  • The internet is a creepy, unnatural, unbelievable, addictive, distracting, time consuming, useful, unhealthy, entertaining and amazing tool to avoid real life and it's probably the beginning of the end of man kind or maybe not?

    Lol..... probably why it leaves me so ambivalent. It's all those things and no doubt more. Thanks for the answer!

    Like all books ever written rolled into one, with lots of pictures, some real and some even move.

    'It's just a tool that people can use or abuse as they see fit, dependent upon their intellect and sense.'  That's about how it is in my view... it's just a tool we make of it what we want to.. if we let it rule us or harm us then it can, if we don't let it it wont.. We can use it for good or the opposite.. it's ALL down to us!

    It's a tool and it attracts tools. Like a certain "seasoning" that seems to love arguing with you.   ;-)

    And the place where people who follow arguments about religion die of boredom.
