Only the lonely -

I read in today's newspaper that the Internet is a fabulous source of fun, information, debate, contributions all of the stuff required to make a pub conversation a little more fulfilling. Online banking, arranging trips, sharing music, checking flights, book car hire, make hotel reservations and of course shopping online allows more time to lounge around and watch lolcats

Well - I've found that the internet has enabled me to connect with like-minded people but read this illuminating note from a far away friend:

The knock on effect of the webternet is enormously beneficial to my mental health. I've discovered that actually I'm not alone - there are lots of people like me...

I have groups of friends all over the world - none of them know eachother. Before facebook I felt as though my life was fragmented, and I was never satisfied wherever I was because I missed people in another location. Facebook has brought it all together in one place - and now I can connect regularly with wonderful people I've met along the way.

I'm more content to settle and stay put - because the world is at my finger tips...
