Everything was great at first but Miller eventually realized just how wrong he was.

Here are five lessons he learned.

The Internet wasn't holding him back from being creative and productive. He was solely responsible for his shortcomings.

Paper books are great and you don't need the Internet to learn new things. But it still takes motivation to read a book, with or without the Internet.

Receiving a dozen letters a week can be just as overwhelming as receiving hundreds of emails a day.

It's harder to find and connect with people without the Internet. "It's easier to text, or SnapChat, or FaceTime, than drop by someone's house."

"A 'Facebook friend' is better than nothing."

So in other words the internet helps people which is why the Kenyan in Chief will eventually let the UN regulate it.

I only get on the internet to update my anti virus software.

[Mad Dawgg]

The Internet is like any New Technology, it can become a crutch Or it can be a useful tool.

It all depends on the person using it.

Receiving a virus in an E-mail is less dangerous than receiving virus by the post office.

Internet is essential, it is why even homeless folks spring for a ten dollar library card, a guy I met in the library gave his home address as that of the police station, which is right across the street from the library.

But it still takes motivation to read a book, with or without the Internet.
I read two or three books a month ... none via the Internet.

[dfwgator]

I can quit the Internet anytime....I mean it.....really......in fact I’m going to go away right now.........yep.....anytime now..........you’ll see....

[Age of Reason]

it still takes motivation to read a book

For me, interest is all it takes.

"A 'Facebook friend' is better than nothing."He's such a loser.

[Stentor]

I only use the internet for Busines Insider. I’m waiting for the trillion dollar platinum coin raffle.

[Alberta's Child]

Interesting experiment. I didn’t quit the internet, but I’ve really scaled back on what I do here. If it weren’t for FreeRepublic I’d go days without logging on.

The internet is on computers now!

OMG, can you imagine having to shop for Christmas presents at the local mall?

I love the quote by Bill Gates in his book, Road to ? sorry can't remember his insignificant book he wrote in the 90's. "the Internet is an insignificant technology" Bill Gates 1990

He said that because his talent was not coding it was contract writing, his parents taught him well. He ripped off so many innovators (my family included). Look at him now, trying to play catch up with his first victim of his steal it and then dare them to sue you, Steve Jobs, he was the innovator.

[plain talk]

Yeah go get ‘em. I hate the internet as well and refused to ever access the internet from the very begiinning. I use mental telepathy to post my comments at Free Republic. I use no electricity and use a horse to travel about. if I ever need to travel between cities I use the train. Clothes? Use a loin-cloth. :-)

A 'Facebook friend' is better than nothing."

Not really.

What is an “Internet”?

[Rebelbase]

My musical skills have increased significantly since I discovered jam tracks on Youtube.

It’s all in how you use.

[CodeToad]

I have a job that cannot possibly work without the Internet. My personal life? No problem. The Internet helps with buying things, looking up information, and staying in contact, but most of the people I know actually talk to each other and meet face to face. A simple phone works as well as anything the Internet provides.
