ETYMOLOGY: From French noösphere, from Greek noos (mind) + sphere. Earliest documented use: 1930.

USAGE:

Ha. This leads credence to this sticker I saw...
the quote said... "The Internet makes you Stupid."


Less time on Facebook may save me from myself. Now to accomplish that. How to pull myself away from the tempting titillation of the noosphere?

I post about my dog. About the sunset. About stuff. Isn't my life's trivialities a riveting topic for everyone else? Oh boy that works for this blog too. How true is that.

Will make a post next about my New Years Resolutions. Will I include Facebooking less? Let's see.


More later.
