I was just discussing this very subject with someone last night.... I think internet usage for me waxes and wanes. A couple of years ago i was constantly online either for social reasons or looking up news, video games or just surfing. I think i probably just got burned out and it was for a variety of reasons from it became somewhat boring to a lot of negative energy that i was privy to. New ways to communicate and keep in touch are invented all the time. I do have my smart phone with me constantly and keep up with social media on and off , email, breaking news and weather. I do enjoy face timing with people which is more intimate than say, chat. But, to just sit in front of a computer and surf, it is now less than an hour or so, one or two times per week. It's ironic really. I once considered myself addicted and now i sometimes have to make myself log on just to make sure i'm not missing something. Somehow the fun of it has soured. But then again, tomorrow i could find myself with that need of communicating with the world that only the internet can fulfill. I believe the only thing that is consistent in life is change.
