So I just spent a week without internet...

Post by Christopher »

...and it really made me realize that I am incredibly boring. I honestly cannot remember what I used to do before there was an internet to waste time on.

Dinner parties, a cracking match of polo, cucumber sandwiches and tea at the local luncheonette, rounding up the latest serialized Dickens and huffing paint.

Huffing lots of paint.

If I didn't have internet for a month, I could probably get my entire 1-hour album done instead of it taking years

Before the Internet? People watched TV. Maybe read a book.

Before that? Radio. Maybe read a book.

Before that? Read a book(if you knew how to read).

Before that? Spend time trying to survive.

Humans as a general race have never done anything awesome with their free time. The internet is actually one of the best things we've come up with since it's actually interactive and diverse. It's healthier than being in front of the TV, anyway. For once we've made a step up.

You'd be surprised.

Internet and Video games aren't really an addiction, they've done a lot of studies into this. While it can be a distraction a lot of the time if you're not doing something with internet, you wouldn't do it without it.

Plus I couldn't stand making an album without internet anyway. I might run into needing help with something chord theory related, or need better drum samples, or want to get some feedback.
