  3. Need! It seems to be the word that comes up most often in discribing whether we want to keep it of let go of it. I am not saying that people do not need internet at home but rather that some needs are created in our own minds or be social pressures. Technology changes as the world progresses and the newest technologies become integrated into society and become the norn for conformity. When we step back and evaluate our needs we can often find that there are many alternatives to meet our requirments. Our choices then become a matter of personal preferences and convinience. When we recognise that we made the choice for the sake of convenience rather then necessity we realise that we made the choice of sperging on a luxury. If you use at home internet for work or school then it becomes an investment or part of a buisness expense (it does not matter if you can claim it or not). Yes I do have internet at home and I chose high speed DSL. I recocnise that it is a luxury. I look at it as my monthly entertainment fee from which I get television, movies, newspapers, magazines, music, comunication with friends and most importantly my source for porn!:icon_lol: Do I need it? No! Do I want it? Yes! Can I do without it? Of course. But that is a personal choice.
  4. I have not had a landline for over 6 years now, only a cell phone and it is not a Blackberry or even a smart phone. I have not had cable in over 2 years only rabbit ears for local news and I watch tv shows and movies on the internet from an independent provider not the big corporations. I signed up for netflix last summer and that is great! I also go to the tv internet sites like CTV, Global, City TV and others to watch shows. For the moment while I still have to work and have to live in Ottawa I would not give up my internet but when I retire and move away I am sure that I will gladly give it up. The question at that time will be if I get a smart phone or give up my cell phone completely and rely on internet cafes or the public library and public phones to stay in touch with friends and family. Only time will tell. Besides there can big a very big change in the next 10 to 15 years in how we comunicate and access the internet.
