I agree 100% that the internet has changed things. Buying tickets to a concert. Booking a flight. Making hotel reservations. Garmin to get you there.
The bad things about the internet are Facebook Twitter. Instagram and all that other B.S. social media programs.
I don't do twitter and others but FB is great. (Like most things it depends on
how much work you put into it.) Not only do I have philosophical and discussions on morality there, I keep in direct touch with friends (yes, friends, people I know face to face) all across the States, Canada, England, France, Hungary, Ireland and Australia sometimes chatting in real time. I love it. I've even met a couple friends that way.
