Theme of the week… no internet

I usually don’t respond to the theme of the week as much as I used to, but I decided to give this one a try:

Do you think that you could live the rest of your life without the Internet? How would you imagine that it would be like?

Usually, this is how I also feel whenever OD crashes.

Seriously, I would miss the internet a great deal if it went away. I have a lot of people that I enjoy communicating with over the net, I use skype to say goodnight to my children most nights. It does so many awesome things that I wouldn’t be able to do without it.

It would suck to have no internet, but I would survive. I could still write my books and poetry without it, but my blog/journal/diary here on OD has been a life line for me that I would miss a great deal.

I’ve have written a lot of entries here since I joined in the year 2000, and I plan to write many, many more in the years to come. This is my favourite site on the internet, by far. It’s the first one I check in the morning when I wake up and the last one I check before I head for bed. Every dime I have handed over to get the OD+ features has been money well spent.

But getting back to the topic, I think the internet is amazing. If someone forced me to choose between dumping my cable TV or the internet, TV would be the first to go. The internet provides much more mental stimulation, I would be lost without it. I’m sure there are many here on this site that would agree with me 100%.

The thing is, I had a childhood and a great deal of my adulthood without the Internet, cell phones, cable TV, eReaders, microwave opens, and all we take for granted today, and I wouldn’t want to give up any of them…

RYN: RYN: As someone who’s also been cheated on, and someone who’s done the cheating. I see both sides of my argument. I would never mean to hurt him, or any guy I am with. But my feelings are conflicted in terms of what he’s giving me and what I want. Honesty is great in theory, but in reality I honestly want to have my boyfriend and **** around with other guys too. Which is impossible.

ryn (cont’d): I’ve tried being honest, and aside from getting into big fights he’s not much for showing emotions or letting me even know what he’s feeling. I am at a dead end with this conflict. But I very much appreciate your note. Thanks! 🙂 And I think if the internet was down, there would be mass rioting throughout America! 😛
