"A real person, a lot like you" is food for thought in an Internet age

(CBS) - We live in an Internet age that enables us to do so many things that were never possible before. But it also adds a variety of new problems and situations that can occur. The above video is an excerpt from the book "Anything You Want" by Derek Sivers and a great reminder to everyone about one such issue that can happen far too often.

There does seem to be a disconnect in terms of behavior when an actual physical person isn't right there with you or on the phone with you...

In unrelated news, we do actually read all of the comments that are posted on The Feed to try and improve the content and address any problems. Though we usually just skim them looking for posts about how awesome we are. (Kidding.) Did something amuse/interest/infuriate you? Let us know! Did we get something wrong? Call us out on our grammar! But are you going to write something just to be a dehumanizing jerk? Well, then you're a jerk. 

Remember, at the end of every computer is a person.
