I work at home, on the computer. That is a fact. I am working towards owning a few gluten free farms and creating an empire based on that. I have some lofty goals. That being said, I have noticed, even in myself, that the computer is where I work.
Yes, it is faster, we can communicate, we can get things done, keep facts, write letters, etc... You know as well as I do, the computer is a big deal in our everyday lives.
How important is the computer in your life? What if the net just died one day and we could no longer communicate via internet? How would this affect you? I know with me, it would be pretty harsh only because my job is on the net. I am honest about it, it is my way to live for now. I am working on getting it not to be.

I still remember those old days when the phones were in our homes and only the Army had the wakee talkees (we didn't have cell phones back then) in their cars or trucks.
There were only 4 channels back then and one was PBS.
Hummm, no, I wouldn't want to go back to that, I love foolin round on the web.

Yes, I remember the time when you came home for the phone calls. I don't want to go back either.
I had PBS, NBC, ABC and CBS. Eventually Fox came into play. And when I was up, I was the channel changer. So glad I am with you on remembering that.

It is very important in my life. It helps me to make a few extra bucks and that is nice. I hope you reach your 'lofty' goals.

We cannot deny the fact that the internet has indeed managed to take a lot of our lives. Check this article and see how many people are already working online for a living. However, I believe that no matter how fast our wifi internet plans are, it all depends on how we manage our time and enjoy life, outside the internet world.
The internet has indeed open up a lot of rewarding opportunities for the young and old alike. From simple businesses to companies that provides services to online freelancing. Working online has be...

Joie,
Thank you so much for the link. I am going to check it out when my hour is up on MyLot and I have to write out my next few things to do tonight before I go to bed. I am so glad that you responded and I am sure it is a good article. I will have to let you know how many mistakes I have made that it list in there. Haha. I bet one of them is that the computer takes over your world and you forget there is and outside world.
I get caught up in work and lose track of time. It is a good thing I am a hermit.
Thanks for the post.

I think life will be hard with the internet. I have read a book that had a scene where the internet was partly gone. Also watch the show Revolution. It's about people living without power.
