And indeed Internet can be a reliable companion in times of solitude because of its great interactivity as well as in times of boredom because of so much variety available. In my case, Internet hasn't so far killed my real life, but I'm pretty sure of my previous TV watching habitGeorginoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894466057448828481.post-15296188846890424572009-09-22T08:43:46.469+03:002009-09-22T08:43:46.469+03:00btw, harakiri is my next move if i ever hear the w...btw, harakiri is my next move if i ever hear the words "the internet helps us socialize". sure it makes us communicate easier, but god forbid if that's the modern definition of socializing.<br />main reasons: lack of chemistry, interpersonal relations, bodylanguage, etc etc. if you can pull off, say, a marriage, or even a good friendship with your internet-gained social skills, than my friend, you've gone beyond my undersanding on human behaviour.Adinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049967368659686280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894466057448828481.post-19780792086441688962009-09-22T08:40:09.894+03:002009-09-22T08:40:09.894+03:00"Internet makes our life easier.

In other words, comoditate si sedentarism<br />the internet will not dissapear but it will be used a lot less when people will become efficient and realise the purpose of the internet and most of all, when the people will get a life.<br />abusive internet usage underlines several unfulfilled needs most of them social and personal.Adinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049967368659686280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894466057448828481.post-92201868284424506972009-09-22T00:04:15.617+03:002009-09-22T00:04:15.617+03:00Internet makes our life easier.

You can easily be at home, lay comfortable in your bed, dressed however you feel like and just write. You don't even need a pencil. This is mostly why you feel like being ON always. Internet became a habit, and it's not that easy to leave a habit behind. We think only once, then the habit takes control. You've said it yourself "I wake up at 6 and go to bed at 00:00", why don't you wake up at 7:48 ? Because there are habits you need to fulfill. <br />Probably soon but not too soon we will be wired. Always connected. Phone calls will be free and wireless networks will never be out of range. Then, we will only need a chip in our head so we can communicate without to carry a device. Some chemistry and we become robots, why? because it makes life much easier. I'm happy I grew up with real children and I had to have some scratches on my knees to score a goal. Nowadays, goals can be scored only by pressing "D".Eugen Nnoreply@blogger.com
