marie took the words outta my mouth.  First thing that came to mind is bowling.  It's a great way to get a group of people to have fun.  My ex, his friends and their girlfriends would all meet up at a bowling alley and have lots of fun for the night.  Sometimes we would pick one of our houses to hang out at and have movie night.  We would all pitch in for food (mostly seafood cause we all loved it) and gather around the t/v and chow down.  Or we would hang out and play monopoly, cards or dominos.  But as far as going out, we all had fun bowling the most.

Go someplace quite without a computer access. That means no Yahoo! Answers for a week.

Read a book....watch lots of TV....pick up a sport. Do something else that will keep your time and interest and would leave you too tired in the end to surf the internet.

I expect many of us on YA were alive before the techie time.  I grew up in a house and community that had no electricity.  I walked to school as did all of us, no matter how far - we didn't have school buses.  We had chores to do as part of our responsibiity to the family, and they took care of before school and after school time.  We read a lot and listened to radios powered by huge batteries.  When we did have free time as kids we played outdoors and made our own games.  There was very little "ready to eat" food available so meals were cooked from basics, we made our own bread, etc.  There was lots to do - no such thing as being bored.

I think that would be a marvellous idea. A whole week without people discussing the so called plots of various soaps would be wonderful. Also maybe if the internet crashed people might rediscover the art of conversation, and parents might be a bit more interested in what their sons and daughters are up to.\n\nI would probably take up a new hobby, and I would listen to some music, and read some books, go to the cinema, and rediscover life!

I'll tell you if you answer a question first - how can so many young kids like you figure out how to use the Internet for communication and games but not to research the simplest of questions?  \n\nDid you Google this or look it up on Wikipedia?

You should probably log off and go to bed and wake up tomorrow and not use the computer for a week.  You may use it so much that your personality and social life is not developing the way you intended it to.\n\nHowever with this wonderful colorful internet, you will probably get online tomorrow... and the day after.... and the day after..\n\nIt's your choice hun.

Before the world wide web there wasn't an Internet, it was a govt/education network.\n\nUnless you mean the old BBS's (Bulletin Boards) - these you had to dial directly to a specific phone number, and only had access to that particular one, eg, CIX
