Nowadays going on your computer at home and using the internet is just something you do. It’s natural, you don’t really think “wow how lucky am I today, I get to use the internet!”.
But could you imagine your life at home without the internet?
This week I didn’t have the internet Thursday evening, all day Friday and it is “working one minute, not working the next” as I speak right now on Saturday afternoon. It’s only been one full day, and two halve days – but that is enough time for me without the internet.
So I don’t feel right not having the internet for 48hrs, what about you? How long could you last? First it depends on your use of the internet, here are a few ideas I have came up with so you can survive if you lose your connection.
Here are some survival tips for each kind of web user!
- Info Junkies – go the library perhaps, buy every newspaper and magazine on topics you like? Be prepared, the info will be there, it just won’t feel the same.
- Video Mentalists – you know who you are! You go on youtube every day to watch the latest funny videos and enjoy “adult entertainment”, but TV just isn’t the same. The only way to survive is watch the videos saved on your harddrive.
- MSN Chitter Chatters – time to pick up the phone, or go round your mates, or text people. Easy that one!
- Social Media People – the way you use the internet and click from website to website in seconds just cannot be replaced. No more facebook, no more digging. There is no hope for you my friend.
- Shopaholics – for those of you who can’t stop visiting Amazon and going “oooh that CD is on offer, it’s only $5, definitely buy that” it is time to either stop spending so much online or just get your backside down to the store.
- Flickr Groupies – all you need is some food birds like, a digital camera and a warm coat. Outside you go, take photos till you fall asleep! Wait till you get the internet back and upload those amazing pics.
- The Rest Of You – you obviously only go on the internet for a bit of everything so I’m sure you’ll survive just fine.
So there you have it, if your internet is down for a few days just find out your profile above and take the appropriate action! By the way – if you do find yourself with no internet connection, brace yourself!
