About 10 years ago I had a Venus Ocular Occlusion basically a blood vessel ruptured in my left eye.  I lost the upper left quadrant of vision in that eye.  Out of curiosity I looked up the condition on the internet. On a reputable site I found the following as a the first sentence. "90% of the people with this condition are dead in one year."  Now I had a weak blood vessel in one eye and I was a member of the lucky 10%.  But I had some bad moments till I figured that out.

Yes, with all the spammers, phishers, and hackers,the internet can overwhelm one quite readily.            

On the brighter side though, the whole universe is opened up for one so interested.


I've been spammed and hacked, but do manage to overcome and survive.   

Even 'ihatedialysis' is on the internet, yes!   

My blog while boring in some or (ha) many respects, offers many of my actual life experiences, is on the internet.       

Yes, can easily become data overload.   
 
I welcome it (internet) and use what commonsense I have left, and cherry pick the rest.
