I do not wish to go back and live without Internet. Internet helps me to stay in touch with friends. I do have my mobile phone but am sometimes happy when I can switch them off. I do understand the value of a (good) secretary, to keep my back clear so I can do my job. And sometimes it is nice to be offline and concentrate on the real world (i.e. family, friends). The good thing is, if I can control my time offline. A few weeks ago I was "forced offline", moving. Whew. It drove me nuts :-D But again. Isn't it nice sometimes to switch of the mobile phone (or "forget it at home" or in the office), to be traveling for vacation to a place where there's no Internet and concentrate only on the accompanying person(s)? It can be rather relaxing... ;-) Thanks for your feedback! Jürgen Hi Olga,

Some people answer your questions, you come to know they are interested in communication - think different, but understanding... and share you food for thoughts... :) -then it seems not so bad, and our small world seems a little more united and more kind, agree? this is one of the reasons to write these opened Food for Thoughts, isn't it?
