Well I don't consider it a replacement but I have to admit I watch much less

Information is good but so is mindless entertainment. =) Just need to
keep them in proper quantities. LOL.

It actually took me a while to figure that out, because to me,
the internet is this incredible worldwide library. I feel like
since the popularization of the internet that I have increased
my knowledge of the world by 3.
It's a shame most people use the internet to just play. Oh, well,
_I'm_ going to just keep learning so I don't fall behind. >> Stay informed about: Free Flash Intros |

Yes, before I had access to the Internet I used to watch documentaries if
the pace was not too slow. But that didn't stop me from watching other
stuff that might be considered a waste of time.

You can learn while playing

I use Internet both ways: mostly to learn though.

One's not going to learn much cruising dating pages trying to get laid and
downloading music. And alas, I think those things and email are most of
what the majority of users are limited to. Okay, add porn to that.

I did that once. I wanted to get to Morden via Bank on the Northern Line,
so I select an operating system and hardware combination, but just ended
up waiting around on the platform.

familiar with the underground......
