No internet forever!
- Thread starter Nebulous
- Start date
Work on my jeep. Spend lots of time in the library researching stuff. Mock the phone company because without internet cell phones won't work and they'd be forced to go back to land lines and payphones. Then proceed to phreak the system like a force of nature until they turned the net back on.
The majority of my time at home is spent online, hahaha....all the stuff you do already!
As much as I love forums and websites and the internet in general, and the way it acts as a library of all of mankind's knowledge, I do absolutely admit having unmitigated access to internet at such a young-age likely hurt my development in other fields (i.e. social skills, causing me to develop personality disorders, and anxiety). However, like Pandora's box, I don't believe removing the internet from the variable would fix anything now. I'm better, mostly, and becoming better every day, fixing problems I thought would always be there. Thus, with that in mind, with no internet forever, I imagine I'd have much less purpose than I do now - and a lot more physical media.
Well to be fair, those who grew up in the previous generation had to deal with the same problems due to staying home playing video games all day and watching cable TV. People struggling with social skills, personality disorders and social anxiety is nothing new. A generation or two (who never had access to the internet) still spent all their time indoors. At least the internet provides some sort of social interaction with other humans (via forums, instant messaging, chat rooms, social media, etc). Those who just played those primitive video games and watched TV had zero human interaction and were even more socially stunted.
I will go to the gym. I enjoy keeping fit so going to the gym will be my next action once the internet is switched off forever.
Go back to work .. lol

Interesting answers. Most people I know get mad when it goes down at work when they're in the middle of doing shit lol.
Being an old fart I grew up in the days before there was such a thing as internet and computers were things that filled a large room with steel cabinets.
I'd probably get out my easel and start painting again. Not that I've got any great talent but I can usually knock out a passable picture.
