, with TV you still had to wait for the shows to come on, and they played at their own pace. On the Internet, the videos start when you ing tell them to. If they don't, off to another site. It's like a faucet: you turn the knob and you expect an immediate flow of lolcats.
I still remember when youtube allowed you to click in the middle of a video and it would start streaming from that point rather than starting from the beginning

72 and I have to go and wash my hands after every refresh cause I'm messed up in both the real and the virtual world.
