How important is internet in your life?

The internet doesn't love me the way that I love her!

Then you deserve better! You're worth it.

I don't watch tv, so I've found the Internet important to see what's going on in the world. I try to find unbiased paves to get information. This is harder than one might think. Seems everyone has an agenda. I also use it alot to keep up on my field of work.

I cant imagine that what will be my life without internet, it is my life

I get a little panicky when the internet goes down in my house. A lot of stuff I do during the day is online. My brother and I joked that if we could not find wifi we would resort to dial up because we are so addicted to the internet.

You know you're dependent upon Internet when you resort to dial-up!!

HA HA, just messing with you.

LOL I think it's more like an addiction I mean OMG what will I do if I cannot update the world about what book I am currently reading or see my H.S. acquaintances 1000 picture of their tiny new baby?

Tell me about it! I seriously can't get by without internet. On top of those things, I use it as a resource. Like, what hours is someplace open? What is the definition of a word? (Heaven help me if I should have to open a dictionary!!)

Makes me wonder how we ever did anything without the internet. I was a teenager when the internet became a big deal... uh oh... My age is showing.

Oh, goodness. I was in college when we started using it. And at that time, it was nascent--AOL, chat rooms, huge box computers (no tablets), etc. I guess I'm older than you are! But yeah, seriously, how did we survive before Internet??

One thing that has benefitted me is book reviews. When I was a teenager, if I read a self-help book or a New Age book that made me feel inadequate, there was no recourse but to believe the author knew more than I did. Now, we have multiple book reviews available on the Internet, which fosters critical thinking about these things and helps us find community when a book is hurtful.

That is a great way to look at it. I know I have read books that have left me feeling bad or were just not that great. It is wonderful to have a community to talk about those type of books or just books in general. I have also found a lot of new books through GoodReads as well as on these forums.

I could live without it for at least 2 or 3 days.
