Even though that was a joke, ill respond to this anyways.
The net is a staple part of mine and many other peoples lives, not becuase we want to just sit behind a computer screen and play games or whatever. It is one of the most usefull tools there are.
Email is superior to letters is both speed and cost, if i need to write someone i write an email.
Instant Messengers i use more then phones, i can stay in touch with my family without having to pay long distance fees (Since they all moved away), i can also have several conversations at once on them. If i dont want to talk to people or only a single one i can just turn invisible on ICQ.
The Web, becuase of the web i dont read a physical newspaper anymore unless im alone in a resturant, nor do i need to watch tv news or the radio. I prefer it, choose what you want to read, have it up to date rather then a day old. Im sorry but newspapers just dont cut it.
Yes life is stressfull, but if i want to relax, i can hit the power button, leave my Cell Phone on my desk and go take a walk in a park.
Personally i dont think i could stand just floating in a boat for days on end, sure a little peace and quite is nice but i can achive that at home with some discipline. The bordom would surely overtake me after a couple days in a boat, no matter what i brought to do or what books i have, or even where i am. You relax your way, other people relax theres. |
