You used to be branded a recluse if you were a techno-geek.
Now it appears the tables have turned.
Last weekend Google-lovers in the Bergerhausen area of Essen, Western Germany, apparently egged houses whose owners had opted to blur them out on Google's well-loved Street View.
Not satisfied with a good old-fashioned egging, the vandals taped 'Google's cool' notes to their mailboxes.
Yes Google's cool, but is criminal damage on Google's behalf really that cool? Really? Nothing more imaginative going on up there? Nothing better with which to ocupy your time? I'm already shuddering at the possible IQ of the perpetrators.
Google was quick to "distance itself completely" from the craziness saying of those who chose the blur: "we respect their wishes".
It's quite some world when you can't even choose anonymity for fear of being targeted as a kill-joy.
My other-half remains free of even Facebook. I know this is a serious slur on new-age humanity but each to their own, no? In years to come my Grandchildren will probably disown their wayward Gran for her online idiocy, while Granddad takes the limelight of their affections. The rough with the smooth, you see...
