I have always wanted to try not to use the internet for a week. How would my life be? I will not check my emails and my messages on Facebook or Studivz. I will not read Slashdot, Live Science or Space.com. I will not check out videos on Youtube. I will not read anything on Linux or Windows XP. I will not read people’s blog, and neither will I read or write on my blog. I will not do ANYTHING that is related to the world wide web for one week.

I have been thinking, what is the purpose of the world wide web? It’s so global and almost everyone in the world knows it. It’s so addicting and a lot of people abuse it. Information is so fast and free and a lot of people give shitty stupid idiotic information on nothing, something and everything. It’s a waste of time because it’s killing my mind and your mind. It’s a silly network through ip addresses, wires, the air and satellites and everyone is connected. It’s some sort of city life, except that we’re separated by distance. Imagine, some guy in Hawaii is reading my blog now. He and I are not even connected by land, but he can enter my world.

It’s…crazy!

What I plan to do during the week is to do a lot of readings, but I will also write what happen day to day. Maybe I am tempted to type wordpress.com or facebook.com, or maybe I am curious about what is happening with my friends, or maybe I decide to update my anti-virus, my Windows XP or my openSuSE 10.3, or maybe I want to read some stuff on technology or on Linux. So, I will write whatever happens using OpenOffice Writer. A week later, I will post everything on my blog, except personal stories.

I figured I’d start Friday. That way, I will have the time to email important messages to my family and friends. I will also have the time to update everything, especially anti-virus or security patches. Then, everything starts on Friday morning until the next Friday. So, just leave a message. We’ll see what happens.
