WHAT IF THEY HAD THE INTERNET WHILE SHAKESPEARE WAS WRITING?
"To be, or not to be - that is the question - whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous spam or to take arms against a sea of unwanted emails, and by opposing, delete them?" (Hamlet; Act 3, Scene 1) "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, but most are stuck with Windows." (Twelfth Night; Act 3, Scene 4) "All the world's a web, and all the men and women merely users. They have their sign-ons and log-offs, and one man in his time visits many sites." (As You Like It; Act 2, Scene 7) "O happy Firewire plug! This is thy socket; there connect, and let my data transfer." (Romeo and Juliet; Act 5, Scene 3) "He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which enriches him and makes me poor indeed. Therefore shalt thou encrypt all thine passwords." (Othello; Act 3, Scene 3) "What's in a name? That which we call a virus by any other name would still wipe a hard drive." (Romeo and Juliet; Act 2, Scene 2) "Pop-ups die many times before their deaths; an unsaved document but once." (Julius Caesar; Act 2, Scene 2) "The man that hath no music in himself hath not yet learned how to use iTunes." (The Merchant of Venice; Act 5, Scene 1) Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read. |
