- I could meet the most important person in my life
- I can keep in touch with my friends, relatives and clients
I could read books online I could not find in my library or could not afford to buy in a bookstore
- I can follow lectures online whenever I feel like without having to overburden my schedule or budget
- I can learn about things I am interested in a group like this (I have learned a lot here from all of you)
- I can find and listen to music that gives me pleasure
I do not think that I am the only person to have experienced the above mentioned pleasure increasing effects of the internet.
