    How has the internet changed your life?

    OK, I guess if you left the org because of the internet, that is quite a big change.

    But what about all the other changes, as to shopping, banking and so on.

    What about the fact, you now have not just a photo album, but copies of all your friends photographs as well.

    Not to mention web cams, which I'm thinking of setting up.

    Isn't it a revolution in it's own right?, or would you describe it as just a part of the information revolution. Or the pinacle of the information revoltuion?

    The free exchange of information and the ability to dictate what you want to read / search for (rather than what the broadcaster decides to send to you) is pretty powerful.

    I take for granted that I can search to see what other people think of a product I'm about to but ... not just a reviewer in a magazine (with bias due to advertising budgets, but real people with no strings.

    I like being able ot transfer money without driving into town, paying for car-parking, walking to the bank etc...

    It's been a joy being able to make friends with, and meet, people all round the world. Who could have a problem with that?!

    The only down-side is that it also bring nut-jobs right to your front-door as well, but sod-em ... ignore 'em and concentrate on the good things

    Making wonderful friends from around the world and being able to talk to them in real-time.

    Being able to buy things from the UK or abroad cheaper and easier than in shops.

    Finding out any information I'd ever need in moments.

    Instead of doing stuff like straightening that sock drawer or bathing the cat, I am here. It sort of steals some of my time, I think.

    Do you remember the Yellow Pages commercial "Let your fingers do the walking?" Well, I've covered a few miles with my fingers.

    Yeah, the Internet changed my life a lot: it showed my the truth about the "Troof" and much other information.

    I do a lot of shopping online with comparing prices easily.

    I do a lot of business at eBay.

    There is a lot of entertainment stuff.

    I meet and keep contact with a lot of people.

    And the Internet is part of my job.

    Cannot imagine a life without it anymore.
