    Question of the day.

    What if anything have you found that you couldn't do in daily living from the Internet?

    From paying bills to having groceries delivered to ordering flowers and getting reservations all works.

    What in daily life CAN'T you do from the interweb?

    Remember I am an agoraphobic computer scientist and I have found lots of ways to not get out.

    Boil the kettle, not without some programming and engineering skills anyway. But as it stands today, I do not know a way of doing it without inventing it.

    The internet...Where men are men, Women are men, and the children are the FBI.

    Since I'm nearly 16...I guess there's nothing I can't do (except cook, damn that sh*t's hardcore). I even learnt more from the internet than all these years I went to school. I only repeated this year out of pure lazyness.

    Cooking ain't that hard. Live on your own for a week and you'll soon realise you can do it.

    Erm, I suppose making phone calls should probably count now.

    Missing the point here somewhat.

    Dude is all warm and fuzzy in his tiny apt, tests web software for a living, orders his groceries delivered, cleans and vacuums his digs, cooks and watches the world through his windows.

    Why would he ever have to leave apartment?
    Now imagine a whole building full of these dweebs.

    check the contents of your fridge.

    ive always thought this would be a really handy thing to have. imagine your at the grocery store picking up a few items and you cant remember how much milk or mayo you have. whip out your phone and call your refrigerator which then reports stock levels in real time.

    ninja'd.

    but i get it now....

    get worried dude. This is closer than you think. There is a defined network protocol for appliances. But... Humans have to enter amount used. Now imagine reefers that use scales for shelves and weigh items as you use them. "You gave used 8 of 64 ounces of that milk carton."

    I can't taste because of oral cortical steroid inhalers. Not a problem for me.

    Bit-Tech HQ?

    So if the building is full of these dweebs, maybe take the rubbish out? It's the only reason I can think to leave the building, oh and maybe dispose of the odd dead hooker but that's usually cheaps fault.
