kara - I think I could do it all - but at this point, probably only in pieces. I'm really excited about online banking, but I also want to maintain an account in a brick-and-mortar bank, at least at first. And I'd love to take classes on the Web - research, interaction and text-based education all in one medium? I think it would be great, not to mention offering the added convenience of being able to do it when I have time (which isn't often).

stumpy - There is too many things that can't be done on the web that I don't feel it possible for one to live on the web.

Friesl - I think It would be only the Net author's dream.It is not so interesting.

NPowless - Yes, I could do it. I would like a virtual future....I don't know about the banking part though.

DT2 - Yes I could very much so live my life on the Web. It is pretty much an integrated part of my life already.

DustiD - Personally I have to go outdoors I couldn't imagine life on the web banking possibly but class what about other people and friends?

Josh48 - The web's great. So's e-mailin' people, but I'd rather hold a book than squint at it on a computer screen. There's a feel and smell, something about the structure of a book that enhances the emotion inspired by the words within the casing. It is likewise with real people, seeing and interacting with them: watching their expressions and hearing their voice. The smell in this case isn't like with books though. Don't go around sniffing people. That's not nice.

JaiGark - My activities, which include "surfing" and interaction on the Web, are too varied to be satisfactorily taken care of by the modem gods. I enjoy too many outside activities (tennis, skiing, reading a good book in the shade on a hot summer day) to live my life in a virtual world. People who want to live on the Web might as well get their brains downloaded into a megacomputer. (Hey -- don't laugh -- it's not that far off.)

CORK - I would live on the web without banking TV and jobs. (I don't have to pay for the net and I am to young for a job)

legman - When you think about how many things have changed in the last 10 years, I imagine that someday it will be the norm to do most of your activities on the web or some other medium like it. Personally, I enjoy visiting the web but don't want to live there. And besides, my right wrist is already giving me problems. I'd have to get a left handed mouse!

murgatroyd - Well, you can even order a pizza on the web now, so YES!!! I could do it for sure!

Dark_Angel - I could live most of my outside life on the web...My interaction with people I didn't need to see would be much easier. It doesn't matter to me. I figure I could do all the things like banking and stuff but never could I be glued to the net for twenty four hours.

truff - I could absolutely do all of those things on the web, I bank now by phone and ATM, I'd love to be able to call my Dr. instead of going to see him for little things, and I shop at least 20% from catalogues. I wish more of the web sites were interactive.

soulmates - no!

tfinnerty - I think it would be pretty cool, except that if so much of our lives were moved onto the Internet, their would be enormous regulations which probably wouldn't be cool.

OlegDrake - I would probably be able to stay on the WWW for 24 hours but no more. any way I think that Internet is one of the coolest things in the world.

baydolph - I think this will be the way of the further where verything is done and work as well will be done from home and education from grade school right up to a doctor's degree in some field's but not medication. This will also will be the way phone calls and conferance's will be done. This will give you more freedom for free time and more. Everthing in the house will be running off of computer's system setup in the home when the house is built.

Dstreet - I want time to spend doing the things I enjoy, not banking or mall shopping. I welcome the web and all its tools that are being developed hopefully to free us from the arduous chores of modren day living. My one reservation is that this technology is not a means to an end but a way for us to overload our lives even more by increasing our committment to work instead of our spirit (family, hobbies, nature).

Rosetta - The web isn't real life, it's an interesting diversion.

Aqualea - Sure! I could stay in this @$!@# chair all day!.....But then again, I don't think it the best idea. Personally, I enjoy being able to accomplish so much in the comfort of my own home. But I also enjoy interacting with other people face to face (& not thru a monitor). It has a lot of pros, but not the most healthy thing.

BahMan - I think that WWW is a creation of a combined geniuses. Right now, I feel like staying on the Web forever, I can trust people on the Web, I can easily do banking, transfers etc... The Web allows me to get all the latest news and correspond with so many people...

peace - Yes I could live on the web more once more tools are available to get around, find info and services

achilles - Live my life on the WEB? Right now my answer would be NO. First, my eyes would go then my fingers, then my money to pay the provider (it costs here $2 per hour).

swarburt - I could not live on the web. It is a useful tool, but not a lot of human contact. Too impersonal.

GrAil1 - I don't think I could do it. One factor would be having no social life. People tend to forget that the web is a recreational activity, not a whole lifestyle. Sure, I have fun on the web, but it is not the center of my life. And on banking and shopping: I would do it the old-fashioned way. It's too possible to get hacked on the web.

undoman - I think the web is like a piece of moldy cheese: it has too many bad spots in it for me to live on it -- that doesn't mean I won't spend up to 12 hours a day on it.

SGold - Yes I could do all those things. A virtual future on the web, could bring lots of possibilities for people around the world. The WWW is a part of my life already. But staying indoors, most of the day, would be a bummer. If they built big computers, outside. That would be awesome.

mackster - Yes I think it is possible and in some cases we are there. I did banking on line (with a computer) when I lived in Holland 4 years ago. Come on America let's catch up. It was great the bills went to the bank I would get on line look at my bills and click on hte ones I wanted to pay. As far as interacting well personally I have a large cyber friends base of folks I would never have met without "the web". I could be there now , but real people are cool to!!!

Clandestine - I have come to find that I can survive cmpletely on the Web. I can order clothing, food, entertainment. Whatever my heart desires. I can send in my workload, download what I need to work on, and communicate with my work via mail. I would never have to leave my house to talk to friends and family, as long as they are online too. The only problem I have with this is that I LOVE the outdoors to much. I don't mind tooling away in front of the computer in the wee hours of the night, finishing up assignments and doing programming, but I need to see the shining sun. I need to feel it reflecting off of my back in the summer. I want the cool breeze that comes out of the riverflow. I just could not survive without leaving the confinements of home and going to experience nature.....

JackDinn - Re: shopping on the web. I reckon that it will be a long long time before people start to REALLY shop on the web. Personally I feel that there is always a certain thrill behind just going into a shop and buying something. Commercialism is materialism, and it really needs the material to get that special satisfaction. Shopping work as a social thing. Webshopping, in my mind, tends to work best in terms of trying to find some rare item that you couldn't get another way. To this end the web works brilliantly, however I can't see the web taking over from shops...

logic - I think you could live on the web easily but I would not want to.Sufing the net is great but sitting in front of the computer all day is not really living.

zstuart - The entire notion of doing most things on the WWW is sort of frightening to me. I already seem to spend too much time here. I do my banking....little shopping, but, I think it is important for me to get out in the REAL world. I have noticed I am using the Internet to sort of hide out. Not very good. If I feel like chatting, I can do that. The prospect of doing almost everything on the web is scary in some way. There is a real world out there too.

TheMadHobbit - Life in the Web is kinder and much less hetic. I think that if I could I would not leave the screen. Only to eat and sleep and do my biz.

Wildcat - I could...only half the day, though. It just seems to me that the internet will be more user friendly, so it would be more like going to work. But the one drawback I will have is that people need to get out and meet people, and be comfortable. The internet needs to be better on speed and security before that will happen.

MeganH - No, With out social interaction with "real" people you couldn't survive. And what about food? Gonna eat cyberdogs?(hotdogs for the slow) just kidding..
