Nope. But such information gives me a kind of amusement or pleasure even though it's really utterly inconsequential to me. It's that reliable sense of mild amusement that I'm addicted to, personally. It's a lot like watching TV, I think, but with a much greater range of options and a little bit of interactivity added in, making it that much more attractive. |

I would read the vast majority of books on the ever-growing "to read" list, expand my vocabulary knowledge to the extent of never reaching for the dictionary when reading 19th Century English literature, grow endurant enough to bike my way up a steep hill without having a near-heart attack, earn at least a B in that advanced calculus class which I ended up dropping, greatly improve my literary analysis skills, become a connoisseur of the French New Wave films, learn how to mix records flawlessly, become a better photographer, start learning how to play upright bass, start a Food Not Bombs chapter in Charlotte....

| Why doesn't everyone just say the truth and go with watch more TV? Not using the internet isn't going to turn anyone into a crazy motivated superman. |

I'd find something else to fritter my time away on and so would each and every one of you.
Don't blame the internet. |
