So while many of us would not miss the internet too much (and probably should spend less time on the net), it is a useful tool and theraputic for a significant percentage of the population.

Yeah, internet good, addiction bad

I know how you are seeing this from your point of view, my concern was why did we pour so much money into it, fight wars over it, scare the daylights with arms races, and basically take human life for it. Was it all worth it? when the computer could of been achieved for the benefit of mankind without loss of life, destruction and agony.

Function = same, only difference is computer.
