September 2 is planned to be a day of re-connecting with real life and people are encouraged to stay off the internet for 24 hrs in order to get control over internet addiction. Will you be able to stay away from the internet and my lot?

I won't be able to, I have to make money online and it's the only way I can make money. Although if my new game comes in I might be playing that instead of going on the internet, but I have to make money online so I probably won't.

Yes, I can. I don't access net on weekends. It's my time to bond with my husband and kid. I got our internet at home disconnected last July but I guess I'll reconnect it this September. My husband and son will get addicted to internet again soon. Happy mylotting.

Hells. No.
If I liked my real life acquaintances that much, I wouldn't be spending this much time online in the first place. I'd rather spend my time with people I actually like and with whom I can have interesting conversations, instead of "reconnecting" with people who honestly don't have much in common with me except for having been in the same classes/areas.
This kind of event is for people whose real friends are in "real" life. My real friends are online, so I'm not doing this thing.
