Pfff few years ago there was no TV's either computers, people lived somehow.

I was growing without a computer with cable TV that shows only about 10 channels, it's was unusual I was going out side with friends, doing homeworks was riding my bike and stuff like that. So don't be depressed when the internet is gone. Go out, and do some stuff!

Indeed, being off-line is the only way to be happy. Internet if a great thing but also is a distractor from our own selves.
