I read these "I completely gave up using the internet for 5 days — and it was way harder than I could have ever imagined " stories and I just want to die laughing. My job / livelihood relies 100% on the internet and I do fine without it for weeks at a time when I go on vacation. Calling the internet an "addiction" is asinine. Meet Dave, he's what's wrong with society today:
My name's Dave, and I have an addiction. I am powerless against the lure of the internet.
