    We managed to survive with conversation and seemed to have a life! if we wanted information then there was a funny thing called a library.

    Wonder if the next generation will think the internet as a dinosaur and how could we possibly be satisfied with it.

  • like everything else it is good and it is bad.. for people such as yourself it has been a godsend..for others an outliet for their isolation and personality disorders which it will only aggravate despite their short term relief....

    MUCH MORE, SOME LESS.

    In my opinion, Internet is great, but like anything else,to be used in moderation, and in co-ordination with other things you are trying to do.

    Source(s): here before and after

    Had better and closer relationships with our families and did more things together and had more face to face conversations. I love my computer but it does make your friends seem further away.
