What would you do if the government banned you from accessing the internet?

Neve · Jan 14, 2013

I think that now that we have internet, there is no way of doing without it...I think if I was banned, I would probably become depressed. Then eventually, I hope I would learn to live without it although it would be extremely difficult.

However, I would probably try to bribe someone to use their internet or bribe a government official to lift the ban.

Yeah, you'd be significantly disadvantaged academically, socially, etc.

It would be a nightmare.

I think it might actually be a relief. I have a love/hate relationship with the Internet. I hate that I love it so much. I tend to be pretty anti-technology, and the fact that I still love to spend time online makes me feel like a hypocrite. I'm sure I'd find many more productive ways to spend my time, and that might not be such a bad thing.

Well this thread was inspired by semi real events. I remember watching a documentary about the first computer hackers, and one guy wasn't allowed to go on computers anymore, because of a government order lol.

It's like, jeeze.. lol. I hope they overturned that ruling by now.

Semi-Real? I think you are just reaching for a reaction. Why?

FYI your inbox is full
It seems every time you post you are going for the shock value in your words. Nobody cares and lots of us don't want to read it. Sometimes the truth hurts. I wish your inbox wasn't full.

I don't even understand what is so "shocking" about this thread. I just thought it would be a fun question to ask.

Sure, I'll empty my pm box. If you want to rant about me go ahead, just expect something in return.

Oh, and some people actually do care about my posts. Regardless let's hear your pm rant about me, I'll have to end up correcting the 90% of obvious dead wrong misconceptions about me... *rolls eyes*

I'd read more, I guess.. A literal face book. Get it? Because my face is in the book? ha. Ha. I am so funny.

Fremmy has it right.
Also:
Text more. Use network apps to stay in contact.
Visit libraries more for information.

Why hasn't anyone stated the obvious?

If it was against the law to go onto the internet, I would just 'hack it'.

FYI: "hack it" is slang for 'putting up with it', "sucking it up", "being able to take it".

Boondock, I'm still waiting for that pm...
