AGF is pretty much the only thing I use the internet for. I do not buy anything (I have never used Amazon even once, for example). I will look up something specific when I need to, but I log everything and over a month I average about 9 minutes a day. And it is very common that I will not be on-line at all for four or five days.
I worked in the tech field for years (being a network specialist and tcpip wiz). When I retired I went offline completely for three years. No internet whatsoever. I did not miss it.
I do not do social media in any form as I do not see any need for it. I do not consider AGF social media. Forums have a history going back to dirt. I suppose one could argue that forums are social media, but they do not seem that way to me. But if AGF IS social media, then my connection is in minutes, not hours.
I can not see me entering any other forum. I see no need. But it will be a while before I drop AGF. It is one of the best managed forums I have ever come across. Tek-Tips back in the day was pretty good, but now that I am no longer really a techie, I never go there.
