look at the different ways of meeting people-you yahoo,msn,pal talk,most of your Internet carriers also has chat rooms,pogo.com,and other game sites.the list goes on and on and there is just so many ways.
first of all you have to be careful,there is scam artists,hackers and people who some people will willing give information to thinking they are getting something in return for nothing. but my friend there i really geniune peopel on the internet who are looking for friends,love or just someone to talk to.sometimes they outweigh the bad.you just have to becareful and always remember this is a place anyone can be whatever they want and whoever they want and they can post false profiles and fake pictures.(believe me i know)and i am sure alot of you has run into someone whose pic is different than what they really look like.it is so easy to do,but it does happen,but don't let one bad person ruin your interest on the net.then you can buy just about anything on the internet.majority of your stores has internet access onto their online site. it has gotten you never have to ever leave your house for any reason.convient or have we just gotten lazy?
now i understand the elderly,the disabled,the handicapped this tool has help them to stay in touch with the outside world while they are shut ins and this may be the only way to be able to talk to someone and make friends.so at least you feel like you are still apart of life.(there is always exceptions to the rules)and they are the exception. good or bad we need to balance our life accordingly and if you are not a shut in and are able to get out of the house take advantage of it before you find yourself not being able to.
