The internet
I need it, and it needs me

So, I had to drive down to North Carolina a while back. I was out in the smokey mountains and the south western most part of the state. It was quite awesome. A good week filled with fishing, old Army friends, and of course beer.
I left on July 8th and it's now July 15, that's a whole week without internet. It was good to get away for a while but I found myself in several situations where I thought to myself, "I kinda need to use the internet for this." Obviously it wasn't required and I figured out how to do it without the internet, but it got me thinking.
Do yall remember when the internet actually came out? I for one was in middle school. I can't remember what we did back then. Well that is, beyond going outside and riding my bike, playing with my dog, legos, etc.
Is it a good or bad thing that our society has gotten so dependent on the internet? I'm thinkin it's a mixed bag. It's hard to remember what we even did back then.
