Is the internet a good or a bad thing?

[Malcolm Everett]

I love the internet, in my opinion its one of the greatest ever inventions, it is so useful, you can do everything on it from shopping, banking, emailing, watch/listen to music, find out information, job searching, write on forums like this, betting, etc, etc. But do you ever feel you spend too much time behind your computer instead of living life?
You never get any good memories from going on the internet, I think a lot of people will admit to wasting a lot of time on the internet. I mean its friday evening and we're behind our computers. So as much as its good isn't it making us lazy and waste our time?

I do worry about my kid's some time's, how long they spend on it.
But is it just a case of everything moving on, (For the better ??).
I have had some good fun & laughs on these forum's, but I still go out socialising.
I think it's a case of move with the time's it will only get faster.

Well for me the internet is a relatively new experience, but i enjoy it most of the time.


But i can't help noticing there are quite a few oddballs use it.

It's like alcohol, something that is amazing but has the potential to be misused.

The internet is both good and bad in my opinion. It's an entire library of information, a way of communicating with people all round the world, a form of entertainment with every film or song ever made available for free.

But it's almost impossible to police so makes it easier for the not rights to be not right.

And Dave should know, he hasn't left the internet since 2004.

You're one of the not rights I was talking about Natasha.

[Big_Sharps]

Good thing, go Interweb!

[Natasha Whittam]

You're one of the not rights I was talking about Natasha.

I am 50% of the reason people use the internet. The other 50% is porn.

[Heavy Fuel]

So you're 100% why people use the internet then Natasha?
