I think for most people, the internet doesn't take over their lives.

I always meet people in real life rather than over MSN, and IM has introduced me to a lot of people i wouldn't have met otherwise. Traxor and Stigmata for example, I met them at party in the park last year through these forums and msn

i read in the newspaper once that according to a university in Toronto, it was good for your social life O_o.
It said that people received more phone calls when they used programs like MSN a lot :dodgy:.

I guess that it's good as long as you dont abuse it.

Couple Who Have Never Met in Person Wed Online

JAKARTA, Indonesia - Rita Sri Mutiara Dewi, 50, and Wiriadi, 52, communicated online and by telephone for months but had never met in person. Through the technology of cyberspace, they are now married. The couple tied the knot online on Thursday. Wiriadi, who uses only one name, was not able to take time off work to participate in a traditional wedding. A muslim cleric witnessed the online ceremony and declared it a legal marriage. Dewi was in Indonesia and Wiriadi was in California. A video link was established so that the bride's relatives could see her groom. Wiriadi is employed as a physiotherapist while Dewi is a teacher in Malaysia. Dewi will be traveling to the U.S to finally meet her new husband next month.
