Is The Internet Becoming Boring? Will Anything Replace It?

Yes if one frequents the same sites day in day out I suppose it can get a bit like a drag. One has so many avenues to explore online that I can't see me being bored from it. Not picky maybe just one of those days where perhaps some things don't seem interesting today.

Nah your not being picky. I would replace the internet with you Janey if I had me way

What?

There are times, when I might get a little bored of being online, but it doesn't really happen very often. I usually don't get tired or bored very often of being online. It's not that easy for me.

There are times I feel like this about the internet. It's just an information overload! And anything and everything is already online. So, there isn't anything surprising or ingenious anymore. Even if you have an idea which you think is unique, you go online and a lot of people has done it already.

I have already been bitten with computer,even though I have aching back and neck if I play it too long.But then,what can I do ,if don't play it? Do I play the Erhu (I mentioned it before)or read all day ?With the lapse of time,computer becomes more and more advanced.Personally I hardly do other thing with it except email ,searching and blog.

I think there are many here who can relate with this one. There are many times when I find myself online, if I am not in the mood to really be posting here in myLot that I find myself BORED and wondering what else there is to do. I mean there are sites like Facebook I can also log into and play some of the games and such there, or other sites, etc. all the time here to check out and Email but sometimes I just wish for something more. Maybe then it's just time to log off away from here and go do something else.

The internet is never boring for me. I always have things to do on here and many places to earn money from which helps alot.

Hi Janey.. I know what you mean. I get odd days of wondering why I bother with the Internet, but then the next day the mood has disappeared. I have blogs and a website and then places like Facebook and e-mails to answers. So with me it is just a transient feeling that comes and goes from time to time. _Derek

Hello, Janey. I don't find the internet boring at all, but then I use it more for research than just passing the time. I write a lot - usually 2 - 4 articles each day, and even if it's a topic I know a lot about, it usually involves at least some research. When I get really interested in something, I can spend ages just reading and skipping from link to link. Yesterday I was doing a couple of Shakespeare character analysis articles. One was Joan of Arc, and I really got into reading about her. The other was Lord Talbot, and again, he was a really interesting person in his own right, aside from the play in which he appeared - Henry VI Part I - so it took me nearly all day to do a couple of articles which should have taken between 2 and 3 hours. I suppose I'm really saying it depends what you want from the internet. If you're just surfing, it can all become a bit samey, but if you're actually researching something, no matter what the subject, you can become really absorbed in it.

Not now at least. I think that there are times where doing the same things, every day on the Internet, that can get a bit dull. Which just means that its just time to mix it up, visit different websites or do things in a different order than you normally do. But, I would not say that the Internet in general is getting boring, not by a long shot. Now will anything replace it? Well, yes, some day. I mean, who could have ever seen the Internet blowing up the way it did? I doubt any of us could have seen the Internet coming. It is just really something that has caught many of us completely off guard. There will be something far more insane than our craziest dreams. The most insane is yet to come with technology. Just strap in and enjoy the ride, I guess.

The internet becomes boring if it is used and looked upon as a toy. If someone uses the internet for games and other stuff for pleasure, then he will eventually get tired of it. The internet is supposed to be a tool, or a communication equipment. If it is something that we use for our comfort, then there is no sense how it will become boring. And there is no other alternative to the internet.

The internet is great, there is so much to do you just have to browse for it haha

i don't think can be replaced by anything.. without that nothing works and people will go mad without it.. we can get more knowledge through internet and there is no point of boring here...

well if you are getting bored of internet then i guess you are looking at wrong places :). I personally feel internet is so huge that you can always find something interesting on it and I personally believe that. I am a web developer and I find a huge amount of information regarding my field on internet which I feel I would not have learned if I was not aware of internet. Plus there are several other topics on which I find so much information. I have passion in photography and I found a lot of information and reference regarding photography and how to enhance your skills.

i still love the internet as it is. I do not get bored with it... not yet as of this time because i am not using it for facebook only, or i am not using it for the same old boring stuffs we see all over the net. I like the internet for mylot, for the chance of having an extra income source, online... :D and well i sure am not bored with mylot, and so far i have equated internet means mylot... hehe and im fine with it. To add, i find some good stuffs online too, free music, downloads, music videos, i do not have to wait for them to show it on mtv and i can listen and watch it by myself... I think too that it would probably take a few more years before theycan develop something new. i think WWW is what it is now... and will just evolve into something better... but not be replaced by something new.

I do not think I will ever get completely bored with the internet but I have days were it seems like there is nothing to do online. today I made the choice to get on mylot and start making time here instead of being on facebook all day. I love being online but there are somedays I choose to try and stay away and live life in the now instead of through typing or whatever.

I don't think I could get bored of the internet, because there's so much you can do with it, listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, earn money, play games, there's just too much to do with it so you can't really replace it with something else.

Yeah I get that feeling too. Like I would get all excited to log on and get onto the internet to start browsing or do whatever I like to do. By the tie I open the internet, I just sit there and think what I should do and then eventually I'll grow really bored. After discovering Mylot, I always find something to do on the internet now. I would usually spend about an hour on Mylot and then leave the rest for other stuff like watching a movie or playing games. Now if I didn't have Mylot, I would spend more time with movies and games and eventually, I'll run out of things to do on the internet. I hate it when I have nothing to do online.
