I Love The Intenet!

I was raised in a time when computers were not all the norm. In fact, they did not have one in the school at all. Now I find that I depend on the computer for so many things. I love the internet. I make money on the internet to help pay the bills. I order my meds on the internet. I research medical problems and medication as well as other things on the internet. I love the intenet and cannot imagine life without it. Do you depend on the intenet to make your life easier? Do you pay bills online? Do you research stuff online?

I love the Internet too!! I can't imagine being without it anymore. I was married and had kids before the Internet is what it is today. I will tell you that I do research, pay bills, look up recipes, articles, read the news, do my Christmas shopping, and so much more on there. It is such a wonderful invention it is hard to imagine how we did things before it was around. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I am like you, I can't imagine my life without the internet. I know that there was a time when I didn't have it and at that time it wasn't so bad because I didn't have it so there was nothing to miss. But now that I have had the internet for so long I just can't be without it. I pay my bills online, search online, make money online, and make friends online.

I too was raised in a time where no one had computers and now I can't imagine trying to get through a day without internet access. I pay bills online, check my bank account, earn extra money online, communicate with friends and family online, research stuff online. I also design and maintain my own website. I shop online. I can imagine life without it, but I wouldn't like it at all. If my internet access is down for a day or two, I totally feel like I'm going to flip!!!

I was raised in the time before there were computers in schools, but I love them, my life is so much easier with a computer, since I can write without having to type manuscripts on typewriters and stuff. I pay my bills over the internet which is great because I am disabled, I get paid for my writing on the internet, I can reach out to the world and make all kinds of friends, I play scrabble, who can ask for anything more.

I love the internet too, its my window to the world. I have so much fun with my computer, I had no idea what I had been missing until i got one. I can do almost anything with the computer and the internet. I make mone, pay bills, make friends, keep in touch with people, look things up, learn things all he time. I can go on and on, but you understand. BTW did you get the message from Slickcut about Donna, (kitchenwitchtupper), she has been sick and having test done, thats why she hasn't been on mylot for awhile. She gave the message to Slick and mentioned you and I specially about letting us know.

I love the internet so much, that I recently added an iPhone to my iPod. That is to say, I still use the iPod for music etc, and the iPhone is a much smaller capacity, but I like knowing I have an internet access anywhere I go. This is important for me, incase I get lost. My new phone has a map and a compass. I feel that Ican be a lot more independent with the internet around, because the "help" I am getting is not from some person who gets an ego boost thinking I need them. LOL OK the people in my life are important too, but they are there because I LOVE THEM!!! I could "live" just fine without them, but they enrich my life because they are there, not because they can do things for me.

I love the internet. I can do research on it. I use the dictionary sites, and I do not have to reach for my reading glasses to read the small print. I do not have to go out in the snow in the middle of winter or even to the Mall, Walmart or the other stores and find that the dvd or book I want is no longer available. I can order it from Amazon. I can find so much on the internet that would take hours walking or taking the bus or the car. I make money and I am able to check my credit card and bank balance. The internet rocks!

Yo are right we depend on the internet for all kinds of things, research topics, online banking, research medical problems, medicine, play games, send email, and birthday cards and holiday cards, chat with friends. I wonder how we done without it all those years. At first computers was out of my reach as they was so expensive but I managed to get one and now I am on about my 4th one, I been online since 1997 and I love it.

I do everything online actually. Somebody asks me "What do you want from Wendy's" (or some other restaurant), so I just go to their website and look at the menu.

mostly i research of information that i don't know and i want to know. also i like to order things online cuz sometime is cheaper. however i don't really like the waiting time on the online order. another thing that i like about the internet is to download my animations. well, i guess the internet does make my life easier cuz when i lost my internet, i was very sad and i didn't know what to do with the extra time that i had.

I earn my living online and my education online. I am 33 years old so that makes me a member of the first computer generation. However many in my generation did not jump aboard so quickly as i did in my youth. I have almost completed my AA degree in information technology with the University of Phoenix online so I must admit that I love the internet too.

So glad to respond to you once again, hoping I can stick around and it pays well too. I do make some money online and then also pay online. Wishing more folks took Paypal since I make most of my money and it goes there if not to my mailbox through snail mail. I am slowly earning more each year and it would be great to count Mylot in that total like I used to. We shall see. I would miss the internet however I do not let it run my life. I do check various church websites and find them very helpful. Balance in all things I say and so time in the real world is precious to me as well. Great discussion and I shall certainly check out what others think. Will be neat to know.
