Re: substance over style (none / 0)

That actually has become less true for me lately. Obviously it's entirely subjective cause it's just the people I happen to run into, but when I moved from an upper-middle-class, mostly white area (where you're right, an internet-aged kid made a big difference) to a more lower-middle-to-lower class community, while internet access is often helped along by having someone come of age around it (as much because schools require it now as anything) they still aren't huge on using the net for day-to-day functioning, entertainment, or for long stretches of time. The net (perhaps cause it's still relatively new), is an incidental tool to a large extent, not the lifeblood that it's become for many who have had it longer and have integrated it into everyday life. Again, this would suggest that as the internet expands and evolves, it will become more widely used and thus more class issues will arise.
