...transmit so much information, we do. Because we can access so much information, we do. Because we can sign up for so many tasks, we do. Throw in global competition, job insecurity and all the other fears driving people today and the next thing you know, you get the phenomenon...

However, ever since the show ended a long hiatus and was re-launched in 2003, it has been part of a growing national phenomenon: college-made soap operas.

It's the same phenomenon that breeds pesticide-resistant insects on farms. What's more, since many antibiotics wipe out numerous species of bacteria at once, the drugs inadvertently create a nice, clear field in which those that do survive can thrive...
