My virtual history / The Net & I
The world is becoming a smaller place thanks to the net. I
never knew how valuable the net is in my life until recently.
At the onset*, I found the net as a bottomless treasure
chest of porn. An unlimited resource of different kinds of adult material, from
the kinky to the bizarre. A virtual paradise for porn aficionados with
additional perks, you can also do some research about anything aside from porn.
Emails then, was confined to relatives abroad, since not as many people were
online during those days. Eventually, porn took a second seat to chatting**. The
web had evolved from porn reserve to hunting grounds (and of course the
optional information researches). Unfortunately for me, chatting wasn’t as
popular as it is now. Before, only techies knew of chatting or those who’s
course and jobs were related to computers, nowadays, the hottest of babes are
online. After huge bills from my ISP*** and several misadventures with ‘cyber
friends’, I laid low for awhile and began to use the net productively. Aside from
porn, I discovered the net was also a limitless resource of utilities and other
helpful apps as well as Mp3’s. Since the bandwidth has improved considerably,
downloading stuff became more convenient.
During those days, the net was just another source of
entertainment and escape. That all changed when I left for Qatar in ‘05. I’ve
personally witnessed how powerful it is as a tool for communication.
Thanks to the advances in technology in recent years, the
net has made emails a common medium of communication. Through the net my family,
relatives and friends are just a net café away. Through some topics on a forum I’m
a member of, I’ve learned a lot of people think like I do and share the same
ideas. Through some websites, such as friendster and yahoo groups, I’ve
reconnected with old buddies and schoolmates, some of who are half-way around
the globe. The net is a terrific support group, bringing us all together
through a computer. Thank God for High Technology!
Did I mention it was also a treasure chest of porn?

You better fix your priorities man. You have some serious issues to deal with. From a cursory reading of your article, it may sound funny and informative, but overall, it does not make you look any better psychologically, mentally, spiritually,and most of all, socially. Take care man.
