I Love The Internet Because.......
 
I've been wondering all week what the lovely music on the new Audi A5 advert is so I googled it tonight and found it. Whilst doing that, I also managed to find out what a piece of music is that was on a favourite PC game I had years ago (a Chopin piece).

It made me say to OH - isn't the internet great. I'm a huge fan of imdb for those moments when you're watching something and you think you've seen and actor or actress before too.

I just love being able to get the answers to my questions there and then.

Besides BE of course, what is it about the internet that you love?

...................of porn (whoops did I say that out loud:eek:)





Mostly though for music and keeping in contact with people. Great for the kids to maintain relationships with old friends.

As the people here grow colder,
I turn to my computer,
And spend my evenings with it
like a friend....

I love imdb too, also wikipedia, which I can happily sit with for hours.
My favourite aspect of the internet is its instantaneousness (is that a word?! instanity?!) because I am extremely impatient. I want to know NOW!
And my favourite use of the internet is keeping in touch with all my old friends, and with family, who are all a long, long way away. But with hotmail and facebook I can keep in touch with what they are up to and not feel so left out of it all - hopefully I won't need it so much once I have new friends here, but at the moment I think I would feel very lonely without it! :(

(Oh & I love the internet because of BE too! All hail the internet :thumbsup::thumbsup:)
