I'm trying to see if I can not go onto my own message board, which isn't very easy. I've checked in, but haven't signed on. My little "break from the internet" has turned into a "let's see how long it takes for people to notice I am gone" and it's really knocked me down a notch or two. Granted, it's only been about three days. But still, it's starting to get a little annoying. I need to go read a book or something.

For me I think that I have the love hate relationship with the iternet. I find the internet a very useful tool, you have the world's resources at your fingertips, if you have doubts or quaries about anything on this earth, just post a question on a forum board anywhere in the world and chances are someone will have something to say about that. You can find plenty of stuff in your own language, no matter where you are living, you can even incrrease your knowledge on very technical fields from the top universities. Many of them are conducting free online courses, so basically what I'm saying is that the internet is a wealth of knowledge.

It is also a great platform to share your ideas and openions about practically anything, and its amazing to think that people from all over the world can read what you are saying. Truely, there really isn't anything like it.

Also its an opportunity to make some money, maybe throughyour blog, through some other ways.

However, like every other piece of technology,with opportunity comes risks.

Someties, people get so carried away on the internet, they tend to loose track of time, they forget they have a life outside of the computer. Sometimes they forget about the more important things in life like family, friends, loved ones,they forget daily living like to eat, to go out and have some fun, thats when they internet can turn deadly.

That is not to say that we shoud not utilize this amazing tool, but please remember to lead a balanced life and spend time with your loved ones, they are what counts.

yes i do at times, the only reason really is becuase there is not much people that visit at all or care about the site. thats y i try my best to make a site that poeple would find usefull for themselves. which is why i made the site i have today. its very usefull and free which is the best thing. although its not really that easy to get the word spread about my site. but the traffic is pretty decent i guess...i have about 131 visiters registered into my site. if you want check it out n tell me what you think and if you like what you see and interested register and use it for its use

For sure! at times I felt like giving up internet related stuff. There has been many forums and communities I've been a part of and/or moderated.

There have been times where I've taken a 'break' from the internet and pretty gotten more of a life.. but when I come back onto the internet as a free time filler, new content, debates and all are there and it makes it very interesting to read as opposed to being on everyday hoping for a new topic to discuss or so...

But then again, now I try to balance life, work and study with internet and other hobbies.. Dont mind indoor sports during the mid week, and gotta love the drinks on friday/sat arvo/evenings.

i sometimes feel like giving up when things dont go my way. i have had many websites in the past and none of htem have had a point, and i think that is why i give up too. i have nothing to put on a website.
