salaam and a very good day to all! (^__^)v
so I dropped my laptop last week, and was not able to connect to the Internet until today.
horror, I know.
I wasn't able to go on Youtube, get updates from friends on Facebook or Twitter, I was so lost without the Internet that I even resorted to watching the television - which I had not done in months, believe me. sure, some things can be done via mobile but when I realized that I wasn't able to update the blog as early as I would like, I even tried updating using my mobile phone but due to these genetically fat fingers, I gave up on the first try.
see what I'm trying to imply here is the fact that we depend too much on the Internet that we sometimes forget the realm of certainty which is the reality.
when was the last time that you fully participate in a face-to-face conversation without glancing at your phone even once? that time has long gone, my friends. getting stripped off the benefit of having super fast wifi even for a few days has taught me a valuable lesson in communication, and in appreciating life as it is. gone were the days where kids used to go out and play with their friends and the only thing that they have to play with is their own imagination. nowadays, kids as young as those in pre-school own their own iPads and wont even interact with other kids for fear of getting dirt on their tshirt. what a shame.
but I must admit, in keeping up with times the Internet play a huge part. and that is why we should always be thankful and always always remember not to drop our laptop at any circumstances.
until next time, toodles~

ReplyDeleteit must be hard for you to not be able go online for a week huh?
glad you have figure that problem out
I wonder how i would be if I were in your place. >.<
Maybe it was the most suitable time for you to isolate yourself from this world and start thinking of how to cure this ever sickening era.
ReplyDeleteokay, this is so idealistic
I agree with Jannah, to be honest. I mean you got to let go sometimes, this happened to me once too. Instead of being miserable as I hoped, I was actually enjoying it. I had more time to talk to my parents, friends even watch the news. It felt like "Wow, I have so much time to spend with myself!" I like it and I enjoy an internet free day sometimes...
ReplyDeleteand believe it or not, in that Internet-free week, I managed to assemble a shelf and mounted up a mirror that requires drilling all by myself. hurrah! ^^
ReplyDeletezero distraction = productivity!
