What was your life like before the Internet?

Unluckiest Charm in the Box
After sitting here thinking feveriously about how my life has changed so dramatically over the years, I cannot even begin to tell you how much this blastd computer device that I am typing on has changed my life ....

Before the internet I ...

Would read almost constantly. I had disciplined myself to buy at least one novel every payday, and would give myself two weeks to read it....

Would spend a lot more time socializing "face to face" with people instead of sitting on my butt typing in forums as I am doing right now...

Would actually take the time to go to the mall and LOOK for what I wanted instead of relying on eBay or Amazon...

Would spend more time exercising and travelling about " like to the library for research" instead of searching for everything on-line.

Would actually go to the movies or watch television instead of watching everything on youtube or DVD's that are played on my computer.

Would take time to listen to the music stereo in my living room instead of headphones attached to this computer tower...


In only a matter of a few short years, I have unknowingly allowed this device that I am sitting in front of, to turn me into nothing short of a "semi-zombie".

This truly is not good.....


And sadly its not just this computer. I have allowed gadgets to interact with almost every part of my once social life. When Im not in front of this screen, I am either on that blasted cellphone (which is nothing more than a miniturized version of this P.C.) or I am at work typing my butt off.


I have two television sets and three stereo systems that have not been used in so long that they actually have a wall of dust settled on them...


Its like the more time I spend in front of this monitor, the less sociable I have become with others. This blasted screen has practically dominated everything that I once enjoyed elsewhere.....and I am really starting to hate it!!


I think its time to make an attempt to get back to my old roots again and leave both," this computer and cellphone" alone for a while!!


I think I will go out to eat tonight, in a nice sit-down family restaurant for a change... and leave me cell at home!

Preach on, star guard. I too long to return to simpler roots, but the power of the internetz is strong. I only made it a few months the last time. Keep up the good fight.
 
I HAD ALOT OF SEX and drugs with loose women.
Just like I do with the internet.
 
Last night under a clear night sky, I sat under the Full "Super Moon", eating Chinese moon cakes and enjoyed the view

Haven't done that in a very long time :(
 
Probably sleeping and doing lots of drugs, I dont really remember 'before the internet'
 
You know if you teach a man to fish he will eat for a lifetime starboy.
You dont just give people answers; part of the nature of discovery is striving to arrive at those answers yourself.
