      I like people better online than off - no-one's trying to take snaps of me when I'm online (well, besides Big Brother, that is).

      Can't people just go outside without being looked at? I mean, I was wearing clothes and everything.

        The online world gives me something to do when the the real world is lacking at times: plus it is easier to "meet" people online, since a lot of things, like looks, don;t matter, so people can be more open.

        IN general, i say that it does neither: it facilitatets both, but that depends on the individual: it is a tool.

          It's a tool. You can't blame a crowbar for the beating death of a person, or a hammer for breaking your thumb.

                well for me, the internet has opened up completely new worlds. sometimes on apolyton, i feel like a student always asking questions and not understanding things... i would not have learned a lot of things if my only contact with the world was in the real world which to me is just the city.


                thanks

                  I'd say it does both.

                          Good luck - the children will eat it all before you get a look in.

                              So what would the world be like without the internet?

                              I guess it would be a lot like 1994

                              If you think about it, what really good thing has the internet really done beside provide free porn to millions of needy perverts?

                              Sure it helps in researching many things. But that research can be done in libraries. All the internet does is save time. Has it really saved any lives?

                                It gives people the urge to beat the living **** out of net rats who they will never meet.
