I LOVE the internet.
The reason I love the internet is because through it I have loads of WORLDWIDE friends that I would not have without it.
If I did not have the Internet....
I would not have become a die-hard tennis fan
I would not have travelled to Hannover and Met Sara
Sara and I met at an Internet Stand through that Chance Meeting, both checking message boards at the same time. She then said those Magic words....
I am looking for someone to travel to the USA with me? Would you like to come? Marcus was with me in Hannover - he told me to go.
SO - because of the Internet - I went to the USA with a stranger for 3.5 weeks. I discovered an Argentinian Tennis player by accident. I also had the world open up at my feet.
I now have friends ALL over the World. I have friends in South America, Australia, Switzerland, Hungary, Macedonia, UK, France, Austria, Germany, Canada, USA, Hawaii, ALL over the world, most of who I have also met and strengthened the friendships at each meeting. All of these friendships are not possible without the Internet.
So.... a British Quiet Country Mouse has changed into a Globe-trotting World-wide Friend-Collector - who also managed to kick a potentially famous TV Presenter off the Internet too....
All this would not be possible without the Internet.
If I had a wish.... it would be for the Internet to help stop the pathetic racism in the world. ALL People are individuals - regardless of what Country they live in. Every single Person in the World can make a difference to their lives - and every single Person in the world is unique. Racist people are narrow-minded and they need to wake up and realise there is a whole wide world out there. Go out and discover it!
