Computer Dependent?

So it seems to me, this quarter in particular, I am being continually reminded of how much I depend on my computer.  My internet has been down twice for multiple days and just recently my computer broke and I had to wait it out to see if I needed to get a new one.  It is amazing to me how hard it is to get by without the internet.  It has become a part of my daily life.  Even though it's only been two days since my computer broke it feels like forever.  When I come home from class there is not much to do because I need the computer for everything.


Besides my own experience, I had to take the general writing requirement a couple of weekends ago and the prompt was talking about an application that will block users from the internet for a specified period of time and whether or not you support the application.  I think that is a very good question.  It is a little freeing to not have the internet, but at the same time it is such a necessity.  What do you guys think?  What would you do without the internet?

  2. I'd cry. And actually almost did when the internet was out for days if it wasn't for borrowing another network's.
