I never thought of it this way, but it's true

If I had one to have it would be the net as you can watch tv over it and also talk to friends and family on the im or emails. My house phone is also hooked up to the net

Like most, I would choose the Internet because it is the door to the world, you can email or Skype your loved ones and friends, you can be entertained by reading, watching TV or listen to the radio. The Net covers most ways of keeping in touch. With the Internet you can keep MyLotting too, can’t do better than that!

well, I'm going to say that I would have to have the phone since the place where my mom lives would have to be able to reach me - and that is how they do it I would guess that in spite of the fact that phones now have all those bells and whistles, many people would assume that you aren't talking about those. same goes for the internet - unless you have one of those internet phones, you are only in touch via email/messaging - and those aren't really quite the same Now, I have my internet thru the same provider as my phone and cable, but I can't do it on my TV - so its kind of up in the air. Oh, but I'm one of those old fashioned gals who still have both cell and landline phones - but that's because my family need to be able to reach me when I'm not at home, while my roommates need to be reached when I'm not at home too...

Of course I would choose the internet, all the other things can be done over the net these days.

Hi candy marie: as you have mention internet has everything and that's the reason i'd choose this: you can keep in touch with the persons you love, you can actually chat with them whenever they're online, you can watch and read the news as you do it on your TV and you can make all the funniest things that makes internet the best network these days.

I choose Internet undoubtedly!I can keep in touch with everthing that going in the world!What is important,I like listening to music very very much,so I can listen to the music that I want to listen to!From the internet,I can learn more things important!

Definitely the Internet. I can keep in touch with what is going on in the world, educate myself on interesting subjects, hobbies and of course keep in instant contact with family and friends. Personally I think it is a must for seniors who, like me, are retired and do not have to lose contact with what the world of the Internet has to offer. I know it keeps my brain active.

That is like asking the genie in a lantern for three wishes and mine would always be for three more after that, so of course I would choose the internet because if one really wanted to see tv it can be done online. But seriously I hardly ever watch tv. This is a shame because where I live the tv is free and I have to pay for the internet connect. No matter. The internet is interactive and tv is passive. I do not like passive activities. It is an oxymoron.

...Hi candymarie, If I were on an island, with the choice of my cellphone, a tv or access to the internet through the computer, my choice would have to be the internet access. That would be because of your last sentence, you can do just about everything over the net. You could keep in touch with your family and friends through e-mails, you would have international news, national news and local news to an extent. You could watch tv through streaming, video would be accessible. You would be able to read books, that were on the net, visit museums, art galleries, various overseas countries and cities. You could blog and read other people's blogs. Take classes through universities, obtain medical information if needed. Order groceries, general supplies and other necessities, (delivery might be expensive). Check your bank statements, transfer funds, buy and sell stock. Gamble, play games and busy yourself with whatever else strikes your fancy. The internet has a myriad of outlets which can keep a person involved, if they can take the isolation. There is also the device called the skype, spelling could be incorrect. But you are able to see the person on the net and talk to them with the device. So that sort of covers it all. Take care.

I have to say I also "live under a rock". I moved to my house in a rural area in Bulgaria in April this year. I have no phone lines as they are not available here, I have not subscribed to any tv service either. I do have a cell phone and the internet.I have to say if I could only have one it would be the internet. I use it for skype so can call landlines, I can get all the news and information I want from it (even though I do not check the news at all these days). I can also download any tv show, film or music I want. The internet gives you everything you want in one hit.

A PHONE!!! you can get everything put on your phone nowadays. there's no limit with phones and you can add so much to them! but unfortunately, the bill costs an arm and a leg...

Internet,beacase i can call my friends on internet just like the cellphone, and watching TV ?concerning the current news,so i certainly choose the Internet.
