10 days without internet at all.
How was it?
A relief and easy as pie. Coming back to check on the local forums and cruising around the typical news channels demonstrated a decidedly immense lack of change. Same old same old. What did I expect? Not much...and I was right. The pressure of the 24 hr news cycle is not productive at all and there is much to be said for disengagement on the whole.

Yet you are back.
You advocate for disengagement, as the news channels, 24hr news cycle, and forums/blogs change not.
It seems you choose to not change, and are guilty of feeding that 'cycle' fed to you by the media and others who feed off of the media blips.
Why would I not be back. Is it an all or nothing world you live in? I live in one where its a good idea to strike balances. For instance, I follow some news but eschew TV.
I change all the time, as do you and everything else. I guess you choose not to perceive that.
