Okay, it's time for me to find out what I would actually do in a year without Internet. And also without any TV or DVDs, since I don't want to simply replace my Internet time with those. I'm not sure what the heck I'm going to fill the time with, but this year will certainly be a bit different than the last few.
I'll see you guys next at 2:46 PM Central U.S. time on March 23, 2010. Good luck to everyone in the meantime.
["Yeah, right," you might be saying. "He'll be back within a week or two."]
Well, maybe. Time will tell I suppose. Regardless, see you later. :) |

:wtf:
You're going to create a rip in the space-time continuum!
I'd be interested in this experiment too, actually, except I'd do away with computers altogether (that would make it kind of hard to do any work though), my mobile phone and my television. Even though I enjoy the benefits of technology, I often feel like it clutters modern life to the point of distraction, and that to do away with it would lead to a much clearer head day to day and more motivation to actually start "living", rather than experiencing life through a screen. |

I don't think I can give up the Internet. I'd happily give up the forums and what-not, but I have commitments to online projects and I have friends living in other cities I can only really talk to via the Internet. It's important for my university work and I imagine it will be important for whatever job I get afterwards.
Giving up TV was very easy though. I haven't had a TV in three years of university and now when I go back home I'll sit on the sofa and think "Right, it's time to catch up on some TV time", flick through the channels and turn it off after five minutes. I only watch it for sports, and half the time I go to the pub for that anyway. |

You should ask people who quit TA.
I would be mixing much and much better. But I would get bored easily, I find all my music online, be it Beatport, CDs on Discogs or sets I download. |

Yeah, I completely forgot how important the Internet is to me for finding music. Without it I'd be limited to what the local music shops stock, which is a pretty poor selection. |

| Sit around doing nothing, suddenly get a brilliant idea, devise projects, get motivated about executing them, realize I don't know how to do anything without asking google first, go back to sitting and doing nothing. |

Agreed. My major is computer engineering, it would be suicide to remove the internet from my life. |

| it would be weird, not being able to get good sports news, hockey scores, get messages to family in other time zones, definitely music since most of what I listen to is either livesets from TAs or from stuff I buy online to mix myself. On the other side, i'd just be spending a fortune texting people to arrange things, and buying stuff would be a pain, I like to order it in and if necessary to the local store to go pick it up, there is a lot of stuff we use the net for which whilst ultimately unnecessary is definitely useful. |

This thread reminds me that Lira quit a while ago.
Who is going to do lengthy philosophizierizering threads now that JiveBoJingles and Lira are gone? |
