FEATURES: Virtually democratic
Facebook is the only place you can talk to a wall and not be considered strange. In fact if you’re not on Facebook you’re frequently thought of as not a real human being and God forbid your status does not obtain at least 3 ‘likes’. Twitter, Myspace, Facebook and previously Bebo (RIP) have replaced phone calls and on many occasions actual human contact as human beings move further from the physical world into the virtual. We communicate more, we advertise and we have more opportunities for global fundraising. BY SARAH LAVERTY

FEATURES: Under the covers – why we love book lovers
Recovering cynic though I may be, let me begin by saying that I’m as big-a sucker for a book romance as the next girl. A case in point – I was at a tech rehearsal for a play I was in a few years back, and to while away the time while the long-beard-and-ponytail brigade faffed about with electrical things, I thought I’d finish off North and South, which happened to be on my reading list that week. It was the Good Bit. The bit where the repressed couple-in-waiting finally Get It On (or rather get as close to Getting It On as is possible in a Victorian novel); …her very heart-pulse was arrested by the tone in which Mr. Thornton spoke. His voice was hoarse, and trembling with tender passion, as he said: ‘Margaret!’ BY ZOSIA KUCZYNSKA
