How To Live Cheap In An UnCheap World: Tips And Experience On Living Within Your Means No Matter How Little Money You Make

I’ve been apart of this internet thing for as long as I can remember. I started out on computers before Win98 and the first modem I got was a, I think, 28 and I upgraded to 33, and I thought the world has just got incredible fast. Then I think we went to 56. I not sure, some people would say Alzheimer’s was setting in, but I just read on the internet this morning, that old people are slow because they have a lot of memories they have to sift through, to get to what they are looking for, and I’m going back a few years. I think I was the first person in my apartment block to have internet, as I was the only apartment to get a bill from the internet company. I still tell the younger generation about a scene from ＂Scary Movie 3＂ when Cindy types in a name into the search box, and then pop, pop, pop the whole screen is full of advertisements popups. They don’t believe me. That is what the internet was like in the good old days. It has changed a lot since then. Thinking back to my internet days I can’t remember when I started these things and I could probably look them up on the internet but why. I checked out secondlife back when my kid was 3 and now she is 17 so it has been a few years. And I still potter round on secondlife on Sundays when I go to church. It’s a good life. Most things kids take for granted we were at the forefront. My niece was utterly amazed that I was on facebook before her as her dad, my brother is a bit slow when it comes to tech. One of the saddest days of my internet life was when they shut down the alternative health forum I belonged too. I never met any of the people on the forum, but they were my friends. We had some great chats then. Another memorable internet moment was when I was teaching English in China and I was on my favorite online game, and it come up in the chat box ’Bad earthquake in China’ I said ’I was in China and I knew nothing’ there was nothing on the news sites. The game nearly came to standstill as people were trying to find out what was going on, there were condolences in the chat box. We knew it was bad, very bad as a few of the gamers were on site, but we never knew it was that terrible. Then it was back to the game. The internet was the future and I wanted to be a part of it. Next it was time to have a go at online education. I did my Graduate Diploma online, took a couple of years but I finished it. Now that is the way of the future of education, now I am into MOOCs instead of MMOGs.
