It lasted 3 days. 3 days without access to Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First reaction was&#8230; Panic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, the reaction was panic. For the last 20 years, I&#8217;ve had daily access to the Internet. My work depends on the Internet. Access to information depends on the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not one of those people who use the Internet to connect to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube. I use the Internet as a tool for my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My work is done through the Internet and the Internet is my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next reaction was&#8230; Acceptance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the first day, I had accepted that I would have to prepare and survive without the valuable resource of accessing the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would have to see what I could do utilizing the data I have stored on my computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I should use the time to re-read PDF documents, on topics that were of concern to me, that I had on my computer and hadn&#8217;t read in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time I found free time to get back to gardening and plants without stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without the stress of checking email. Without the stress of constantly updating. Without the time wasted on irrelevant topics that you get trapped while browsing the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finally&#8230; Making the most out of my free time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly I realized that I have gained free time to do more &#8220;earthly&#8221; activities. The normal ones, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I tilled the soil around the plants. I sprayed the plants with wet sulfur.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I pulled out weeds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I spent time on how to plan the future shape of my garden.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I talked to the neighbors and they bought me coffee. It&#8217;s been a long time since we&#8217;ve talked, even though we&#8217;re so close.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I built a shelf using old materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My wife and I went for a walk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One more observation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I told you earlier that I&#8217;ve read PDF documents I had saved on my computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These contained information about programming languages (e.g. JavaScript and Python).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To my surprise I noticed that without Internet access the study had a better outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without having access to the Internet (a huge library of information, but also other &#8220;weeds&#8221; that distracted for a long time), I focused on only the &#8220;minimum&#8221; in front of me and nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>100% of my attention went to the only information I had access to. Nowhere else!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recalled the time when I learned a lot about computers and their technologies by simply having access to books that I bought from local bookstores in Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You only had one book in front of you. And you learned well what the book said. You had no interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quality before quantity (\u039f\u03c5\u03ba \u03b5\u03bd \u03c4\u03c9 \u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03bb\u03ce \u03c4\u03bf \u03b5\u03c5)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And so, on the occasion of a problem, I rediscovered the wisdom of &#8220;\u039f\u03c5\u03ba \u03b5\u03bd \u03c4\u03c9 \u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03bb\u03ce \u03c4\u03bf \u03b5\u03c5&#8221;, translated in English as &#8220;Quality before quantity&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The huge information provided by the Internet becomes no information at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From being a tool, it easily turns into a siren calling you to deviate from your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I speak as someone who is a professional who theoretically has more stamina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to imagine what the relationship is for those who see it simply as a means of communication and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The begin and the present status of Internet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The TCP\/IP communication protocol on which the Internet is based, was developed during the Cold War era by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darpa.mil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DARPA<\/a> as a defensive weapon in the event of a nuclear attack to ensure uninterrupted communications for the armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, one might well argue that the evolution of the Internet has turned it into a weapon for manipulating, employing and directing the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of positives from the existence of the Internet and the access to information it provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Someone wise said: &#8220;Too much information equals no information&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 20 years I have been falling into this trap without realizing it.

Every day I learn new things. I am experiencing what Greek philosopher Socrates said: \"all I know is that I know nothing\" (\"\u0395\u03bd \u039f\u03af\u03b4\u03b1, \u038c\u03c4\u03b9 \u039f\u03c5\u03b4\u03ad\u03bd \u039f\u03af\u03b4\u03b1\"). I perceive my self as always a student. I created kalliergo.gr back in 2010, charmed by the plants magical world. I am a Biomedical Engineer, holding a MSc degree on E-Business. For a living I help businesses to grow online. I am not an agronomist but wish I had also a degree on agronomy.
