I'm Paul Miller I'm in Chicago and this is day how many days sorry 45 of no internet you know I stopped counting I stopped counting everything when I left the internet so I don't know but it's been a while since I've used the internet and I've been in Chicago for about a week I came to Chicago friend Eli's wedding and that's like just been hanging out Chicago for a few days before the wedding and then the wedding was like a three-day extravaganza at first I felt a little out of place because a lot of cool things would happen and then everybody would share them on Instagram or Facebook but I think as the wedding progressed as some people even like The Verge editors started like slowing down how do pictures they were taking how many tweets they were doing and we all started living and loving and laughing a lot throughout the wedding I am I felt no disadvantage dancing wines well without the internet I felt like I could pick up all the moves here on the spot nothing you had to look up on the Internet it was it was a good experience I I didn't really think a lot about the internet they either way because how does just enjoy the wedding basically so it was blast is awesome and yeah you know everybody's tweeting I actually I forgot my camera on this trip which is kind of suck but I got this Yashica Elektra of 35 so I'm learning how to shoot film so I've been shooting a little bit of my big problem with film is that I forget if I wound it or not I think I either have a lot of blank frames on here I have a lot of doubles it's a pretty cool camera I haven't developed any film so I don't know I'm taking horrible pictures there are definitely a few people here that uh know me from my work by the no internet work because like you know you somebody asks you what do you do I still want to write about technology and they like phones like yeah if I get phones and laptops you know and a lot of times the like the conversation could end there but it's fun for me because I gonna say yeah I write about technology right now I'm living the year without the internet oh you know so I'm like I'm Corey I'm a pretty hot commodity when it comes to conversations at social gatherings I don't want to toot my own horn but I think I'm getting really good at navigating cities I just absorbed them like sponge when I ran into my bike they gave me this map this is this map is courtesy of Rahm Emanuel and this thing's epic and so I can get I could get anywhere in life I don't even know what you call the area this Chicago's very large the place I went to Wicker Park I went to a camera store the best buy my name how about two shirts you like oh my gosh by like 40 I don't miss the Internet I don't dream about it I don't learn for it you know everyone wants while somebody's like oh there's this really funny thing a lot happening on Twitter but I can't tell you you know but I don't I don't care it you know my biggest fear though is that at the end of the year I don't want to really go back to the internet full bore even though it's so awesome it's just a cool thing I just I didn't like myself a lot better not on the internet so I feel like doing a year of this is gonna be like a piece of cake this is just basically really easy right now they're like there's tiny minor inconveniences in exchange for having a blast a total complete blast you
