dear life 71

dear life,
yesterday as i was preparing a translation on the new google china web site and its censorship issues, i thought to myself, just a hundred years ago there was no google, and today we wonder how we can live even one day by without the search engine in existence. then as i checked my email, i found one threatening of yahoo mail shutting down for those who don't forward the particular mail - probaby nothing but a spam - but i thought what if one day we open our email account and found it blocked, erased, just gone. how much of our identity would we lose forever and ever, and we have no way of protecting ourselves against that. we may even consider the day yahoo and hotmail email accounts disappear for good as one of the greatest catastrophic days of the modern world of technology, don't you think so?
