Everywhere you turn these days you hear about the information superhighway. It has been a hot topic in all the periodicals that I read (like Home magazine and The Wall Street Journal) and even at a marketing conference I went to in Atlanta recently. In case you haven't heard, the future holds in store some new ideas about using your TV. You can go mall shopping, solve a mystery murder, talk to your friends or play a video game -- all of this and more without leaving the comforts of your own home. All of this is not coming in the next few months, though. Some things are available that provide interactive entertainment now, but the article, "TV for the 21st Century" (pg. 64 in the March issue of Home) suggests that it could even be decades before this is prevalent in our society. There is a great wealth of information out there in the airwaves. Newsweek says in an aritcle (March 28,1994 pg. 39.), "A vast and exciting new world 1 ies virtually at ou r fingertips." I don't take issue with that, but I worry about society as a whole trying to get into this wave of interactive TV. What will the world come to when this does become prevalent? If you want to go to the video mall and buy your new spring wardrobe, you just push some buttons on your TV. If you want to see that movie you've been wai ting for at the video store, you don't have to wait now. You can push some buttons, or AT&T suggests that you will be able to do it by touch, and, poof, there it is. If you want to talk to your friend while you're eating dinner, just get her / him on the phone through your TV. Do you see the common thread here? With all of this information available in our homes, why would we ever leave? When we cannot only go shopping but also do basically anything else from our living room chair, including interacting with our friends, performing our work, "attending" class, where would we have to go? Think about it. If you go to the local bar, you run the risk if you want to drink that you might get a DWI on your way home. If you go anywhere, you run the risk that you may get involved in a wreck, or (especially if you're going to Greenville, SC, or down I- 95 in Florida) of being shot! If we can do our work at home, who wants to deal with rush hour traffic for two hours a day? And if you have children, you don't have to pay for a baby sitter. You let your kids stay home with you while you do your work. There is such prevalent violence in our society that it is scary to go out in certain areas anyway. What causes this violence? I think that one of the main reasons is that we don't know how to interact with one another. If people could learn to tolerate the differences in others, there would be far less crime. How many people are there in your classes that you've never talked to? How many study groups or other types of organizations have you belonged to where all the people could get along for an extended period of time? So, if we become hermits in this new age of the information superhighway, what will be the outcome? What is this going to do to future generations? Will they still go to the malls on Friday nights to hang with their buddies? What will happen to colleges and universities, if they start offering class over the concert net? Students will still have to pay tuition, but they wouldn't have to move to a certain area, pay for room and board or worry about meal plans. They will also not experience working in groups, competing in intramural sports, working at the radio station or the newspaper, and other such activities where we learn to deal with other people. I'm not afraid of technology. I actually think it's exciting and challenging. However, I don't think it should be all-consuming and take t\. our lives. I think the information superhighway is leading a path into overpowering consumption. I just hope there ..are-nodrive -by-shootings!-- -- DANELL MOSES Editor Everson rues losing his snooze Dear Western Carolina Students: I'm not really sure when the majority of students here like going to bed. Ipreferhittingthesackaround 11:00 pm or midnight, especially on the nights before my eight o'clock classes. I sometimes stay up later when I feel like it or when I'm worried over a test that I know I'm going to fail the next day anyway. However, I try to be as quiet as possible so that those around me can sleep if they so desire. My complaint, in short, is the noise level I am experiencing when I'm wanting to be sound asleep in my Leatherwood dorm room. The windows are tightly closed, my door locked and my answering machine on in hopes that I will get very few disturbances. However, some strange things have happened in Cullowhee during the past couple weeks that have affected my sleep. TwoThursdaysago, someone three times my size was running up and down the hall from about 11:00 to 3:30 in the morning chanting: "Nobody's going to stop my mother f a—." I mink the guy was drunk, but I'm not positive, because I didn't stick my head out to look. I unconsciously left my ball bat at home, and state laws prohibit us from carrying fire arms on campus. And to beat it all, when I awoke at abo\rt'7i00 the next mdri-iihg, I found where cheese cracker crumbs had been wedged underneath my door. How strange? This past Thursday, Delta Chi Fraternity, so I art told, were the loud mouths playing the music where it could be heard virtually everywhere on campus until one o'clock in the rriorning. I'm not complaining about the type of music. At least it wasn't Led Zeppelin or Two Live Crew. It would have been better if it was country though, because I might have fallen asleep faster. But the type of music is not really the point. I'm complaining about the principle of the fact... music being played in a frat house about a half mile off campus, in such a manner that you could hear it in Leather- wood dorm with the windows closed after midnight. ParamountCarowindsislook- ing for such enthusiasm to place into their theme park to make tourists' visits more enjoyable. I like such enthusiasm when I'm on Thunder Road or the Frenzoid but not when I'm asleep in hopes that I have a good following day. I would suggest to Delta Chi members to inquire atCarowinds about how they could perform there. But please, student body, I'm asking softly, gently, calmly, courteously and diplomatically, please LET ME GET MY SLEEP! John Everson
