[MargaretR]

The internet is good or bad according to how it is used.
I use it to broaden my knowledge and to internet shop to maintain my independant living.

Those who use it for porn and twittering are wasting the opportunity for gaining knowledge. Although social networking proved useful for the arab spring revolutionaries.

I do spend a large amount of time webbrowsing but I am incapable of going out much.
The web is a better form of amusement and learning than the controlled info to be seen on TV. Subliminal messaging is on TV - any advertising man knows that!
