Hehehe..at last, I got Internet in my home...
That may sound ridiculous...but so what?
It’s a cable modem Internet...what means I got 24h straight of it...should I become that sassy tinytim of yesterday? HAHAHAHAA...
I also got cable TV, and they’re broadcasting the making of X-Men2 in AXN channel...
It’s stupid but just wanted you to know...didn’t even notice that I am in the Roxette forum, not the off-topic one...(swallows hard...)

But...one thing must be said for sure...I guess that the information technology (Internet, cable TV and such) make people even more stressed and away from each one...I mean, make people cold...I don’t like it that much, it’s funny, but turns people’s mind way too passive...you got to have limits...

No way!!! The internet brings people a lot closer. I have met serveral people on the internet with whom I keep in touch personally. With the help of the internet, it’s a lot easier to make new friendships and find people who think the same way you do and like the the same things you like. There are several group of people I’ve first contacted on the internet, but we meet regularly personally. May they be Roxette fans, listeners of a specific radio station, members of the same online community - I’ve all met them first online, and we keep in touch a lot offline. Not to mention that I’ve met my girlfriend online, and now we’re living together :-)
Anyway, whoever said that the internet makes people lonely and cold definitely has never used it before.

I suppose Internet both connect people and take them away from each one... “cold”.

I think it’s the way you use it. Anything badly used turns out to be wrong. Information society has brought the best things in life for many people, while some others can not handle it, and it becomes a big problem.
But that has nothing to do with the media. There are addictions to many things, not just to the media. And they can be as harmful as the addiction to the internet or even more. There are people addicted to chemicals, sex, playing, shopping, stealing, going to the church... so what?
Do you think that someone who goes every day to the church and lives “in the fear of God” is not as stressed as any person that becomes cold cuz of the i-net?
Do you think that someone that spends all his/her money in shopping has a pleasant life?
It’s about the use you make of it, you choose if it makes you cold or... :D ... warm :p

internet is my world. I thought that I’ll be more individual when I addict to it, but I even more “sociable” because, I have MANY friends from this cyber space.

Adict is the word... I get home pop the puter on and go do something else, then come back and be like O_o?! Because it’s such a habit I don’t realize Idoit!
Or the NEED to check your e-mail every chance you get... *smile*

I have internet at home and at work.
At home via the telephone, so that is not so fast and I have to keep an eye on the costs.
At work a very fast connection.
I use the connection at work only for work.
The connection at home is used mainly for private things, but sometimes also for my work.
