Well, when you have internet with you, you are really creative. But what about when there is no internet or nothing? Just imagine this COVID 19 lockdown days without the internet? How are you going to pass your time? I know all the people here are internet people. The Internet is really important in our lives now these days. But what if Internet stops from tomorrow? What job will you do? What other skills do you have? Well, our place got hit by a super cyclone and for a week we didn't have electricity and the internet. No mobile network was working. So, How did I survived? I sang a lot of songs, I wrote some poems, stories, I took pictures and above all, I was reading a lot. Played games and also thinking about new ways and ideas to do better with life. What about you? Have you ever been in this situation?

Without internet you can manage but without electricity it is unmanageable. I spend time playing spider solitaire on computer which does not require internet.

Without internet you can read books, watch movies, spend time with family, gardening and so on.

If it's a short period like you don't have internet for a day, then yeah movies will do the work. But imagine without the Internet and electricity for 1 week.

i have had my times of no Internet... Actually... i think a few minutes to a couple of hours of no internet is fine - just not when i am trying to achieve something with my game.. or if i need to be online for work. But its a Sunday or a weekend, no internet should be fine, i will just take a nap or clean the place =)

Thankfully I do not experience these so much these days. But if without internet for many days I will probably have time to read the books that are just sitting here for a long time

I can live for several days without Internet. Yes I need electricity so that no work is stopped or heat does not trouble us. Books, artwork, crochet, board games....I have enough to keep myself engaged.

That's nice. I can pass several hours meditating. I do not need electricity for myself, as summer doesn't bother me much haha.

@sparial02 I meditate daily for 5-10/minutes and that's enough for me. When we get engrossed fully in few things like art, craft and music, it's almost like a meditation.
