I love the Internet! Greatest thing since the public library for the curious and restless mind. Its not without its problems, of course, but I do think it is changing the way we live, and will continue to do so in unanticipated ways. I have some questions of you:

--How many Net communities do you actively contribute to at one time? I have personally found about 4 to be the top limit of active participation. Athough I belong to more, I tend to rotate posting in them.

--How has Net access changed the way you live? For instance, I tend to keep less "paper" around the house, like magazines, articles, copies of instruction manuals, fiction I read--because now I know I can access that whenever I want to.

--Do you find yourself succumbing to bad habits? i.e., Addiction to surfing, or increased distraction because of too much information?
