Nowadays, one of the most common way to pass time is by Net-surfing. Some years ago net-surfing, chatting, etc, was a strange thing most supposed to do between frikies teenagers who played with computers. But now this has become quite an old fashioned idea because any teenager, and even most of the adults have chatted to someone anytime, and of course most of us have net-surfed to find out any information, to buy a trip, a book, or whatever.
Net-surfing have introduced his own cultural changes between people. A new form of social habbits, languages, opportunities, games. You can look for anything, you're involved on the net beacuse you can write your own oppinions and talk to anyone. But this so huge information need your time to look for, to talk and the new hobbies, as any other pass time, demand time. There's a dangerous thing on that because if you lose control this pass time may take you and pain your real life.
So, the best is to enjoy this pass time caring not to lose the good things we already have.
