People Who Don't Understand How The Internet Works Worry It May Be Running Out Of Space.

Mariana Schindler

Charlotte - Seventy-five year old Mariana Schindler likes to sit on her porch in Tifton, Georgia and use her Macbook, or as she likes to call it,  "the traveling computer". She enjoys the Foxnews.com and loves her online scrabble. But something worries her, her and thousands of other internet users her age.

"How are scientists supposed to load their blogs if the internet is full?" Says Mrs. Schindler. " When it eventually happens, I don't want to be the one saying oh no. I want to be the one saying I told you so."

It was that exact thinking that led Mariana to found CAIO, it's obviously an anagram but Mrs. Schindler asked that I only use the Anagram as to reduce the ammount of intenet taken up by my article. But surely this explanation has drastically undercut that point.

Aaaaanyways, since founding CAIO over 9,000 people have decided to join her cause. The 9,000 members are a diverse group consisting of seniors.

Mariana keeps her followers informed with a monthly newsletter, sent through federal mail, that includes the following tips for reducing their presence online.

o  Delete all e-mails as soon as you read them. Make sure you're inbox is always empty.
o  Avoid google searches with more than four results.
o   No porn. This has nothing to do with taking up space, god is watching.

So, does Mrs. Schindler have a point? No. No she does not. But she'll never understand that. She's never going to wikipedia Internet protocol suite. She doesn't know what wikipedia is, if she did she would be pissed. So in conclusion, let old people think what they want. They'll all be dead soon.
