Editors' note: We received a partially legible diary regard ing one individual's struggle into the information age. We've included those passages that were legible (many appeared stained by water-we believe tears to be the cause) and coherent (in some places it does babble on a bit). The diary was handwritten (gasp) on unlined paper. We expect only the worst has befallen this poor misguided individual-just another casualty statistic on the informa tion superhighway.
