Internet – Portal to Stoneage

Well, I know because I have been through it. My internet just broke down for a couple of days, and I was quite amazed at how badly I was dependent on internet.
It’s not like an addiction to any drug that I would do anything to surf, but yeah I can assure, I come home, back from work, and I just don’t know what to do. Life just seems to have stopped.

I mean, I have lost the habit of watching TV, except it is any sport - live or its just while having dinner or lunch. Well besides that I never watch TV, I listen to songs on computer or online, I watch any TV show or movie, i want to by stream-lining, I play games on computer and online. I barely do anything offline.

I do, I meet my friends, hang out and am back home, but the main time slot between say 12 and 3 (considering I have to wake up early to make it on time to work the next day ), time slot between 12 and 3 suddenly seems endless. I can’t sleep at 11 or 12, nor can I wake up doing nothing till 2 or 3.

Ah that was bad!! The tasks like playing music on my system, which generally is a secondary task, a task done in the background, suddenly became all that I had to do.

I tried to write something for my blog, so I could publish later, but then the slightest reference, hyperlinks... ah again I can’t even write if I don’t have internet.
I Installed a game, Halo 1, thinking that would keep me busy, but after playing and finishing Doom 3, Mafia, Call of duty 1,2,3, Half Life, Hit man, Thief etc, playing Halo made me feel like I was fighting Hobbits. I just had no clue what to do.

The Worst and most funniest part was, I was listening to songs and going through my old playlists, made me feel nostalgic , I remembered all the days when I had made these play lists, the songs I was crazy about then, And suddenly I began missing my friends !!! C’mon I felt like... never mind.
I miss my friends when my internet breaks down. Immediately, I am thinking am I that materialistic, I am a hypocrite then.
Ah I just forced my self to sleep.

I was virtually living in the Stone Age -
In the Stone Age, men went to hunt, that was solely to earn food, and they were back in the caves or where-ever they lived and did nothing, because all their life was about surviving.
And me without the internet, I went to work, that was to earn my self food, and then I came back to where i lived and absolutely had nothing to do.

Just was beginning to wonder if I was an internet addict. I took a few tests in the internet to find out if i was an internet addict and surprisingly I was not an internet addict, not even close to an addict. Seems like i have some purpose in time I spend on the internet and not just letting one site lead me to another blindly. (That was a couple of that stupid test’s verdict)

Now I am back, I mean my internet is back, so my life's back on track. ha ha
I hope, what I have written is more exaggeration than it actually is
