The internet has taken over. I seem to spend too much time on it.

HEY Internet has become part and parcel of our lives.It has both good and bad effects. It has many advantages-we can chat with ou familt ,friends and find a real true friend. We can shop,pay biils,on-line education,it has changed the entire life style of a person.It also has bad effects too. It depends on how we use it.Every thing has both sides.We have to take the good and discard the bad. bye!!!!!!!!

You and me both! I am always on the internet, I used to be an avid book reader I always had my head in a book, novels mostly, now my reading time is taken up by the internet and many others things I used to do. I am trying to read more again but it can be addictive, and it's like going cold turkey when you don't have the internet. I went from July to October last year without it, in the end I went to the library to grab precious time on it, so I must be an addict! It's all about managing your time effectively and I try and do all the jobs offline that need to be done before relaxing on the internet, I view it as a hobby, and I don't go out much so it's my lifeline to the outside world, so for me it's a way of communication and making friends.

I do that too, I don't have time to watch television or to be on the phone. Most of my time when I am not working I am spending it to use the internet of most everything in my daily needs. I do shop online and pay my bills online and chatting with my family and friends through the internet, it's like I am relying most things through the internet now, I found it easier and fun this way! So, I don't think it's bad maybe it depends on how you are using the internet it can be bad too.
