saying goodbye to the internet - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

Fifty addicted webmasters.

How did we ever live without the interweb? How?

I can't fathom it.

Fletch XXX · 03-28-2004, 09:44 AM

i could really use a break from the net, work period, and any computer related action.

zip · 03-28-2004, 09:47 AM

I alos look forward to leave 'the internet' behind. My main problem though is to make a proper deal between greed and freedom. As it is now, I've got a lot to do before I can be set free (and surf or board all day

.

Drake · 03-28-2004, 10:53 AM

Yeah, I would love to have logging onto the internet be a weekly rather than a daily exercise. It's been daily for years now and it's overkill.

KRL · 03-28-2004, 11:20 AM

I'm totally addicted and obsessed with the Net. I'm a total technology fanatic to the max. I'm structuring all my business investments now so they are auto-pilotable as much as can be and can be managed as much as can be over the Net. I love being able to communicate and watch everything from one central management point, which the Net lets me do. I have programmers for example working for me in countries outside the US and it all functions just like we were in an office together.

So no I can not imagine life without my PC or the Net now.

It was one of the reasons my 2nd marriage fell apart. I was online even more then when I was doing heavy day trading and literally didn't want to get off my PC to even go and take a piss because I became so mesmerized by the rush I was getting from the fast paced action of that wall street sport. I wasn't as attentive to my wife as I should have been.

I'm also a news, history and information junkie. The Net is an information junkies dream come true. Its like being connected into the world's biggest library where anything you want to learn about is only a click away.

This will probably sound even more fucked up, but I hope when I die its while I'm on my PC. I can't think of a better place to go out on.

ztik · 03-28-2004, 11:27 AM

Ive been online everyday for about the same amount of time. For some reason I freak out if I can't get online for more than 2 days. When the internet breaks i'm going to have to goto therapy or somethin.

jayeff · 03-28-2004, 12:09 PM

Especially now I live in the rural mid-west, the Net is great for shopping: I have bought everything from out-of-print books to carpets, coffee and cigarettes. On a good day it's okay for basic research, but for anything I want in-depth and for news, I still prefer print media.

In many ways the Net's greatest strength is also its main weakness: namely that anyone can go online and create whatever impression they want. A good example is the way the "Passion" movie has generated so many contrary arguments. Thousands of sites and board posts proclaiming the Romans killed Christ. As many, with equal conviction and the same appearance of factual backing, saying that the Jews were responsible. Too much information. Too few credentials.

Work-wise it seems ungrateful to knock something that has kept food on the table for years. And sure it's great to have a cash machine that doesn't care if you "go to work" in your underwear. But for me, having customers who don't exist except as statistics, is a huge drawback. I built three good businesses in my life, basically by watching and listening to customers. Now I spend my time guessing what they want and I have only largely meaningless stats to tell me if I'm wrong or right. That is why so many people in this game end up pulling crap on their visitors they would never dream of doing in "real life". We forget because we don't see their reactions, they are the same people as walk into stores, restaurants, etc. And they are going to react the same way they would if bricks-and-mortar businesses played games with them.

There are some things I would miss if I lost the Net tomorrow. But overall, no, I don't think I would feel too badly about it.

Odin · 03-28-2004, 02:06 PM

Lol. Do that one more time.

$5 submissions · 03-29-2004, 02:49 AM

All I can add is that The Internet definitely revolutionized outsourcing. No longer would labor need to be shipped out to its market. All we need is some fast bandwidth, English-speaking labor supply, and we're all set.

Babagirls · 03-29-2004, 02:58 AM

i went a full 5 months with NO internet access.

then i was able to use familys computers to check email......that was my 2 yrs (off of GFY & net all together) that i was movin around a lot. never plugged in my computer.

Mr. Marks · 03-29-2004, 03:23 AM

I don't wanna say goodbye! wahhh!

Gemini · 03-29-2004, 03:45 AM

I just went 11 weeks while I was laid up. Shook abit the first day but thats only until I gigured out the cable remote to get to all the movie channels. Didn't bother me abit after that. lol

Pornopat · 03-29-2004, 04:04 AM

I admit.

I have been online for so long it seems like a part of me. The amount of things I do online streamline life and make it much easier in my offline time too. I pay most of my bills online instead of standing in line, I study, design, maintain my sites, and keep in touch with family and friends all over the world. I value my time online and the advantages iut affords me when I am offline too.

It would be a rude shock to alot of people. I usually get away for a few days every couple of months and feel better for it. I don't have a lot of assets tied up in cyberspace though.

I very much agree with this. The web is fantastic BUT it really allows us to be seperarted from the person/customer too easily. We also see that on here. People can be total pricks on a message board with a nickname and do stuff they never would do in real life.

mindoza · 03-29-2004, 07:43 AM

Truth be told..I never worked from home I must go into a office. I use the computer all day at work but when i come home nothing! I just bought my own computer for home a month ago. I think I just hooked it up a week ago
