My friends and I have a conversation almost every week about our broadband provider. It never fails one of us has a beef about our networking centergoing crazy or our browsers freezing up and after several minutes finding it was our broadband provider server doing a hiccup for whatever reason. It’s constantly something with one of us. And when it is more than one of us at a time; then we have to compare how much trouble we’ve had with “our” broadband provider.

We have instant messaging going all the time and let each other know when we find something on the Internet we think one of the others would appreciate. Say a website for needle point I find I know Sherry would like to see, I would be instant messaging her link. If the web design is particularly cleaver I am instant messaging that link to Carol. She works on web design so I know she would appreciate a site like that. We are always networking with each other and we enjoy it.

I might be networking with another group and find some information I know another contact I have in another network would like to see, with an instant message, I help Sherry find out about a certain site who offers a particular service, and shewill be instant messaging me eventually as well to tell me about a site she found on cooking or something else she thinks I would enjoy. This back and forth goes on all the time. I am positive it is like this for most surfers who spend much time on the Internet.

This is for the most part all we need to do to keep in touch with each other. Of course we can talk on the phone and we often do that as well. Playing around with our teenagers on the Internet is also a great entertainment. Theycan find some really wonderfully different sites to checkout. I listen to them as they explain their take on something and it never fails to surprise me what they think about different kinds of content. Families that communicate about the world around them are always closer and a stronger unit.
