It may not last long. Some of us whose art once involved sitting in front of a television are answering a higher calling by riding the Internet. The Internet, as most primates now know, is really the hot new way to do everything. The decision by Associated Press to distribute stories over the Net has made it the hot new way to get news. NBC Desktop is the hot new way to get financial information. Cyberbrothel experiments involving Brandy's Babes and NetMate (also called ScrewU-ScrewMe, thanks to CU-SeeMe two-way software) have made it the hot new way to have sex and have ensured that at least some of us will greet the new millennium by masturbating. (Oh, all right, there's no point in denying it -- all of us will greet the millennium by masturbating.)
