opening day

welcome to the first post, as these consciousness streams seem to be called on our wide world of web.
i find that capitalization is unnecessary in general sentences. sure, names of people and places should be visually distinguished from the rest of the word herd, but i would rather avoid the extra effort required by the shift key. yes, i am aware that many pieces of software will automatically capitalize the first letter of a new sentence. i would rather that software not control my words. even for those people so sheltered from the media that you have not seen james cameron's directorial debut, realize that computers control traffic lights, airplanes, and how many tv dinners are churned out of a factory each day. most people can't remember more than a few phone numbers because they rely on their mobile device, and even i admit to avoiding phonebooks. a real science program is named "skynet" and if an emp was detonated in a major city, chaos would immediately ensue. just saying. let's ween from the teat of the transistor. but i digress.
if you are concerned about discerning between the end of one subject/predicate sandwich and the beginning of another - besides utilizing syntax and context - punctuation can do the job quite well. see? this sentence is over now. feast you ocular nerves on the wonderful invention of homo sapiens - the lowly period. complexity buried in the simplicity. this dot has the power to end a thought, but string three of them together and you get something completely different. the ellipsis can even take the place for entire thoughts.
earth. what a great place.
