Broadband Challenge

Challenge:

How long could you go without using any forms of traditional medium (television, radio, print, etc) but internet?

First of all, I am very comfortable using internet every day, especially as an advertising student.  I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is turn on my computer, play some music, get on social network like Facebook and Renren and browse the internet.  I rarely watch television and if I listen to the radio, it’s always in my friends’ cars or other public places which I didn’t mean to. 

When I wait for the bus, instead of calling to check when the bus comes, I search “Maps” application on my iPhone by using 3G network.  We can do everything online, including watching television, movies, design, etc.  The most important thing is with little cost.  

However, if I can only use internet for everyday life, it all depends on the stability of the internet.  When we have no wifi, 3G or technical issues of cable, we have no access to the internet.  It sometimes happens and it’s risky.
