Andy: one day if u dun have computer and internet... HOW?
Sean: read.
Andy: haha, so calm ah.. never go kee siao?"

Haha.. being so reliant on my computer, turning it on the moment I wake up, and then off usually only when I’m asleep, is it possible for me to withdraw from it? Yeah, I guess very much so, thinking about the reasons why I use the computer, its really very much for information, or dabbling with things. There’s that tinker-ing nature in me, which isn’t exactly very good at what it does, but still there.

Now -> Google Reader, my vice for all RSS feeds

Couple of months ago -> Digg, Lifehacker etc

Longer -> Hardwarezone Forums

And of course, my best friend. Google. Haha.

I guess, its just something to take time away from myself, having nothing to do, I need to occupy it. Last night, I learn that my life is just insignificant enough to be void of nothing, and so all these just fills it up.

So I guess, if one were to take all this away, I would just rely on the older form of information. Books. I guess its like how with my computer around, I read the newspaper less? Since I already get such an overdose of information (be it useless) everyday or every moment I am at my comp that I hardly want to read the papers and instead just flipped through it. Like when I’m overseas, which also shows how less computer reliant I can be, I would actively sought out papers and would be more interested to read them cover to cover.

And oh, there’s always being just a TV freak too. Just last night, watched the last 2 movies of American Pie + 1 episode of 我猜. However, that would rely on me using my computer so I guess that’s out. Books for the win!
