I must say that my life would be totally different without the Internet. The vast array of information at my fingertips has improved the quality of my life considerably. Whether it’s a matter of looking for TV listings, getting information about secured loans, buying a toy flying pig or keeping in touch with my friends, I can do it all online.
The downside of this is that I’m starting to get dependant on the range of information I have. While having a conversation with someone, if I get asked a question I don’t know the answer of, I can get quite frustrated at not being able to answer. Normally I would just fire up Google and look up the answer, but Internet access is still not so ubiquitous that I can have a connection anywhere. Who know though, in the future they may develop neural implants that allow you to download information straight to your brain.
Or maybe I’m just watching too much sci-fi …

Is there such a thing as ‘too much sci fi’?
I would love to be connected more, too. I’m always online, it seems, whenever my laptop is on. When I’m not online, or I have to pay for it like at the airport, I get frustrated.
