I was without internet one time and it felt good. I realized how many other things I could actually do instead of wasting time on the internet.
Tv and radio can tell you the news/weather. It's not exactly important to know when that album is coming out. I have enough downloads/dvds/tv shows to last a long long time.
It sucks to be without a certain online game at times, but maybe it's good to cut back on gaming? I dunno, as I get older I find the internet less appealing. Gaming too.
