The internet is what taught me, working alongside cool people who know a lot and have been doing things on forums for example a long time. I've made friends globally that i can rely on.

Thanks Lino, Dave and all you others :P

Yes, learn to work with people from all around the world, all with different expertise and different views on things. Finding friends from all over the world etc.

No, real life is still the one and only real thing concerning social life! The web doesn't teach you how to be social in real life.

Nah, have always gotten along well with peeps, as long as they were friendly. Kind of an outgoing person.

I don't like people face to face they tend to do stupid things and piss you off besides we just don't get along too well in real life unless we meet on the net first.

Handy thing is with the tinternet is you can stop chatting to people when you need to, they don't live around the corner so you just cut them out.

Well when it comes to everyday life, I think the web tends to make one less social. I mean you can' be online and at a party at the same time. (ok you can with wireless etc, but don't get technicol on me guys)

So I guess it has, I mean personally for me this year (second last of high school) has made me really busy at school. And personall life has its ups and downs. Although everything in moderation.... real life.... net life... school
