Can you resist not switching on your pc for a whole day? Well, I myself can’t,unless I am not at home or doing something really important. Last week I woke up bothered from the sunrays that entered my room, opened my eyes and can barely see anything ,a few moments later the sight is getting clear, yeah I can see clearly now. It’s my lovely pc in front of me; I kept staring at it a few seconds, sometimes when you wake up, you had this stupid look on your face, as if you’re thinking of something. Then suddenly I decided to take the day off and not switch on my pc, yeah not an easy decision to resist not opening your pc or checking your e-mail as if you’re waiting an email to tell you the war on Iraq or Palestine is over!!
To be honest, I really do spend a lot of time surfing the net or sometimes I chat with my friends and relatives, I guess it became a habit for me. A lot of people talked about those who become addicted to the internet or using their pc, but I found the whole thing is much more deeper, it is this closeness with your pc its like all your mind and stuff is in it, you can reach all your friends who live abroad, spend time listening or downloading your favorite music, and doing some work for university or for your job.
What an amazing invention! I had an opportunity to get to know some people from the internet, some were good and others were not, but it was quite a good experience to get to know so many people with different personalities and mentalities different than you, especially for me since that I didn’t live in my homeland “Syria” so I really didn’t have the chance to get to know so many people other than relatives.
Anyway back to the track, after deciding not to switch on my pc, I picked up a book I bought recently and started to read, even though I don’t like reading a lot unless something really grabbed my attention, but I do really like reading on the internet. For the first few moments, things were good I was enjoying what I was reading. After a while, I was bored and decided to do something else.
Through out a whole day, I had the chance to do so many things, went out to buy some stuff, watched TV and spend sometime with my parents. However, at the end of the day I couldn’t resist it anymore, so I switched on my pc, put on the music I love and started checking the usual things I do. It was a challenge for me, and I failed or didn’t bother myself not to do things I enjoy.
I wonder what if there was no internet, what our life would be
