I use my computer for everything. Pay bills, do research, download porn, make reservations for my honeymoon, apply for a job, play UT2004, read news and listen to internet radio (which is very cool). Has anybody else found themselves having to rely on the internet and your computer for everyday life? I am not addicted I just love to be able to do everything on-line without having to take time to drive everywhere and use up the $2.05 per gallon of gas that I have to pay for.

I feel the same way, take away my computer and I'd probably wither up and die.

I think the internet will be as common as learning math, reading, and writing. I think in the future, everybody will have to use the net to do little everyday jobs. The down-fall is the internet will destroy small business like the used book store on the corner or the local computer store that is two doors down. I think business will be run from the internet 100%.

It is funny how much we do on our PCs without actualy realising it. I had to move house a few months back, and did Not have an internet connection for 6 weeks. It was only then that i realised i do alot of everyday live things on the pc/Internet. I take it for granted that i see can check my email and my back account at a push of a button. I also buy my plane tickets and pc parts on the net along with alot of other things.

Long live the internet.
