This won’t be much of a blog post. I spent most of the evening working on a rush assignment and my brain is already lounging on the sofa in front of the TV. But check out this Slate article written by a man who’s preparing to walk away from the Internet for a few months. I admire his determination, but not the goal itself. Sure, I’ve spent countless hours in front of my computer, but I’m more often than not having a good time doing whatever it is I’m doing. The severity of my disability has probably made the Internet even more attractive to me than it might otherwise be; I don’t need any assistance when I’m at my computer, which can’t be said for most of my other daily activities (except maybe for sleeping and being a smartass). My life would definitely be poorer if I suddenly had to give up the Internet and the independence that comes with it .
