"I can honestly say that life would be a real pain in the ass without the Net."
So, was your life a pain in the ass before you stumbled onto the net? It surprises me when folks make sweeping declarations like this.
We all somehow got by before email, AIM, etc. Why shouldn't we now? What's wrong with picking up the phone to call someone, long distance charges or not?
I can agree that the net makes so many things so much easier, but you need to step back a bit if you feel your life will suffer without its existence.
