What a brilliant question Candy -
HOW HAS THE INTERNET CHANGED MY LIFE?
 
Well, like everyone else on here I have friends worldwide!
'Yahoo' chatrooms were my first addiction . . and it certainly WAS an addiction, for me anyway.
Broadband didn't exist and, if I remember rightly, I only spent a couple of hours a day, more on the weekend because it was so expensive but less so at the weekend.
 
Like Candy, I'm an avid user of Google. Anything can spark a search - a bygone item that I had forgotten, the name of someone which prompts me to 'where are they now' - anything!
 
For me, shopping has become a whole lot easier, as has paying the bills.
It's sad to say but I very rarely use a dictionary, I have my favourite online one.
Every morning I NEED to do my online jigsaw and crossword. I like to think it keeps my brain active.
 
My PC has given me tools to expand on my creativity. I now know how to make birthday cards, write a family newsletter, trace my ancestry and learn how to use PSP software.
 
Nothing really annoys me about the internet, except when it fails to do what I want it to and then it's my fault anyway - it's the operator that's to blame not the tool.
Or when I have to turn my hand towards the technical side and then I get frustrated!
 
I have always found the internet fascinating and will always find it to be so, for as long as it exists - I would be lost without it!
 
Because without it I wouldn't have found all you lot . . . nor would I have found the contacts to enable me to have my beautiful dogs or my chuck . . . or the umpteen shrubs, plants flowers I have in my garden . . . the list is endless!
 
I LOVE MY PC ~ Kaz
