What do you use the internet for?

I hope you right because use making birthday card on computers Crouse I doing

I'm one of those prehistoric beasts who, until late last year, had managed to swerve the internet, as it had the tendency to trigger rage in me and I was always concerned that people could use it to gain an insight into my life. I dont have an internet connection, and thus only get to use the computer when at my sister's or daughter's houses, which I often am these days. I only started using it as I was forced to, by the dwp when I made my initial universal credit claim last November (worksearch history, proof that I was looking for work, etc.) I'd tried several groups/forums when I started out, but, while not wanting to cast aspersions on anyone, they always felt to me to be filled with people who werent very helpful, and were often the total opposite; before being directed to here, the amount of duff info and falsehood (often accompanied by wickedly grinning 'devil' emoticons when a fellow user was gleefully giving what they obviously felt was amusingly bad news) was crushing, especially for someone with my less-than-bubbly-outgoing-personality. I feel theres more real help here, and use it now just to come on here when I can, and to check my emails; just yesterday, I searched for what may be causing my dizziness and visual disturbances and ended up up in a panic state lol. It is obviously a great boon to those who are house or room bound but I use it very minimally. My children reckon that, by this time next year, I'll be totally addicted, but I cant see it, meself. More power to those of you who find it useful or helpful, though.
