Has the Internet changed you as a person?

I dont think that the internet has really changed me as a person. i think it may change how much information I come into contact with. It is so easy to access almost anything on the internet you are interested in. Nothing is perfect including the internet, so you have to take each new discovery as it comes.

My lifestyle has most definitely changed with the internet. Much of my news I get online. I spend a great deal of time online, and not enough doing other things such as crafting, making jewelry, painting, etc. The internet has become my entertainment, besides too much tv. I would rarely have the tv on before. Now with the internet, I have it on while I am doing my thing online.

It's true that in the past years the Internet has become a major part of my daily life,so it certainly had some influence on my personality,and I think most of it is positive,although sometimes I wonder if I don't spend too much time in front of the computer,which would be a negative aspect.The fact that nowadays I can easily communicate and share my opinions on life with everyone,a fact which wasn't possible in the past when I had no internet,had certainly a positive influence on me because it encouraged me to express myself and meet people with interests which are close to mine.So for me,the Internet is definitely a positive thing.

there are really good and bad things about the internet. the internet perhaps changed me in some ways. before, i liked more the active physical games such as badminton and volleyball but now, i better choose to stay home and play online games. i also feel that things are more instant and cost effective since i try to shop online instead of walking on a department store in town. i also become more inclined to sending messages on my friends' inbox and chatting with them in facebook rather than texting or calling them on their phones. we also use YM to chat instead of visiting each other at home. less cost, but less physical contact as well. perhaps internet give effects in relating with other people. everything we get in the internet has its pros and cons we need to take into consideration and something we need to think about.

my mind was open to a new things and life as i've never seen before ,we are not alone !

Ever since the Internet,my life changed forever.It enables me to play games with friends the dream,and it gave me a lot to make money,it gives me the information I do not know too much,though and now the Internet is full of a lot of deception,but I believe the Internet is based on myhopes and dreams,has become an indispensable part of my life and gave me a lot of convenience,I love the Internet.

I've never really thought about it. I know the internet has changed the way I live and how I get information. I can say I am somewhat addicted to it sometimes it's hard for me to get off only because for me it's a way to make money and I feel I need to stay on so I can make more money. I can go without it. Last year I didn't have internet at home for about three months. I had to go to the library to use it but I didn't go every day. If the internet disappeared tomorrow I'd just have to find a new way to do things.

The internet has changed my life and who i am because i get all my vital information and resources from the internet and i get phone numbers i need and also get prices for work on the interet. Not sure where i would be without the internet inmy life or be able to use it at work. If i dint have it at work i would be really busy and have no time for anything else at work. I love the internet for being able to use facebook and then use it to make money with my sites i use daily. Love the internet for making me money on a daily basis and without the internet there would be no internet making money sites around at all and life would be hard.

Good day to you Megamatt, With reference to your main topic, internet does not really changed me as a person. Only, it just help me to developed my awareness in opening my knowledge in much wider ideas. As internet scope is so big. It can help you from the point of researching/browsing up to generating your expanded ideas. Thus, this ideas being generated in the internet world might be advantageous and disadvantageous to us. Hence, when we are doing the browsing thru the net, we also should be careful and vigilant so we will not be trapped in the wrong side or on the negative side of the internet.

Wow! What an incredibly deep, and fascinating discussion topic! I am curious, was there something in particular that caused you to consider this? Certainly the presence of anything at all can effect human behavior, and the Internet is not a rare commodity nowadays. Many of us, (myself included), rely on the Internet everyday. For the amont of power given to this worldwide network, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it changed people as a whole. In fact, it would be more shocking if it didn't. I suspect there are professionals in the field of psychology studying these effects.

The internet has changed me for the better. I like to take the time to enlighten myself when I'm curious about something and now have the capability to do so without having to invest time and money on it. I can keep in touch with people via video chats and IMs, Facebook and email. I can compete in online leagues and play games. And these days, I can do a lot of that from my cell phone. It's wonderful. And megamatt, I noticed you said it made you become less trusting of people... I've NEVER been a trusting person. I'm always suspicious of others by nature.
