Will there ever be a time when we turn on our computers to check our email, answer our doors, pick up our ringing phones, or open our mailboxes, that we won't be harassed with unwanted media. Even walking down the streets of Midtown Manhattan you can't walk a block without getting a paper advertisement stuck in your face, having a bill-board carrying individual stand in your way when you are running to catch the light on your way to work. I'll admit, one time out of 50 you might actually get something useful that you could be interested in.
Email is the worst form of harassment.
In the midst of your deadline, you receive a string of useless email messages. Advertisements by mail are quickly recognized and can be immediately discarded. Furthermore, you can request the Post Office to remove your name from general mailing lists. The list goes on and on and on. To be quite honest with you, that exasperates me more than anything else.
