Tagged: No More Internet?
This question has been on many people's lips recently. What would happen if the Internet would suddenly cease to exist?
The first and obvious answer would be: you would not be reading this. For the rest of this post, let's pretend we're penpals and you got this in the mail. Since this is about my take on this modern day apocalypse, I'll go on by saying I'll also be out of a job. Also, the browser wars.. would be over!!
With the extra amount of time, I'd get back in shape, guitar-wise. Less or no time spent in front of the computer means having all the time in the world to me. I'd also get to having those wet dreams I was talking about earlier this year. I might even get laid! Oh, and I'd start calling snail mail, mail and mail, email again.
I would probably earn my living working as a farmer, which would become the equivalent of today's coder. Can you picture me with overalls and a checkered shirt on? Straw hat and all? Sexy, I know. I could even look into the possibility of becoming a professional smoker, but I still think the world is not ready for that one yet. I'd start reading in public again, since everyone would be doing it, I suppose.
I'd also remember what it's like being alone again -- and I mean that in a good way -- seeing how I can't keep in touch with people without using the Internet. I'd also start noticing small offline details again. Like people talking to me or girls smiling at me. Or that I have fourteen cats living in my house. I'd definitely play with my dogs more often. I'd spent way more time in the garden, eating fruit right out the tree.
Best part yet? I'd get to finally fix my unhealthy sleeping habits.
Now, this is a tag. Anda was curious to see what a geek would do if the Internet went 404. The fun part about this tag was that I actually got to thinking how much time I actually do spend either online or on my lappy. My findings call for immediate action. So maybe this tag will do Ovi, John Resig and Jon Hicks some good as well.
