Cyberyenta's Old-Fashioned Wisdom for Newfangled Times

by Rachel Levine

Overview

A hilarious old-fashioned Jewish busy-body explains life in the cyber age, including where exactly The Web is and what to do when you "star-69" yourself.

"The best thing about the cyber age is that now we can embarrass ourselves faster and easier than ever," says CyberYenta, social critic and professional busybody of the information age. Laugh along with her as she explains who's to blame for the cyber age anyway, why men invented computers to begin with, why people are willing to pay good money to be interrupted when they are on the phone, and dozens of other crazy things you thought maybe were normal.
