No. A cyberspace meeting wouldn't work. : )
Believe it or not, Internet proscratination is a big problem w/grad students/professors. So much of our work is done online that it is easy to 'slip' and wind up on FR instead of that academic journal you logged on to read.
Plus, w/always on broadband, even if you aren't working online, that evil Internet is just a click away. There are whole threads on academic message boards devoted to how not to waste time online. I probably would have finished my dissertation proposal a month earlier if it hadn't been for FR!
That's hilarious, radiohead!
By the way, congratulations for being Phinally Done . . . Fantastic accomplishment!
I'm so glad I finished my college education way before the internet was invented! As you say, the temptation is alway there to go to some interesting place like FR instead of, for instance, The Journal of Analytical Chemistry.
In defense of the internet you can learn so much. I hate to call it wasting time, but there are times when I'll do a saerch on something, and before I know it, I've done dozens of other searches and ideas crop up and time passes. :( I don't like to call it wasting time, when you are learning things. I guess time management would be better! :)
