Based on the articles we read, the network is a substitute for:

Newspapers, television news, libraries, telephone directories,
doctors, lawyers, teachers, human companionship, magazines,
and of course, work.  I think that there should be a weather
newsgroup, only it should be for local weather.  That way
we could tell what the weather was like during the days we spent
indoors reading news.  This could include special postings at
nightfall and daybreak.  The human body needs to know this for
its daily cycles.

If you think it's bad now, wait a week for all the new college students
to arrive.
