The internet has had its day

There will soon be a generation who see social networking as a shit thing their parents do. Facebook will be the most embarrassing website in world.


Companies will scale back or remove their web-presence and advertise the fact that they are not associated with the internet so they must be very exclusive and aspirational. (Why would they want any schmuck with a computer to be able to get their product?)
The internet will be used only by machines and devices and will be something that runs in the background with little or no conscious interaction from humans.

People will go back to writing letters (they are very hard to hack) and keeping journals.

Almost everything will be attached to the internet. Already your phone, computer,  TV, console, media player, printer, car, camera, picture frame, watch, fridge, book, toys and glasses can be on line.

I started drinking again

Couple of weeks ago I was out on a date and had a single bottle beer (I was driving), it was a good night and I felt fine, well maybe not fine but OK, about my dryathalon ending on 51 days.

Next night I had 4 or 5 beers with my buddy and didn't feel so great but wasn't too broken about being actually drunk for the first time since 28th December 2013.


I was out on a 2nd date the following week and tanned about 5 beers at a comedy club. I was starting to feel that I was back on the booze but justified it by the fact that I liked this girl and it was for the greater good (that being actual sex). 


This past weekend I went out with a friend for snooker on Thursday, dinner and a movie on Friday (different friend), dinner with my parents on Saturday, a post Half Marathon drink on Sunday and finally a wander around town on my day off yesterday. 


Every day has included a few drinks. Not enough to give me a bad hangover or blackouts but enough to accumulate to a point where today I feel miserable and de-motivated.


Fucking hell. I need to stop drinking AGAIN. At least this time I have a target of 51 days dry to beat.


I forgot how expensive booze was, I've gone through shit loads of money in the last two weeks. I've also had some spots come out on my face. Sheesh.
