The point is that we are all jejemons in our own small, helpless ways. Who among us can claim to never have typed even once “TNX” on our cellphone? Who among us have never resorted to Microsoft Spellcheck to save us from utter shame when attempting to spell “propitious?”

Before we cast aspersions on spelling and grammar of jejemons, we must first examine the infallibility of our own. That goes for both command of language and tastes in culture.

But wait—what if it’s not really the language we’re talking about? What if the jejemon is just a jolog armed with a cellphone or a PC? What if what we’re really sneering about is their lifestyle—their tastes in music, clothes, food, movies, television shows, reading materials, etc?

But sorry. That’s just pure elitism.

Lourd, you hit it right there. On the spot. I like your music and your commentary on this phenomenon has earned a lot of people's respect.

Elitism is a disease and if we can't cure it (or even just prevent it) we will be stuck in the "Spanish-era class system," as we are now.

Sony, the largest manufacturer of the 3.5" storage devices, have announced they will stop making them in March next year - 30 years after they started selling them.

They made the decision after domestic disk sales in Japan crashed from 47million in 2002 to 12 million in 2009. Sony had already withdrawn them from many international markets.

First launched by IBM in 1971, floppy disks were an unwieldy eight inches across and could only hold 80KB of information - a tiny fraction of one megabyte.

I loved these things back in high school.
