Do you ever take long breaks from the internet?

I recently spoke about this in the org chatroom but does anyone here ever take long breaks away from the internet? I once got into some drama a few years ago and I went 2 weeks straight without internet.It wasn't bad at all after day 3.Kinda felt like I was back in 1998 though

I think it's a good idea.

I think we could all use a bit of time away from the internet. Never tried it myself though... at least not for that long.

Sometimes I'll log off before dinner and not get on until the next day.

if you're not registered on Facebook or Twitter or any Social Site or any Dating Site then the internet is not your friend...That's pretty much how it goes...

Some people use the internet to Shop and that's it...

What are we animals?

Just stay away from loser sites like Facebook and it's the best thing in the world.

I am about to move and will be off the computer for a few weeks while I move and get new service set up. I am interested to see how I feel once I walk away. I did away with my television not long ago and am so thankful I did! I come on the Prince org and I need my Ebay (where I get all my incense and candles and things for a much better price) but I think beyond that, I could do without it.

Yes I do and it's a beautiful thing. Twice a year my husband and I go on vacation. We leave all phones, laptops, tablets - EVERYTHING at home. We absolutely love not communicating with anyone while we're on vacation. I always leave our contact info with my sister incase of an emergency, but otherwise, we are on vacation and not available for blah, blah, blah on the internet.

No, I don't take breaks from the phone, or the news or any other thing that's become a part of daily life, but the goofing off part of any of that, yeah I take a break from.

Exactly. It’s just a part of modern life. Work, family, bills, everything today revolves around it. That’s just the way it is.

Yep! A true vacation is also a vacation from the internet!

I do take breaks from the Internet, and now I will be taking a break from the Internet for free time, due to starting an internship.

For most people not living in ...i can’t even imagine what where, the internet is like paved roads and running water.
On the contrary I worry that one day it will go down and in this age, cause a catastrophic emergency. Everything depends on the internet more and more. As a society we really can’t go back.

I just think goofing off is goofing off, that's not limited to the internet though.

He avoids phones for days. Who does that? I mean, really, what is he a hermit?

A sane person who wants to remain that way.
