Dartboard is, though, concerned that many people here spend far too long plugged into their computers and not nearly enough time switched on to the world around them. How many students lament that they never get a chance to make the arduous ten minute journey into Boston but spend hours playing Snood, chatting banally on Instant Messenger or searching the Internet for virtual girls when they should out be looking for real dates? E-mail seems as vital to Harvard students’ existence as Vitamin C. Administrators should arrest these worrying trends, not encourage them...

...they go to look for what they're interested in.This is the now familiar lament of old media when it comes to online news. It's the idea that people might actually be able to choose what news they read or watch. Mr. Kohut, Felicity Barringer writes, "also said that viewing news on the Web took away one of the most important elements of news consumption in the old media, which is browsing."
