You Don't Put Gas in a Computer

In my political science classes, I talk about ripple effects. One thing changes, and it effects other things, sometimes in ways that aren't apparent at first.

Well, here's a ripple effect appropriate for a MC101 medianote: Rising oil prices are fueling increased use of the Internet. Well, think about it. If it's too expensive to drive someplace, or take a flight to a business conference, why not meet online? anyhow, that's the theory presented in this Yahoo! News story.

One of the best example of this are ads I've heard for Go To Meeting. Go To Meeting allows groups of people to see your presentation on their computers, either across town or across the country. This relieves the need to travel long distances for "a 10 minute meeting."
