The power of Internet.....2

Since I have my own pc and internet, life starts to change. I started to chat using mIRC. YES, this is the first chatting program that I used. Later, ICQ. ICQ is so popular at that time, almost everyday will chat in the ICQ. I still remember my ICQ number: 7580327. HAHA. Now, I'm not sure still got anyone using it or not. The chatting programs that I'm currently use are: Windows Live Messenger, Skype and QQ.

Besides chatting, email was the most convenient stuff for me to communicate with my friends and relatives in another country. They can receive the mail within seconds just after I sent it! This is TECHNOLOGY!! Amazing. The first email account that I have is from rocketmail. Later, Yahoo bought over rocketmail. Then, I have hotmail account too. Now, I'm no longer using that rocketmail since too many spam.

We can get so many stuff from the internet. MTV, songs, movies, series, etc.... Almost anything that you want, can get it from the WWW.

Talking about Internet, the most important thing is the service provider. If you asked the Malaysian that use STREAMYX, most will tell you one thing: the serivce is SUX!!! It's true, STREAMYX has monopoly almost all the market. I'm just having the problem cannot online last few days. Really fed up with the service. I called few times then only can solve my issue. At first, they told me my hardware problem. How can it be??? So, I just ignore it and wait for few hours, then I can online. Few days later, the problem comes again. This time is worse, whole night I'm not able to online!! Arrrgghhhh~~~~~ Finally, they told me it's their hardware problem and need to do some setting on the port. WTF, how can this be? But, no choice la, what to do... as long as I can use it now, cannot complain so much.

Now, if you ask me whether I can live without Internet, my answer will be YES and NO. YES: If only for few days, while going for vacation. NO: If there will be no internet connection for the rest of my life.

Just wondering, why people can live without the internet 10-20 years back and why I can't now? I've totally no idea.
