Those who would be writers quickly discover that reality can be their ally or their competition. The phrase employed is, "You can't make this stuff up."
So it appears that the last Sunday of each January (this year it'll be the 25th) has been designated International Internet-Free Day.
I found out about it on the Internet.
They're promoting it on the Internet, at International Internet-Free Day. They had a web site, although they no longer seem to own the domain www.internet-free-day.org. How sad. Or not: perhaps they have now managed to become completely Internet-free?
I can see the bloggers celebrating now...
The evidence is clear and compelling: some people have too much time on their hands. I mean--well, you just can't make this stuff up.
Sadly not internet-free.....see the link. Glad you're interested in the idea. It was originally intended to be very much tongue-in-cheek, but you'd be surprised how many people react violently and vehemently against even the suggestion of a day without the net.....maybe they can be that angry cos it's not face-to-face....or they're having a local humour-free day? ;0)
