Jack and I both own that we love us some internet. I might even own a healthy addiction. I love reading, researching, the social interaction, the videos. LOVE it!
We use it to watch movies, listen to radio stations from around the world, read books, talk to friends, research various subjects, learn to do things, store photos, genealogy, etc.

Do you think you'd have a hard time going without the Net for a year or more?

Do you think the Internet has helped or hurt society?

Do you think the Internet is the greatest thing that has ever happened or a completely fucked up world of jackassery?

Tell me your thoughts and vote in the poll! Choose more than one option if you want!

Amazing? Yes
Fucked up? Yes
Addictive? Yes
Asinine? Yes

Currently, I only get about 5 hours a week on it. Maybe bordering on 5-6 hours in weeks when I have more "free" time.

I used to be on it about 1-3 hours a day but things change.

I use it for reference, my music and for this site. That's basically it.

The internet is a tool and like any tool, it can be used wisely or unwisely. I think that the online craze is at the point of really irritating me, so I know that I am officially in training to become a fully realized curmudgeon at this point. That's good to know, so the internet and it's fallout has been educational that way.
