If you couldn't use the internet for a year, what would you do instead?

 I flatter myself to think that I would actually write something.  Maybe a full-length original play.  Or a novel.  Or a poem, even though I hate writing poetry.  I would barricade myself in my room, with only a large stack of loose leaf paper, a cup full of my favorite black ink Bic pens, a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk.  And I wouldn't come out until I had finished something.  I'd have my cell phone with me in this daydream of mine, so I could call downstairs to have my family bring me new peanut butter once I run out. 

Goodness knows I would get my homework done on time, early even.  THAT would be shocking, for sure.

I would definitely go to the library more often, because if I needed to do research but was unable to use the Internet, I would need access to a wide variety of books.  Although it'd be horribly inconvenient since periodicals have become more widely available online.  On the bright side, I could do my research and searching the old fashioned way.

I might go a little insane because as it stands now, I check my Facebook WAY too frequently.  It's probably unhealthy the amount of time I spend playing Mafia Wars and thinking up witty status updates.  But it would definitely be good for my health and sanity if I could sever my dependence on Facebook.  Although it would be really sad to lose touch with any of the people I talk to via Facebook...maybe after that Internet-less year is over I can limit my Facebook time to once a week.  Or once every three days.  Okay, maybe once every day.

Just think of the massive amount of reading I would get done...every list of books that I've wanted to read...I could finish them all in the course of a single year.  All because the Internet monopolizes so much of my time.  Damn.

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
