yes. i used to spend less time staring at a screen. :lol:
seriously, though, i probably learn significantly more things than i did pre-internet, and i do so every day. also, i have social anxiety which makes face to face or phone conversations fairly stressful. interactions online are much easier, and i can express myself more effectively.
it has also change me physically : i found the resources i needed to quit smoking and to get in really good shape through online searching, interaction, and support.
i walk around every day with a device the size of my high school calculator strapped to my hip. this device contains the modern equivalent of the library of Alexandria and then some. this still blows my mind.
When I was a kid they promised us flying cars.and pocket computers.
And they sure as hell came through on the latter.
