<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 754299, member: 4552"]AAHHHH, yes the internet. Read a book? Are you mad? Where are you anyway? Why just ask any kid how many books they read. Ask any kid if they want something, anything, what do they do? Why they run to a computer and type in a question. But you say don't they still use books in school? Almost NO. Check out how many schools have computers today. How many Libraries have computers. Go to a library and you'll see more people on the computers than reading or looking at a ......., now what was that thing again? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:hail:</p><p>All kidding aside if you stop and think about it those that do that are actually better off I suspect.
