Here I am, at the end of the world...well, nearing the end of the Google+ world, anyway. Perhaps, instead of looking for the Next Newest Thing, it's time to look back at a slower, calmer way of interacting online, the way I remember things before the start of modern social media with its relentless feed constantly drawing our attention with bells and buzzers and infinitely scrolling results.

Perhaps it's time to contemplate, to consider, to think about our words again.

Perhaps.

Well, let's see, shall we?
