Included in the learning is the improbable friendships.* You and
   I - would we ever have known each other were it not for the
   'net?* Maybe if we both had ham radio licenses and the
   radiowaves happened to skip across the earth and clouds that
   connected our two radios concidentally enough where we could
   hear each other. I know how the technology works, understand its
   history - but none of it takes away from the magic of it for
   me.* I get to look into many mirrors and see different versions
   of me looking back, all unique, all amazing. Because, in the
   end, what if we were all just talking to ourselves?
