Karen: I am sleeping better because I can sleep in. Once I get back to the 9 to 5 routine it may change but I am okay with it at the moment.

Yes, I too was lonely as a teenager and would have loved the internet. It's just not easy for all people to be social animals. And I love the whole blogging, surfing, buying and other things that happen via internet.

I'm very thankful for the internet. I'm a bit of a solitary person, even given my profession, and have made very good friendships via the internet. It offers an option to running around trying to please different friends, when there's really no way anyone could do that without inciting jealousies and drama. If online drama occurs, it's easy enough to back off without blow back. I would have loved an online life as a teen as well, since I was very often lonely. I'm very glad to hear you slept in... seems to indicate that you're sleeping better these days. Good for you!

RJ: Having the option of sleep is the crucial part of the enjoyment. There is more good to computers that people give credit for.

Harriet: It's nice to hear someone who thinks it is okay too. Too often parents who are okay with it all are made out to be awful parents. Or lacking somehow.

Your son sounds so much like mine. I wonder if they are friends on the internet? If this was 20 years ago my son would be all alone, so although he doesn't really have friends in real life, he does have a social life. I also don't think it is a bad thing.

Computers do give one options that did not exist and that is a good thing.

Nothing like waking up alert and having the option of sleep once again. Very nice. I can smell the fresh rain drifting in through the window.
