"You're not being real."

I'm blogging my experience of what it's like to live with no internet at cable TV at home. Since 2000 when I was a freshman at Sam Houston State University. I've been soothed by the constant pleasure of information and entertainment.

When I began the blog I was honest that I was keeping my cell phone. I've since added a second phone line with unlimited internet from Tmobile. I was paying $70 a month for one line, it's now $100 for two lines unlimited internet. Using spare login information from friends I'm going to be able to download TV channel apps to my phone and stream their programming. It'll be on a much smaller screen. My "smart" TV will be "dumb" and hook up to an Over-the-air antenna.

So now, I feel like a big phony. I'll have TWO internet devices (with hotspot for my laptop), access to ESPN, etc, and I'll be in the same place I was when I was spending $100-$150 a month on cable.

But maybe I'm not the phony. Maybe the cable bill was unnecessary. I was doubling up when I didn't need to. As a single person what was I getting?

When I canceled my home service I didn't know of another blog or website where the person doesn't have home internet.

Yet... what luck! I found one! (http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/a23247/why-i-have-no-home-internet/) We both agree. If there's more than one person at the home, it would be hard to get this approved.

Whoops! Shoot. I found another one (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soloish/wp/2016/05/05/to-create-a-real-social-network-i-made-my-home-an-internet-free-zone/?utm_term=.b125fe1765a7)

I guess I'm not unique.

Oh dang, I found another one. (http://www.theminimalists.com/internet/)

Why is Google so good at searching the web?

I don't have anything to add to these wonderful posts. It seems over the next month I will have more time to myself, more room to meditate, more of me.

Isn't that what the internet should be used for in the first place?
