Oh it has been such a gift.  Can you even imagine your life without the internet?  Without electronic communications?  No access to unfiltered news?  Most of my adult life has had internet, but I remember what it was like before it, in the 1980s.  We knew almost nothing.  What we did know was mostly wrong.
