A few days ago I stated that I’m going to try and be more offline that usual, and indeed for a couple of days I didn’t connect to any IM service (I use MSN, Google Talk and occasionally Facebook.) Except for one friend at work it appears that no one missed me online (thanks, rom :) I didn’t miss it too much either and it made very little difference on my life.
So I decided to come back online. It’s still useful and fun to talk to friends here and there. Some of my friends I only talk to online. I should remember to do less of that and use more personal communication, like phone and actually meeting people, where possible.
And all this time I was thinking that you were blocking me since you don’t want to help with technical questions.
[btw, your experiment was not made under stp]
:) I was avoiding everyone, but it didn’t feel much different
