Happy Friday Shopping Friends! 
How true is this statement for you in your life:
"The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow." ~Bill Gates
I feel this is especially true. I find that a lot of people in my day-to-day life don't understand online communities (such as forums.) They cannot understand how people can bond and call one another "friends". I can't imagine life without it! I am definitely one of the lucky ones who "grew up" with the internet....or rather that it came out in my late teens. Here a good 10 solid years later it only enhances my life.
Where else can you discuss hobbies, life, family & philosphy and not have to worry if your hair is a mess, your breath is foul or what you're wearing makes you look fat! I can sit in the comfort of my own home and chat away!
Sad though there are downsides to online communities. For example, not being able to meet "friends" who are very far away. A definate drawback!
How has the internet changed your life? I know for some (including me) it is almost like a saving grace when other things seem so wrong...ya know?!
