    Default The Internet is Broken

    Oh no! The Internet is broken and can't be fix... at all.

    If this really happened, what would you do if all of the sudden, the Internet stops working for everyone? I know it's not really possible, but the chances are quite slim or unexisting. Well, if the Net was indefinitely down, how would you spend your time that you used to use online?

    As for me, I might as well use the newfound freetime to do stuff I used to love, and I might even have more time to do other things as well. And most of all, I won't be able to stay up late like I do now, so I also get the chance to sleep "on time" xD

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Holy crap, don't SCARE me like that. I wouldn't get to talk to all you fine folks anymore.

    I would probably sit around. That, or play more video games. I would probably sleep a LITTLE more, but not that much. No matter what time I go to bed, if it was my choice I'll wake up at 11.

    I'd use the phone more.

    I would drop out of school. Library? Pfft.

    I would spend all of my time sleeping, reading, and drawing.

    I would be forced to socialize in real life. And use the phone to talk to people.

    And I'd probably send mail to BoB, considering he's the only person from here whose address I know. :D And from him, I'd get other people's addresses, and harass you all through the mail! :D

    Although BoB's address has probably changed, since he moved.

    I'd go out and find some real friends that have bodies and independent thoughts. Heh. Just kidding. I'd probably spend a hell of a lot more time with my family, a significant amount of time reading and studying, lots of time driving and a substantial amount of time eating for boredom.

    In other words - I'd adapt.

    If you used my Scotland address, you'll be fine - I've only had one address over here. I still have your hair.

    I'd use the phone a lot and I'd probably write to a few people too. I'd watch a lot of cricket. I'd spend my money on more cable channels. I don't think I'd spend that much time on video games, given that I get bored of them so fast and couldn't download new ones every day.

    I'd also listen to the radio a lot more and actually BUY music. xD

    Run away to <s>Jersey Wisconsin Utah Arazona</s> Florida. >_>
    Then more people could call me with their nation-wide long distance, too. Awesome.

    Every so often I'd ring Daniel or Aaron and excitedly exclaim that the internet was back up and running

    Same thing I do when the internet service goes down at the tech shop--fix it.

    Even if the whole internet was gone, worldwide, I would be fixing it.

    You would spend hours doing almost every little bit of the work, like 99% of it or something, and then Scottie or Unne would come along and do the last little bit that you forgot and get all the credit.
