Obviously it had its dark side and I wasn't oblivious to that, but I had no desire to walk in the dark paths and the good side was SO good that it shone like a million little lights, to me. I haven't seen a reason to change my basic thoughts on this. <BR/><BR/>The invention of the internet (or development -- I'm probably showing my non-tech side here) seems almost analagous to the invention of the printing press."<BR/><BR/>I love these two thoughts.......I felt the same way about the internet....having an addiction to libraries, you know.<BR/><BR/>Great comparison about the printing press......you ARE clever. :)<BR/><BR/>Another good thing to come out of the internet: BEST FRIENDS!Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277094656877585527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15843479.post-23684950299695703972009-01-30T03:46:00.000-08:002009-01-30T03:46:00.000-08:00Excellent points.

But I hope that I am open to whatever relationships that God has set for me. Something to pray about this morning.Laura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168905598871608315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15843479.post-45244608396375213182009-01-29T11:57:00.000-08:002009-01-29T11:57:00.000-08:00Yes, lovely post.

I just said to my dh a few days ago that my life might have been very different had I had avenues like blogging, email lists and even Facebook back then! I find these have really helped me grow, understand myself and others, and even be far more willing and capable to communicate with casual acquaintances. In short, the virtual world has served to make me much more human, and I'm very grateful for this gift!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04500724701139176293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15843479.post-24593728151821503422009-01-29T03:54:00.000-08:002009-01-29T03:54:00.000-08:00Beautiful post!

I never really thought about that before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
