    probably the most important of any one material thing in my life beyond the bare bones of physical survival.
    well not the internet itself alone exactly, but being able to make art on my computer and then use the net to upload and share the colors, shapes and ideas.

    That, and knowing that in a million years it'll all be gone along with everything else

    Put it in a titanium bottle

    Well if we are talking about ridiculous increments of time you should have went with 5 billion years from now when everything will be gone.

    What is Internet addiction?
    Internet addiction is described as an impulse control disorder, which does not involve use of an intoxicating drug and is very similar to pathological gambling. Some Internet users may develop an emotional attachment to on-line friends and activities they create on their computer screens. Internet users may enjoy aspects of the Internet that allow them to meet, socialize, and exchange ideas through the use of chat rooms, social networking websites, or "virtual communities." Other Internet users spend endless hours researching topics of interest Online or "blogging". Blogging is a contraction of the term "Web log", in which an individual will post commentaries and keep regular chronicle of events. It can be viewed as journaling and the entries are primarily textual.

    For me it's the bees knees. Not exactly the internet, but from that precise moment in time we could download YouTube videos on a mobile device at an acceptable speed..... I have never been bored since, whether its waiting for a dentist, in a queue at a bank, commercial breaks while watching my favourite tv show, whatever

    Especially that aspect, keeping the mind busy, I think the internet is a lot more important than most want to admit

    I'd be pretty bummed if the internet didn't exist. Can't bring myself to hate on it. It's changed our lives, almost exclusively for the better. I'm sure there are downsides, but for anyone who uses technology "responsibly", the internet is an indispensable tool.

    The internet offers a massive library at your fingertips. Couple that with internet debate forums, and you've got the ingredients for a volatile environment.

    It all must have its place. Great in moderation, just like everything else.
