Yesterday I was thinking about how dependent we are on the Internet. Especially when our work depends on it.
What would you do if you couldn't access it for a whole week?

I'd probably start a support group for fellow Internet-deprived souls. We could bond over writing letters with actual pens and... gasp... talking face-to-face!
Who knows, we might even discover this ancient thing called "outside." π

@konok_nazmul that one is good! :DD This would have never come to my mind. :D π Pretty accurate. I think that I would be outside most of the time, trying some sports or so. :D
tried it and was amazing. went on an off the grid scuba diving trip, had no cell signal. forgot about everything for a week. realized how attached we are to our phones. felt actually less stressed, slept better
minimalist phone: creating folders
@hussein_hashish Actually, I remember one of those times when I travelled to a place where no signal was. It was peace. No problems, only me, nature, my friend and talk about everything until 3 AM.
@busmark_w_nika Absolutely! everyone's in the moment. no one is on their phones. a detox which I've been consistently doing once year for quite some time

@hussein_hashish yeah, quite nostalgic. (-:

I'd not read books, definitely! π
I'd instead play offline games! π

@hosseinyazdi ach, I totally those games I used to play as a child π« π
As someone deeply immersed in the tech world, losing internet access for a week would be quite the challenge! I'd probably dust off some old books, work on offline projects, and perhaps finally learn that ukulele sitting in the corner. Who knows, maybe we'll discover a whole new world beyond the digital realm! πππΈ

@thestarkster hah, to learn to play an instrument is cool. Friends of mine wanted to learn to playing guitar but somehow... I wasn't able :D

Unbelievable, maybe I will be crazy π

@darren_chen We can visit the sanatorium together then. :D
@busmark_w_nika Good idea. lol
Books! They're all waiting for me, calling, whispering my name π₯Έ

@sasha_buratynskyi The best book you have read so far?
@busmark_w_nika actually Lord of the Rings trilogy, if you we talk about the best. The most useful is
"Diary of a stoic. 366 questions to yourself" Holiday Ryan
And you?)
minimalist phone: creating folders
@sasha_buratynskyi I liked this one https://www.amazon.com/Virgin-Wa... :-) by Richard Branson
@busmark_w_nika great one, inspirational
I'd be at the beach, reading books and drinking mimosas π
or being busy looking for wifi lol
minimalist phone: creating folders
@avital_trifsik I had to google mimosas :D Any recommendations for the most beautiful beach? :-)
@busmark_w_nika Paradise Beach in El-Nido Philipines

Talk to people in cafΓ©s. I am sure someone is up for a chat, another coffee and maybe a walk on the beach after that. Next day: Do it again. Can't imagine this not being joyful.
minimalist phone: creating folders
@madeleine_schulze yeah, walk and talk, no internet, only people and real life. <3
then i go in my family

@kathleen_smith2 offline reconnection :D we will be searching for them in the telephone directory. Like in the gold 90-ties era.

Without the internet as a distraction, I'd probably spend more time experiencing nature by going for hikes, bike rides, visiting parks or the beach. It's a chance to unplug and get some exercise.

Iβd freak no.1 and then Iβd still figure out how to continue working on the project. Coding can happen without the internet, I can still design, I can still work on marketing and I can still make videos and edit them all without the internet.

@imran_razak if you have this skill, no doubt. But TBH, many things I learned thanks to YouTube and the internet is needed then :-)
