The Internet is a global network connecting millions of computers. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions. It has been one of the most influential works of technology ever created. It has changed our lives in so many ways and in some that we can’t even imagine. We often fail to remember that we can actually still survive without the Internet with us. Here are top 10 ways to do so.

We begin the list with the most obvious reason: to appreciate being offline. You can’t truly be happy if you don’t appreciate the life away from the internet. You can do so many things when you don’t constantly sit in front of your computer. Maybe this is finally the time to do the things you have wanted to do but can’t seem to find the time for it. You can also protect yourself from the ultraviolet rays that computers send out every time we use it.
Most people would think that if ever they have some free time, they can just sit around all day surfing on the Internet and that would be their vacation. How about surfing for real? Enjoy yourvacation with your family and friends, not with your cyber relationships. This way, you can actuallyconverse with them and know what they are really feeling, not just with the use of emoticons or messenger and Skype.
You should go outdoors sometimes and engage yourself in activities. There are all these friends who want to play with you or hang out with you during those times that you preferred to stay inside. But don’t worry, now is your chance! You can still spend time with them and maybe more time in the future. This will be very helpful for you when it comes to enriching your social life and your physical health as well. Exercise those muscles and go play!
You might not feel this but your body is in serious need of vitamin D because you haven’t been going out under the sun that much. Nobody likes a vampire except when they sparkle or their last name is Salvatore. So enjoy an ample amount of the heat of the sun and get some fresh air. This is good for both the body and the mind so that you can have peace and silence at any time of the day.
If you utilize the internet for online games like DOTA and Counter Strike, then why not go old school from time to time if you can’t go online? There are hundreds of boards and cards games to choose from if you feel like dying out of boredom. You can even do this with your friends and family so you can spend some time together. These games do not promote violence but serve the purpose of bringing you closer to your loved ones than ever before.
