Getting rid of internet — again!
Living on the farm has been great. I had no computer, so my internet addiction couldn’t physically happen.
So I turned on my iPhone’s internet. It’s practical. It’s helpful. Could it be that bad?
Yes. I was sucked into it. Ugh. So I had a friend password restrict the Safari browser.
I had been tumbling on my iPhone, but it looks like that’s gonna stop too. I want to completely get rid of all my internet addiction cues, and being on an addictive site like tumblr is one of those cues.
Every once in a while, I may go to a library to update my tumblr via computer (like I’m doing now), but for now I’m going on a hiatus again. It may last for several months. May? June? I want my “internet brain” to go away and return to a “non internet” brain. I want my thoughts to stop racing. I want to stop thinking in short 140 character sound bites. I want to stop expecting the ability to close out of every window, so I can think more fully, continuously, without distracting. I want to be able to weed kale without having the desire to send the picture of a kale-fractal to tumblr.
I want to think. I want to stop my habit of thinking “just google it” and instead practice habitual critical thinking to solve problems. I’m sure google has the answers, but google is going to kill me in the long run.
So cya. And if you find away to think critically and use the internet simultaneously, let me know. Thoughts?
