[quote=CARLOS,282632]My daughter, 11, have over 100 friends in Msn. When she comes home, she goes straight to pc and starts chatting. Usually she chats with about 10 friends same time. While chatting, she receives text messages to her cell phone all time and also answers to them. In background there is some irc-page opened and she checks that too every now and then, if someone should be there.
Kids that age live, how could I say, inside communication, afraid to be without connection. My other daughter, 9, is becoming the same.
So, I have had to limit their time at pc, as well as I did limit cell phone using.

Now to the point.
If I am lucky this summer, I will be able to have 3 weeks summer vacation. I will go to my cottage for all that time. There is no electricity, means no tv, no computers etc. for kids. Only one small solar panel charger for their cell phones. They must minimize their cell phone use, because need only few rainy days and power off if use it too much.
After 3 weeks, can You imagine, they live!!! Happens every summer!!!

So loosing internet would maybe cause a chaos, but if not invented, world would still go around and phone calls and faxes would have their place like before.

(shame on me, I have a small aggregate there at my cottage. I have my laptop there and internet connection. As well as my cell phone charged all time. I check my e-mail frequently and have several business calls every day.)
