Bridging the Internet and Reality
I like to think of ways to bridge the gap between the Internet and people's physical reality.

I want to suspend the disbelief of the internet's reality. Most people access the internet through screens they look at for many hours a day after which they leave their rooms or offices and have little interaction or contact with the internet away from their computers with the exception of seeing URL's on company and product advertisements.
The other night I was on a train, and I wrote a couple of poems about the train trip and the people on it. I signed the poem with my email address, and left it on the train. Another thread between reality and the Internet.
A thought I had that would be fun would be to invent a Web page that gave instructions for someone to go to a certain place at a certain time where they would meet someone that gave them instructions to follow. The page would be 100% accurate in describing what would happen to the person who read it and followed the instructions, because the writer of the page would be the person the reader met! Hmmm. Suspend that disbelief.

During sex with your partner, imagine calling out their email address at the point of climax. To remind them of the internet at such a moment would definitely be a defining experience. Make sure you call out their address and not someone else's though.
