Computers and internet connection it is normal to have but 25 years ago it was really no to imagine that you will be allow to shopping, pay bills, wirte to someone in real time, play games, upload and send your music or photos, watch movies, listen to radio, read a book, share your ideas, call, sell your house, your shoes, buy a car, buy tootbrush, work, make extra money, send flowers, learn, have your own shop, send sms, even make friends and see each other via webcam - and all this without going out your house, without use a pen, without any toys, without a radio, without paper, without stamps, without telephone and all via your pc and internet. So many things done through one so powerful machine and all this faster and easier but is this BIG influence really good to us?.To save our time, we pay our bill via internet, we shop via internet, we sell and buy via internet, we send letters to our friends via internet or even better we talk to them in no time delay, we don't need to go flower shop to make some order to delivery the flowers to someone and maybe the shop will be closed so we just click one or two times and thats it. So we save so muuuch time but we hear still that people has sooo less time to get they things done. Look just at people 25 years ago? .They had "more time" and none of this what we have today. They could make some time to play, to go out to buy something, time to relax, time to work and they were happy as well ... or I say wrong? People were more social because they had to. Look at people this days, people don't see each other, well via webcam as well, we click one or two times and our shopping list is in no times delivered at home, but we still sooo busy, isn't it? The worst in all of this is that still more people make more friends via internet than in real life. Of course there is nothing wrong with make friends on net because it can be a really good experience but don't you think that especially the NEW, YOUNG genaration just abuse internet to make their social life? .I heard a lot of kids that have some boyfriends and girlfriends and they never met before, yet ... some adults too. Well, I heard that a lot of people have "s.e.x" on net???!!! Is it because of we are SOO BUSY, so lazy or what ... what do you think about the influence of internet on our life?

It has allowed me to be on it more than usual. This is what I hate sometimes.. I also have found many sites where you can make money at as well.

You mean you addicted to internet? and you hate it sometimes because it takes a lot of time? kind a time killer? Yes internet is a great opportunity to make money without "running" and just relaxing in your chair. That's great of it. :)
