I've been getting into research...now with one and a half College English Research courses under my belt, I've been pondering what I could be interested in researching on my own accord (on my own, free of any time constraints and during the summer no doubt). I believe I've decided to focus my efforts on the one place I know most about, Internet/Computers. Computers being my passion, I know that there can be a fine line between usage and obsession. I hope to delve into the psychological aspects (while not really dealing much with an erudite development) and the physical aspects as well as, with my own experience, the reasons why there is that initial draw to the computer versus human-human interaction and how it can turn to addiction. This decision is at a time when I'm quite in control of my computer usage and I have heavily diluted it's addicting properties (the Lenten season). I shall end this post with a couple questions, I would enjoy any responses you all might have, and I shall open up comments to everyone: Could the world survive without computers? If it could, would it be a better place, or one of worse proportions?
PS: I really don't like asking "what if" questions, but for research purposes, it is somewhat necessary. Again, your thoughts are quite welcomed.
