Is the internet getting "boring" for you guys?

More and more, I find less and less to do online. I don't Facebook, Twitter, or whatever else is considered (anti) "social media."

I check my email, read through the news, sometimes look on/bid on Ebay, check the weather, and that's about it. I've even found youtube to be boring.

I haven't done anything with my truck since November so I haven't been here much.

What about you guys?

Same with me ...I used to could spend hours on the net....now just a few minutes a day...once you get to the end of the net there's nowhere else to go....but that's a good thing.....at least I ain't sitting on my butt....

Re: Is the internet getting "boring" for you guys?

The internet? Nah, I have so many projects I enjoy posting pics and looking up how to do stuff, order parts, ect.

What I am tired of is social media. I basically only use facebook to post pics for my family now and see what they're up to.

Re: Is the internet getting "boring" for you guys?

In some ways yes and other ways never. I'll never get tired of finding myself curious about a thing and looking up what I can learn about it. This site is 90+% of my internet use. Not as much going on these days, so spend less time getting through it. I look at real estate in areas I'd like to live, every now and then look at trucks for sale on several sites. The internet isn't boring. Not having the money to buy what I see is, though.

Re: Is the internet getting "boring" for you guys?

Almost everything I do on here is truck related. I look at this site, pirate, and a s10 forum and occasionally Craigslist to look at trucks I can't afford. I used to only watch YouTube it was basically my cable television. But got burned out on that after almost everyone drags their videos out for 10 minutes and 3 seconds to get max as revenue
