The great things about the Internet

I was just thinking of this while folding my clothes . Here are a couple of things I came up with:

1. Help and advice are readily available, provided you look for it. And most of the time, people don’t even think about charging you.
2. A sense of belonging. This is especially true in a great forum such as BigBlueBall, where I’ve met lots of nice folks. Furthermore, with Instant Messaging such as Windows Live Messenger, you’re never alone.
3. International brotherhood. Yeah, I just coined this up. Tied in with #1, because while you can search for help and advice, you can also contribute ideas and solutions. It’s an international win-win situation.
4. Opportunities. Granted, there are thousands of scams on the web, but there are also genuine opportunities. This is something I am really looking into!

What a strange dream

Had the strangest dream last night. I suddenly found myself in London, England. Disoriented, and without any money in my pocket. It was like something from the movie Jumper.

Going back to my dream, I quickly made a beeline to a nearby college. People took no notice of me, I passed a huge cafeteria with lots of students and discovered an IT center. Went into it, asked if I could get Internet access, and was told (this is the freaky part) “We don’t have Internet access here, and even if we did, you’d have to pay!!”

That really woke me up. Am I trying to tell myself I can’t survive without the Internet?
