Everyone of us and almost all people in this world cant live nowadays without internet but what does it really do to our life? For me it do a lot of good things because whenever I want to find something I just go into the net and do research. It become my first priority too in the morning. Soon as I finish making the coffee first thing I do is to check my mail and check mylot. In some way it do so much good thing for me but it become a destruction for me too. Sometimes i cant concentrate what I am doing specially some household and internet often make me forgot appointment and commitments. Though I would say I rather forgot things than live without internet because I dont know if I can bear it, probably not. What about you what does internet stand in your life? how important it is for you to have access to internet most of the time? Have you ever tried to spend days and weeks without internet? Thanks Myloters and happy myloting

INTERNET actually becomes essential to everyone right now (most especially for businessmen, professionals, students, young and old, any gender) this is brought about by the fast phase and technology-based lifestyle now. i am a nursing student and i used the internet o lot for my schoolwork - researches and references for my projects and assignments - however, with the proliferation and expansion of different social networking sites now such as friendster, facebook, twitter, plurk, youtube, multiply and such my student life at the moment is definitely suffering. when you get addicted to such networking accounts especially us the young or young adult it will really ruin our focus on our studies. i don't know how but it's as if we're hypnotize into it and somehow we can't just turn our back, and we keep coming back to check on our accounts and tend to our different activities using those sites. i can say that internet do helps yes, it makes our life easier (we can also do our shopping online, can you believe it? and communicate to other people around the globe in just a minute, hassle-free) but it has its drawback as well. so we just have to keep an eye on our usage of the net and keep it moderate. :)

Hi Unah, a lot of school use the internet as well to distribute like assignment instead of printing pages and pages of assignment. My sister is studying nursing to and often instead of having printed material there teacher set up a website where every student have access and they can find there assignment in there and download it and once finish post it back to the site. Its really cool because aside from the fact that its convenient it helps also to minimize use of paper, electricity etc. But like you said it doesn't do us 100% good. I notice too that its really a big destruction to other things we have to do in our life that need 100% focus. I have to many things to do for my business like planning and thinking and other things but I cant help myself visiting the net everyday and still spending long hours. Its very addictive.

The internet allows me to lookup things instead of having to go to the library. I can communicate with my family through email. If I want I could shop online but have not done yet. I can check for jobs and can earn a little from different websites while on the internet.

Well, a great question. Internet become very important to our life. Im enjoy the internet because it help me in my work as well as to stay connected to other people in my life. I can said that I spend almost 8 to 10 hours for internet a day. However, it does not mean that I cannot spend my day without internet as I still have other more important thing to do. Happy mylotting & have a nice day.

I too enjoy the internet because it helps me to stay connected to the people in my life. Well, stay connected in general which is a good thing. For me a very good thing. I have had to go almost four days without the net once. Funny the net requires power so does my laptop eventually. So when we lost power, I lost the net.

Will I am glad you survive for almost four days without the net. We once lost the net for just about one day and it drives me crazy. It was really terrible.

Internet has become very essential for me, for my work as well as for my personal needs. I am in the international trading business line of work, and that requires a lot of research and information search of developments around the world. I spend many hours a day on the internet with the search engines. Besides, email is the way to communicate for business purposes as well as for personal contacts. I seldom use the snail mail these days.

Hi, eve301345. It has helped me to learn how to use computers much better than I was doing before. I have gained basic knowledge when it comes to many techniques that are offered on the Internet today. It has helped me to find information for many issues that I have. I am able to meet many people from all walks of life. I have earned me some money from the Internet, which is fun. It gives me a peace of mind when I can come to the Internet and type. I come on the Internet daily because I work as far as making money is concerned. I have spent many days and weekends without the Internet. It was rough, but I managed along the way. I can live without it.
