What do you think? Is the internet a means of endless fascination or is it promoting distraction and interfering with our ability to concentrate for extended periods of time?

I think the internet is a means of endless fascination.  The internet opens millions and millions of windows and doors that I like to believe are filled with opportunity.  What you do with the opportunities is up to you however.  You can literally connect with anyone in the world on the internet, be it via Facebook, twitter, or anything that you can find for that matter.  You can get any information on the internet that you can get from any college class in the world, plus some.  You can watch any sporting events of the past and you can watch any sporting events that are going on at that exact time.  You can check on anything you want.  You can see how much money you have in the bank, check stocks to see what’s up and down, or simply buy anything you want from anywhere you want.  If you want to know figure out the answer to any questions you have or need to figure out answers for a class test, the odds are you can find anything you need 99.99999% of the time.  You can book hotels/motels wherever you wish to go.  You can book reservations at any places that offer that service.  You can really just set up anything you need to do ahead of time so you aren’t waiting around on something when you need to be doing something else.  The best thing about the internet is that in this point in time, you can do any and all of these things, plus almost infinite more things, faster than you can read them off of my blog.  The internet is definitely a means of endless fascination and the world would most definitely not be what it is today without the internet. ilysel :D
