Is the internet a good thing or a bad thing?
(other than supplying a life for most corsasport users)

Personally i think its a good thing, because it offers a huge range of sources for coursework/college work, i feel isolated without the internet and have become very dependant upon it. Without the internet my work would be of a lower standard.
Large amounts of my boredom are solved by the internet with MSN or here or browsing other sites.

In my opinon it is a good thing

What do you think?

Wasn't this question used in a recent AOL billboard advertising campaign?

Anyway, yes it is, because I can retrieve free pornography/music/software/games to my heart's content.

I think the only problem with it is when you need to get away and revise hard

There is too much of a distraction and i always end up on some internet related thing

The internet has turned the majority of people into mindless fuckwits, and internet warriors.

Porn is cool though...

Me.

although I could vote good or bad.

Good in terms of info, my business website is doing very well etc.

Bad in terms that in my trade we get a lot of bedroom traders selling for cheap as they have no overheads to contend with to we have to compete with their prices (which isnt a problem just it means I make less profit) and also we get a lot of wasters with shit they bought of Ebay because it was cheap but when they get it it doesnt work.........their problem though

why hardly any point in asking people who dont actually use the internet as they will have a distorted view towards it devoleped by the media.

Its good IMO as I order from a lot of my suppliers using their B2B sites, I have my business website which is doing well and making some alright money. I also use it for work to get information on products, reviews etc......

So IMO I think its good.

I agree with this guy.

DR11 is wrong in his opinions though.
