desk, filing cabinet, telephone, television, shopping mall, fax machine, post office, bank, checkbook, publisher, printer, travel agent, travel guide, library, research department, newspaper, magazine stand, bookstore, investment guide, networking forum, employment agency, graphic artist, photo gallery, radio, stereo, music store, music library, yellow pages, address book, calendar, appointment planner, diary, typewriter, audio recorder, video camera, classroom, textbook, political voice, voting booth, opinion outlet, discussion forum, community meeting, weatherman, and probably lots more that i haven't thought of...

amazing, ain't it...?
