Saved money and made money by having the internet.

Bulletin boards were around in days of apple 2c and commodore 64 i was about 12 when i had my c64. the real internet felt like just evolution from that.

social media, email and cell phones yes, i wish theyd all fuck off and let me have my free time back - internet, love it!

No ... I prefer life now with the internet. Pre-Internet: Life was kinda bland.

You can instantly look up new music, weather, news, etc. All the content that I want to see for my life is there at my fingertips on really almost anything I desire to check out.

Being able to travel, bank and perform whatever tasks via smartphone/iPad/laptop is key.

Biggest plus: I have made my fortune in IT + Telecommunications while working from anywhere on the planet. So, the internet for me where its at.

The constant texting and checking by some drives me crazy. I also don't like the feeling of accountability that comes with a cell phone. People expect your immediate attention for the smallest things.

my phone is off when i sleep, i dont switch it on for the first 2-3 hours after getting up and on weekends it sometimes stays off completely.

Can't imagine living without internet anymore.. But that's because it is my source of income.. Having no internet for more than 48 hours makes me go crazy!

But I do miss the pre-internet era.. where you would dialup to some BBS and wait for nearly a minute to see some 80's porn pic downloaded at 14.4kbps speed.. :D

This is one thing that annoys me. I have some people that will just call repeatedly and send emails expecting you to reply in seconds.

The days of people leaving voicemails are pretty much over,
Now it's just endless bugging.
