Internet Deprivation
« on: September 23, 2004, 08:11:48 pm »
Okay here was an interesting post, there was a test that was conducted by Yahoo and they found out that like 90% of the people couldn\'t even fuction without their internet activities and others couldn\'t do daily activities like pay bills, book airplane flights or hotels, and such...

I guess it just shows how reliant we are on the internet. I mean whose to say how the internet will change tomorrow or the day after or the day after that.

Anyways about me, I\'d go crazy without two days of using the internet. Hehe I guess I wouldn\'t last a very long time if the world plummeted into another dark age. Or a power outtage for that matter.

I go without it for weeks at a time when necessary, no harm done, but I don\'t have to pay bills...
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

If there was something else to do I\'d have no problems... but I usually can\'t find anything else to do :)

I only use the internet to for little things like games, PS (not really a game to me, more an additction), programming, Email, Weather, News, Chatting, Working with my editors, as a dictionary, as an Atlas, to view satelite photos of my house :), hmmm. Yea, where would I be without all that.
No wait, I would be spending time with my family and getting my school work done on time.
The Internet and World Wide Web are great arn\'t they. :D

To tell you the truth, I wouldn\'t have a problem without the internet.  There is more than one way to skin a cat of course.  The internet is a crutch used by people lacking a quality or two.  All of technology is a crutch, but I don\'t believe in taking the easy way out most times.
