[quote:Anonymous Coward 473495:MV82NDUzOThfOTgyNzA0Nl83RTMxQkIyOQ==] [quote:refugee13] Maybe, if the net were to go down, it wouldn't be such a bad thing. Some people might actually develop a life. You know, actually leave your basement and go outside into the real world. Interact with real people face to face. What a concept. when I was growing up, we knew ALL of our neighbors and hung out with them all the time...it was really nice and I miss it very much... [/quote] It was the same when I grew up. If the net has done one thing for us, or to us, while it may have opened the world to us, it's also made us much more socially isolated, and has taken the "human" element out of our lives. So, if the net ever does go down, it might be a good thing socially. Especially now when the country is being plunged into another depression where we're going to have to depend on each other to get by. [/quote]

Here lately I have been thinking of this more and more as the doom gets worse and worse. Older folks like me will be devastated that there will be no instant communication but after a time of adjustment we will go back to what we knew before the computer age.
What do you think?????
