I own a laptop but do not have Internet at my home. When I tell others I don't have Internet, they are shocked and by the expression on their faces I can tell they think I am crazy. I just don't have any use for it except to do homework assignments for my classes. I never had a blog before I had to do it for my art class, and I don't have a Myspace or Facebook. I think we (a term I'm using for people in general) depend too heavily on these social sources, replacing real communication and contact. It has become so easy to access resources on the Internet that we really don't have to do much on our own. You don't have to drive to the bank to transfer money from checking to savings, which arises the issue of the safety and identity theft. Instead of going to the library and researching, you can Google anything and it is readily available. This is a benefit, but I wonder what's going to happen to good old fashioned resource library books.
