If you didn't have internet for a whole week, what would you do? ๐
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?

Talk to people in cafรฉs. 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.

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
@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
I'd be at the beach, reading books and drinking mimosas ๐
or being busy looking for wifi lol
Oh I'd be flying my drones all week! ๐

@busmark_w_nika I didn't haha. I cannot trick my brain to romanticize having no internet, but it could be cute to try.
I actually experienced it and what I did was very simple I watched a series and movie all week and it was quite refreshing.
@busmark_w_nika Harry Potter is my all-time favorite. I was planning on rewatching the movies again since it's been so long, but I'm short on time nowadays, so it's on pause or I would've watch Your Lie in April (It's a Anime season).
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." ๐
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! ๐๐๐ธ
@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?)
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.
Reading books, touching grass, watching clouds, ideating and planning... Wait... Actually, this sounds like a perfect vacation week!
I would be super productive. I know because I always am when I'm on an airplane or places with no internet connection.
I'd read, write blog posts, write code and overall plan a lot of stuff with no distraction!
