The internet has been a
major part of my life for the past 5 years , I’ve learned many things, created
my blog, connected with friends family and interesting people thank you to
facebook and twitter… but after a long time using the net you thing that you need
a small break, lets say an internet detox…
Over the past year I was
trying to take 48 hours off the internet unsuccessfully!
48 hours of not being plugged,not tweeting, messaging or
Googling. How was I going to do it? I am addicted to the internet, it’s where I
work, live and get inspiration…
So here is a summary of how
I spend my time away from the internet
or the benefit of unplugged internet
- Taking a small break from
my work
- Reading a real newspaper
- Watching the news to stay
updated
- Spending my time on the
beach
- Making calls and taking
pictures with my smartphone
- Sending SMS instead of
tweeting
- Reading my favorite books.
- Using my big dictionary
- Eating and cooking more
- Watching TV more
At the end of the day, I know that I will be back to the
internet where everyone else is. We dedicate so much of our time
in front of our screens and we need
sometimes to take a break and realize that there is real life happening. We don’t
want to miss it while tweeting…
The thing that is bothering me the most is that my email inbox is already at 88 unopened emails...
