I never considered myself as an internet addict, i mean at least i’m not taking photos every meal and post them on instagram or facebook, checking WhatsApp or facebook every five minutes or so. I also don’t play online games nor watch TV shows so often.
But then here comes the day that i just lost my phone and the wifi at my home didn’t work at all, not long, just for couple of hours on Sunday alone at home. I can’t use facebook, read new, felt like totally isolated from the world. As i said i don’t use them so much but when the moment i realized i am disconnect i felt so isolated even i wasn’t checking news or chatting with someone when i was connected.
Yet the feeling of disconnected just stroke me hard. After an hour of relentlessly restarted computer and router i eventually accepted the fact that it’s not gonna work. So I thought it would be a good chance to slow down so i turned on the old songs which i saved on my computer years ago instead of youtube, read the book i bought some months ago instead of the online news and article. However, I was never able to concentrate at all, felt so bored doing the same thing as i used to do. I started to play the built in games in computer, the little dinosaur game on Chrome. I just couldn’t stop trying to reconnect time to time.
After doing everything offline i could think of, i realized it has been just half an hour… The Sunday evening was always so short for me, with the thought of enjoying the last chill time before Monday comes i always spent some time on watching some funny videos, reading online, watching movies, chatting with friends, with internet i always had like a thousand things to do and time went so fast, and yet tonight… Without internet i felt like the time goes so slow… for the couple of hours on Sunday night which was never enough to entertained myself, i read, i listened to all the old songs, looked in all the old photos, I wrote again, this article.
I am not sure if someone is ever gonna read it, but if you do, i dare you to try to spend a day completely without internet. It may not be fun, but it’s some uniq experience for sure.
