James makes me feel like less of a freak geek with this entry today about browsing habits of the general public:
“Which goes to prove that people will interrupt what they’re doing and invoke the all-seeing Google when they come across something that piques their interest. Either the PC is always-on in the background or it’s not an hindrance to boot it up. The sit back and sit forward media can and do complement each other. And the transition can happen in a flash.”
I’ll be honest, I have been ridiculed before for having my laptop beside me when watching a film. But it’s because I like to be able to look up the actors if I recognise them or just query any bit of data that comes along through the traditional media. I dont see it as wrong and the only way it could be better is if every TV had a Nintendo-DS-type screen thing going on.
Yay, I’m normal!!!!

You call *that* normal? 😉
You should see the freaks I work with!
