I know I know, don't be online too much. But I want to offer a big rave for the internet because it's helped me a lot through life.
Research... Friends... Work...
I've done a lotta good.

Yes and we didn't even have it 24/7 the way kids do now. I like how we grew up with it the way we did.

I did have dialup in my home as a teen, but as far as having it all the time, you're right, I did not. So maybe that's why I'm OK with boundaries and getting offline too.

The internet gave me the chance to make a lot of friends and work remotely. It's a blessing in that respect.

Be able to work remotely is the biggest and best thing the internet gave me. I don't care if social media apps disappear.

Same and mostly because of remote work! I never lost work during the pandemic.

A lot of my loving friends and family live on the internet. It helps me keep in touch with people.

Truth, and it's mostly forums for me because I met a lot of really good friends.

Imagine where we'd all be if we didn't grow up in the era of forums!!

^IMO it would be weird if this forum didn't exist.

Tell me about it, especially for the folks that joined in the early 2000s I bet.

At this point, I think the only risk of the forum going away is if PB goes under.
