Now you thought that the Internet is here to enhance your productivity
at work. This is a <em>serious</em> misconception. Sadly, productive work
has to be done so the Internet gets paid for. But the real reason people use
the Internet is that it is just plain <em>fun</em> (and addictive).</p>
<p>To give you an idea of what is out there waiting for you, here are a few
interesting points on the Internet. You can also
<a href=http://metacrawler.cs.washington.edu:8080/index.html>search</a>
for yourself (
<a href=/meta-index.html>more search</a>).
Of course, you can search this page itself
<a href=/cgi-bin/htgrep/file=/Homo_Ludens.html>
by keywords</a>
<p>
Feel free to use a copy of this page for your own server (see
<a href=Homo_Ludens.html#HTML-pages>page recycling</a>). But, <em>please</em>, remove the
following lines (with the response forms, my name, and my address on it) when
you change anything in your copy. <br>
Note that the WWW is a dynamic environment with links and servers changing
from day to day. Please inform us if you notice any incorrect or "dead"

In the days of old, as lore will have it, people would actually transport
<em>themselves</em> to far away places. To do so they used to sit for days
inside cramped cars, busses, trains, and planes.<br>
It might be difficult to believe for the hardened web-surfer but a car- or
plane-crash can actually be more of a nuissance than a hard-disk crash. Over
the years people learned that romance and adventure are all in the mind, so
they finally understood that there is no point in risking your patience and
health in long trips and they stayed tuned to where the the real action is:

As I have a clear interest in this matter (on the scientists side),
I will elaborate on this question. Furthermore, US citizens can
get some remedial teaching on Evolution.<br>
<em>Note that the
<a href=http://earth.ics.uci.edu:8080/faqs/faq-age-of-earth.html>
age of life on earth</a> is the central question,
if life existed for 3 billion + years, evolution is inevitable.
All other arguments are largely periferal.</em>

<h2>Page recycling</h2></a>
You might have thought about how to speed up your web-surfing while you where waiting
again for the n-th time to read your favorite page from the net. Chances are that the only
interesting things on this page were links to other pages. Now what do you do when you
finally get the page? <em>You throw it away</em>. So next time, you have to wait again.
Moreover, others have to wait for <em>you</em> while you are reading it. So everyone grows
old while waiting for pages to get to still other pages, in the mean time clogging the
Internet.<br>
<em>Now wait</em>, you say, <em>I use my hotlist to store all my favorite pages</em>. Then
I read all ten-thousand URL's to get to my target page.<br>
We all know that the hotlist is not really the most convienient way to browse the net. There
is a better way. Your browser can read <em>local</em> pages. So next time, don't throw away
that nice page with all those smashing links, save it (in
<a href=http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/MarkUp.html>HTML</a> format) and read
this saved page when you need the links again. Don't forget to occasionally update your
downloaded pages.
<p>
A small hint: Inline pictures are not saved, neither are links to local pages. You should
preverably download pages with outward links (relative to the host server).<p>
Here are some suggestions:
<ul>

page you are reading now)
