I think the Internet has a lot to give the silver surfer and Vice versa. Apart from making it easy to keep in touch with distant family and friends we can discover new worlds out there with the help of our global contact list of friends. Some join groups of people with shared interests,some show us their homeland through stunning photos and well written blogs. We get close to some and become firm friends sharing our daily trails and triumphs. These are things that will keep our brains active which is good it would be so easy to curl up on cold winter days and just watch the mindless pap on the goggle box. It is through the Internet I rediscovered my love for walking. I had an on line pal called Michelle who came for a visit and wanted to see around the island and that was the spur that put me back on track and shook me out of a few years of laziness.So what do I get from the Internet? Well apart from the above I have Flickr to store my photos and You tube for my videos which I can send to anybody in a few seconds and it is keeping my brain alert. I hope to be around to bore folk for a long time to come.You have been warned.
