What is the longest amount of time you have gone without using the internet?
Heuristic answers:
- during class (sometimes 😉)
- a little while
- not long
Time to first computer usage from birth:
- ~4 years before first using a computer
- probably the first 6-7 years of my life
- 9 years (the first 9 years of my life)
- 14 years before I got my first phone
- 30 years (<-- 30="" a="" aged="" could="" editor="" have="" how="" i="" idea="" li="" no="" note:="" person="" reply="" s="" this="">-->
Time of longest non-internet "break" since first computer usage:
- one hour
- a day
- 21 hours, cross-continent flight
- 2 days
- maybe like 48 hours?
- 4 days
- a week
- two weeks
- 2 weeks (summer camp in a mountain)
- A couple weeks? But I'd love to try going w/o it for a longer time.
- 3 months
One student wrote "∞". I have corresponded with this student by email; I wonder if, on their end, they had the messages transcribed and then read aloud to them by a personal, permanent "internet secretary"? Actually, I'm pretty sure I have watched this student load a webpage during class in a computer lab, so maybe this is just reporting error...
Winning comedic/situationally-funny response: "The times that eduroam is out..."
I previously asked this question in 2017.
This post's theme word is floccipend (v tr), "to regard as worthless." They floccipend internet downtimes.
