And....... I'm an Internetolic

Thanks to my job i'm on it most of the day.......... and then i rush home to get back on it.....

While it's an incredible source of information and misinformation, educational and yet capable of misleading, a cheap form of communication and even socialising...... i believe that it makes us lazy and to a certain extent unsociable - this is still taking into account making friendships (if that's what they are) via the internet.
At the same time..... for those people that are incapacitated, socially or geographically challenged....... it's an incredible world........ i just hope i don't end up living here :)

There is a program/game Second Life that allows you to do just that....... have a second life online.......
How long will it be before we can become human peripherals and live online via usb? ;)

Bit scary..... but it's a Brave New World.

The Internet is a double edged sword.......... no more no less.

While i was a little humorous in my posts, i also hinted at the disasterous effects it can have on an individual....... well at least i mean to :erm:

Can i say that if i was lived with a partner......... i wouldn't be here right now........ unless he was with me.......therefore my home life would be very different but i work from home too, so i multitask :)
