How would you use your spare time? How would your life be different?
Just a thought experiment... |

| By the end of the year I would probably have made at least two or three albums' worth of music. Like Meat187, I would also probably have much better grades. |

Oh, and I certainly would have finished the couple of short stories I'm working on and possibly even written a novel.
Seriously, I should just cancel my connection. :wtf:
Also, the time I spend on the net is directly proportional to the work I have to do. Anybody else notice that? |

I would be buying several different newspapers, calling friends more, have better grades, and make a lot more music. Definitely would be going outside more too.
That sounds so awesome when you put it that way, but I could not give up the amount of information transfer that the Internet provides. |

Of course. The Internet is the ultimate in procrastination aids. |

I know, I'm addicted to the information flow, too. I think humans are wired to get pleasure from social information, which is what the net provides. It's really just a little trickle of pleasure, IMO, but it's just enough to keep me hooked. I have tried to cut myself off for a couple weeks before and I feel "deprived" in some way. |

But when you think about, do you really need information about guys in Florida setting each other on fire or how Slylee's bf bought new shoes? |
