When I went on a two week vacation to Hawaii last February, I figured I'd be online at least once a day (I was staying with family who had net access). I logged on once, and that was it. I missed not really knowing what was going on with parts of the news that interested me, but other than that, I was fine. Similarly, when I was without cable TV for a month, I was fine with it. But when it's there, I use it constantly.
What I can't figure out is how the hell I got through high school. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what I did for procrastination. I learned to juggle and I learned how to flip a fedora in the air and have it land correctly on my head. I must have juggled little bean-bags for weeks straight...christ.
My senior year of high school, I got my first modem (2400 baud) and some of us would meet on AOL...but it was extremely slow (duh) and the lines were busy 90% of the time after 6 PM. Ahh, the memories....how did I really, really live without the internet?
