No Internet Week

No internet for a week

Having no internet for a week, would you survive? I think that a lot of people think they need internet and the ridiculous part of it is that we are used to it and addicted to it. Everybody is, but some more than others. Just like the people in this short documentary. http://www.nointernetweek.co/ They experience what it’s like to have no internet for a week.

Willpower

I don’t always check everything like Facebook and Twitter and sometimes even skip the last pins on Pinterest. But it’s like a wave, sometimes I have this feeling that I’m missing out on a lot of stuff and then I scroll back to where I have been and seen everything. It’s awful. Even on vacation I can’t always let it go. Because as soon as you have wifi, you want to go online and see what other people are doing. Vacation used to be about letting go. I want to experience that again (and I will experience it again, I know for sure). A week withour internet would make me happier for many reasons. Though it still will be hard for me not working on my blog. I think I won’t really miss social media. Still my opinion is that wifi should be free. And it’s just a matter of willpower if you will make use of it, or not.

Cut down on Social Media

You can also choose to cut down the amount of time you work or use something. Like cutting down the usage of social media, on reading blogs, hopping from article to article, or filling your virtual cart with new shopping items and emptying it again. A week without internet I would survive because I already survived when I was in a retreat for a week. But still it’s kinda handy to have, especially when you want to show your blog to the world. And you don’t really need it, but here’s the thing: It’s so much fun to have! 🙂

How would you respond to a week without internet?

Een week lang geen internet

Een week lang geen internet hebben, zou jij het overleven? Ik denk dat veel mensen denken bij zichzelf dat ze internet nodig hebben en het stomme is dat we er echt aan verslaafd zijn geraakt. Iedereen wel een beetje en sommigen zelfs in grotere mate. Zoals de mensen uit deze korte documentaire. http://www.nointernetweek.co/ Zij ervaren hoe het is om een week geen internet te hebben en worden allemaal tijdens deze week gevolgd.
