Thanks Al, appreciate it and all your efforts to stop global warming while lining your pockets with profits from speeches, books, and appearances. I wish I could be around 100 years from now to see how the internet develops. Imagine the advances that will come with technology. That is assuming that 2012 on Dec 21st is not the end of times...... I think Al Gore came up with the Mayan calendar as well if I am not mistaken. Just think 40 years ago Al Gore invented the internet.

Things have changed so tremendously since then, let alone 40 years ago. I can remember signing into my Earthlink dialup connection some 7 years ago.

Time flew and the Internet caught up with our lives. Now we're revolving (evolving?) around it. It's not hard to pry myself out of the internet: I don't get too many attention here. I get more attention from my wife and daughter, thus I spend more time with them. Amazing how that works out. But I still admit having a slight addiction to this new idiot-box. I don't enjoy buying groceries because of the long lines, having difficulties finding parking, and rude cashiers. Maybe what I need is an empty supermarket with pleasant workers. See you on Facebook! ;-) Hi Lin,

I didn't realize the internet had been around for so long. I do remember my very first "computer" if you can call it that. I used to have webtv years ago and that is how I accessed the internet and used email etc. Wow how times have changed since then. It's been amazing to me the number of parents who contact me saying their kids are addicted to not just the internet but video games especially and ask for suggestions about getting them off the computer. Hello??? It's called parenting with a capitol P. Becoming addicted to the internet is quite easy. Even though I am FAR from being addicted to this box in front of me, I have made some changes to the amount of time I spend just playing around online, or <strike>wasting time</strike> talking to people on Twitter and various other social networking sites. Life is what we all make of it, and there is nothing more important to me than spending real time with the people I love and care about. I don't ever want to look back on all these years of writing for my different blogs and end up regretting missing out on time with family and friends. By the way, a few years ago there used to be a way to order groceries online from local grocery stores and have the stuff delivered, and I did that a couple of times. I don't know if that is still possible, but going grocery shopping is one necessary thing I do not enjoy. Hi Rudy,
