I'm having mixed feelings about the internet these days.
pwhodges:
People had conversations like this about just computers, long before the Internet arrived*; addiction to games, for instance - yes even the earliest text-only ones (I even wrote one of them back in the late '70s). Not to mention TV; and the movies, I guess, before that. These things work out somehow.
* Yes, I know it's existed since the end of the 1960s, but it hadn't escaped into the world.
jhocking:
wtf
Is this thread for real, or is this like an elaborate joke that I'm not in on?
SilentJ:
Yeah, I had a similar thought upon reading some of the thread, but it seems legit to me.

This.

I actually find it rather easy to balance internet and meatlife. I separate my meatlife into several different... aspects, I suppose one could say. For example, school, home, with friends, etc. I treat as if they are completely separate lives, just lived by the same person. There's a little overlap between them, but I use them as comparison for one another, and this is how I treat the internet. The internet is a perfectly legit way to meet people, do silly things to kill time, set one's life in order, and so many other things that can be accomplished through physical interpersonal interactions, so I see no reason why using the internet a lot is such a big problem to so many people. As long as it's balanced out with other things in meatlife, I see no problem with it.

Poor old Joe Hocking
As he gets on in age, it becomes harder for him to keep up with the ever-evolving forums, leaving him in a muddled mess of confusion and head-scratching
Such is life.
squawk:
As for me and the internet I'm just here to reuse people's jokes, but in real life so everybody thinks I'm hilarious all by myself.
No really it is a procrastination tool and a communication tool and a music... thing...? and it has too much of an influence on my life.
