GabrielT Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 So I just moved to a new place and I haven't decided if I can afford the internet yet. 22 days without easy to access internet have given rise to a few things. I clean the house. I am often bored and long for the internet. And most of all I seem to be getting more stuff done than usual. That reminds me that I need to get pictures of my motorcycle on here when I am done painting it and generally fixing it up. The cheapest internet available to me is $40 a month. I am posting from the library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedCrazy Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 He is right though. We had a 2 day power outage last week, or was it two weeks ago... anyway after i got done moping about not being able to game or tinker with my web design stuff i settled down and did an awful lot of work, would have taken me a couple of days to do it with power and internet but without, well i had nothing else to do.

imm0rt41 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Without Internet I work on my cars...really, it just means I have to think more instead of looking up info on forums and stuff. I would hate it if the Internet went away forever because then I would be dumb as hell lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotdamojo06 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I remember when I first bought my current house...man oh man! I went about two weeks without the internet (didnt want to buy it) and was occasionally "borrowing it" from houses near me...the speeds that people had were soo slow! It was a blessing however because I was able to get a bunch of stuff around the new house setup, like my TV and all the painting done and everything else. Most of the painting I did do before I actually moved in but there was a little left over after I decided to move my stuff in. Ended up going with Comcast and its like 50$ a month for their best internet which give me up to 20Mbps download and does include basic...and I mean basic cable...like channels 2-14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 When without internet I tend to get a lot more done that I've been meaning to do - like projects, read books, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmineral Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 There's no way I could do it, I can however go without any TV, I never watch it as it is really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdamojo06 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 There's no way I could do it, I can however go without any TV, I never watch it as it is really. neither do I...only thing I use my TV for is watching movies be it on Netflix, DVD, or BluRay... 42" Plasma with surround sound beats the 30" with 2.1 speaker setup...oh and a comfy couch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I would be even more unproductive without internet. Perfect example is last Saturday. Cable line went out, so no internet or TV. You know what I did? Watched "Tucker and Dale vs Evil" Watched some TV shows from HDD Watched a CCENT video Slept the rest of the day Watched "Hung" Season 1 and half of Season 2 all night I did one thing productive that entire day. Usually what I do everyday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Sadly I always have internet (phone, or tethering my phone to desktop/laptop) If you have a smartphone, I suggest tethering! Just if you're not sprint don't do serious downloading that will pop your 5GB crap cap. I can control myself if I need to get something done, but I definitely have even greater motivation when there is NO temptation of internet. There's no way I could do it, I can however go without any TV, I never watch it as it is really. Yeah I really wished we'd cancel other TV, we have Netflix and I usually just output movies from my laptop. I never watch TV anymore, just USE the TV as a monitor. I know my house wont have a house phone nor cable television Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
