I guarantee there would be a lot of homicides and crazy crap happening. Some people have made a comfortable niche for themselves that they cannot duplicate in the real world. I sort of am happy for those people even if it is a virtual existance, it still feels nice inside to communicate.

I love the net, for me though it would kill my business since it's mostly cisco and networking sold via email and internet sites.

luckily that will never happen, but unless they do something soon one way it will be a congested place and 56k connections will be the stuff people dream of :)

all the people saying "get a girlfriend" and crap, that's kinda unfair. even when i am with a girl, i still spend alot of time on the net, part of a techie guy's hobby is to make pages and stuff in the spare time, get mp3's and make a music collection, keep in touch with friends and relatives at the same time, do online banking and such, makes the life SO MUCH EASIER.. so that's an unfair response.

no matter what it would still REALLY BLOW CHUNKS if that were to ever happen.. boooo...
