Personal Web Page as Social Necessity

The Wall Street Journal Home Page

Plenty of people have personal Web pages. But are we reaching the point where you need one?

The answer is still "no" -- but that "no" is no longer quite so firm as it used to be. And sometimes that hesitation is a sign that the wheels of social change are starting to turn -- that "no" will turn into "maybe" and then from there move quickly to "yes" and then finally to "it's weird that you don't." If you're a thirtysomething, you've seen answering machines, voice mail, email addresses and cellphones complete the journey from curiosities to perceived necessities, just as our elders saw the same thing happen with TVs and phones.
