It can take a while for people to adjust to what are considered good manners with new technologies. When people first start using email they tend to forward every urban legend known to man to their entire address book. Some people still answer their mobile phones in movie theaters (some people should be shot). Can you imagine the etiquette problems time travel would cause? “Look, I know I cut you off on the freeway, but it is totally not cool to go back in time and try to stop me from ever being born!”

I understand it takes time for people to adjust, but I am still hoping my brother Joe learns that it is rude to try to scare me with instant messages.

Look what I have to put up with: Joechat
