Has Internet made a difference to your lifestyle? Negative, Positive or both ?

It is correct , the only negative is that I spend extra time on the net, sometimes,the positive side is that I can learn a lot on a daily basis.There is so much available here,my thinking is that the net is beneficial to nearly everyone who can use it wisely.

For me it's had a very positive impact in several ways: for example, it's helped me with schoolwork, I've learned a lot of English (since pretty much all the sites I visit are in English), it's made it possible for me to share my art with others and actually get some jobs, I've been able to meet wonderful friends on messageboards or other sites... and well, even the love of my life too :) The only bad thing, I guess, is that I spend a lot of time online instead of... dunno, being outside doing something else, hehe. But I work from home so that's not really too much of a problem, I guess.

Both for me. I spend too much time on the internet than I do doing things that are actually important and real. The internet isn't a necessity, nor is laws or houses or anything else we create; we just try and make it sound okay by saying we can't live without it, and therefore try only to make our own lives easier. Along that note, it is a fun place to make friends that you can't really do as much in real life; people around here judge too much and I don't make friends easily with those who will backstab you the moment something goes their way.

To me, internet really had made a lot of difference to my lifestyle/social life. Actually, I've been addicted to internet since high school and since then, almost all of my friends now were the chatters I've met online. It's very rare that I have friends I haven't met online. And actually, the effects are both positive and negative. I used to have friends and used to have enemies as well. Being addicted to the internet made me so lazy. I also prefer to stay at home than go out with friends.. It lessen my shopping session as well (i can save money) ... but it caused too much eye bags..

Well yes Internet has made a lot of difference in my life style before I used to sleep at 10 but now I stay awake till 1 doing something or the other on the computer and I learn a lot of things from this and I really love visiting different sites ,watching different videos and I get a lot of knowledge about the world..

The internet probably affects most people both ways. Well, for me it does. Positively because when I need to get something out of my mind, I post it on my blog and the strong emotions don't bother that much anymore. When I feel so bored, I could go online, watch a movie or play a game. I could even post my stories, poems and lyrics, too. If writers from years ago used the pen and paper for writing their ideas, I use the internet. Going online also increases my knowledge through the daily updates as well. Likewise, it has also brought negative effects to my lifestyle. Since I've graduated college, I have started becoming a couch potato. I sit in front of my laptop and go online almost all day. I only get out of my seat to eat, bathe and when I have to go out to be somewhere else. My body is taking the toll on my lack of exercise too. Then again, the internet has brought about more of a positive effect to my lifestyle than negative so I'm happy it was invented.

The impart is terrific. I can't move a single step without Internet. Even in my travel plan, I keep time reserved for my facebook friends and website updates. It's the medium to stay connected with the globe - learn about people, places and their myriads of cultural diversity. Obviously, as you have referred to - Internet has also opened up the avenue for me to earn few extra bulks each day. I'm still in the process of learning website promotions and content writing. Hopefully someday I'll be able to contribute something of my own - very original - and meet my dreams.

Yes it has made a difference but in my case for the better 7 years ago I was diagnosed with an Illness that put a stop to me being able to work My Son introduced me to the Internet to this Day I am grateful for that as I would have withered away not being able to work like I have been doing for so many Years I have learned a lot from the Internet I have learned how to make things I have made many Friends who have kept me going so yes the Internet has changed my Life and I guess saved my Sanity

I think internet had helped me positively. Internet had helped me to find some of my old friends through various social networks. Internet had also helped to earn money. I am working as a medical transcriptionist a work through internet. I think internet had created lots of opportunities everywhere in the world.

Hi kiran, yes internet has changed my lifestyle. Internet is now my part of like. The world is now at my fist. I can visit anywhere of the world when ever I wish. I'm interested to read news. There are many online newspapers. I can gather many information from various site. I have many online friends. Some of them are so close to me. Still I could not explore myself in online writing. I remember your encouragement in this regard. Only negative side of internet is it steals time. I can't do many personal work in time because of computer.

For me Internet, is good and never do any bad with my life. Internet is one of the best thing invented on earth and I like so much. Because I do many things and I earn some extra money on it... Have a nice day!

Internet has affected my life in both ways positively and negatively. Positive because i am earning money from it and learning many things from others and negatively becausd now i dont give enough time to my studies which can lower my grades, but i think i will be able tn adjust it as the exams come...

Positive! I connects me to my family and friends. It keeps me occupied and learn many things from it. I believe that how you use it determines the positivity or negativity in your lifestyle.

yes it has very much, in a good way thought. it has helped me become a smarter and more understanding person. because instead of just assuming something i actually see if its true myself.

It's made a positive and negative impact on my life. I met my hubby online & I've met lots of fantastic people online. It's also saved me lots of postage as I no longer mail my bills & can see my debts immediately rather than wait for snail mail. Negative, there's soooo much one can become interested in and enjoy spending too much time doing rather than the things in the real world. Though I think things going mobile with the internet is really making the internet even more so addicting as you can leave your house and still do what you need to do online weather it's more important than whats happening in real life at the moment.

The internet has changed my life qutie a lot for me in the past ten years. It has helped me form relationships, finds jobs, and enhance my qaulity of life. it has changed so many things in my life that it can be hard to belive sometimes. I do not think that there has been anything negitive about it but maybe I an not thinking of that right now.

I'm not really sure. I have made some good friends online, and met a few. It's allowed me to learn, widened some of my horizons as well as allowing me to find some of the collector's items that I have sought. On the other hand, I spend less time with 'real' people, and not as much time as I could use looking after the home and so forth. I spend less time in the local community- but that's because I work unsociable hours. Overall I think that it has been a positive experience.

I would have to say the internet has been both a positive and a negative. Positive, because I am able to contact alot of my friends through many sites online and have been able to search for ways to make money online very quickly. Negative, because when I am online sometimes I get so caught up reading emails, typing, searching, etc; and I almost completely lose my entire day to it.

Tremendous impact! Every time I am away from internet for any reason it feels i am back in stone age, I guess Internet offers so much information and makes my life so easy some times that I wouldn't want to stop having it for any reason.

For me personally, Internet had the same effect has any other technology had. Positive or negative is a perception. For instance, with Internet, using emails, I am in better touch with my friends. Unlike the days before where you either had to telephone the friends, at awkward times or send a conventional mail if they were far away. This has changed. Then again, the very same email is also a head ache at times, receiving gazillions of spam mails. So it how one looks at the life. One positive thing I must say in favour of Internet is that is has opened up a whole new world of knowledge. I remember in my younger days, spending hours and days at length trying to find some information on a odd ball subject at libraries. Many times I was the first in and last out at libraries. Still success rates were minimal. Computers and Internet has changed all that. At the same time I have seen Internet ruining lives. Yes, as harsh as ruining ones life. Addiction to social forums, chatting, gaming has disturbed many lives around the world. I personally know a couple of people. One of them lost everything. His wife, his family, the lucrative cash rich shop in a posh New Delhi neighbourhood, his house ... everything. Just because he was hooked on to chats on Internet. After all, like anything else in our lives, it's up to us to allow or not allow adverse effect of anything. We have a choice. Peace be with you.
