I am proud to say that none of my days in life so far have been anything similiar to that XKCD.

I mean..at least I got out of the covers.

But seriously...I mean..what did people do before Internet ever existed?

I know it Internet has LOADS AND LOADS of advantages...but...

Not exactly a down thing because it has its many benefits too is that the internet lacks substance.

As an example, people - if someone drops off, unless you know the person in real life, you will not know what happened. Did the person suddenly have a heart attack and die? did they get bored? maybe you offended them? maybe they were kidnapped?

It is all temporal and in flux, lacking in substance. unless you purchase something, then you actually have it arrive (unless you got conned).

depends on 'if you have a life' lol if your life just involves playing game watching movies and working the 12 hour shift then yup internet csan suck the life out of you.

But internet is a part of daily routine and theres nothing wrong with that like you use it daily to talk to friends,fb,news,youtube etc etc

i personally dont use the net all the day long during term time because the only time i get is in the evenings to use it. but during holidays its different get more time to use it and it can actually drain you lol

before internet ...people watched loads of tv, maybe went cinema more, wrote letters rather than email and talked more on the phone rather than msn/IM

It depends on the individual tho some people just prefer to stay at home and not go out and send time on the net or tv etc ,,,and then on the other hand you get people who cant go the day without stepping out the house < which is the more health alternative Lol
