As Machie's QOTD appeared popular, my QoTD (well weekend, as it's a Saturday night...) will be:
Do you think we are becoming too dependant on the Internet?
I may be one of many that have an Internet addiction. I even changed my mobile contract to be able to access e-mails and check my facebook pages.
If I ever need to transfer money, it is now done online and I can barely remember the last time I used a tangeable dictionary to find a meaning of a word. Wikipedia and GoogleBooks are my new bookshelf :/
I get infuriated by the time snailmail takes to arrive - it's only got 200 miles to go and my e-mail to the other side of the world gets there 5 days before my letter makes that short distance.
So what are your opinions on the Internet. Could you last a day/week/month/year without it or could you even give it up for life if needs be?
Personally i think the Internet is something sinister, but depending on how well this thread pans out will determine whether or not I explain why it is sinister.

Oh a very good question and can I add, if you had to give up TV or internet, which would it be? For me I wouldn't have a problem giving up TV, even before iPlayer, 4oD, etc. I rarely watch TV now and catch all my programs on my laptop or iPod. The iPlayer has gotten much better and they have shows on not long after they've aired unlike before when it would take a day to upload.
I think we got the internet in 1995/6 and since then I have used the internet every single day apart from a few holidays when I had to survive without.
Could I live without the internet? Hmm it would be very tough, but I think I could, but only if I have a lot of distractions. So a week in Florida would be much easier than a week long caravan holiday in Cornwall.
Do I think we use the internet too much? Yes, I'm wondering what it will be like for kids growing up in this internet world where everything is a few clicks away. When I was a kid we use to play hoop and stick. In the summer time we would be outside all day playing on railway lines and messing with my dads old air rifle. Kids now spend all day using the internet and they don't realise how dangerous it is.
