I program every day. I live on the internet. I blog (privately), plan projects, work on said projects, and inhale information probably 15 hours per day- sometimes more (I don't sleep much).

A week ago, a lightning strike took out my internet. I didn't react this way at all.

I don't remember being bored except for the last day, when I was waiting for the Ethernet to USB adapter to get here (My Ethernet port was damaged, along with my modem and router).

I read a book. I watched the history channel. I drank some coffee and spent some time with my family. I read another book. I got a hair cut.

This isn't a problem with what the internet allows you to do. It's a problem with what you do with your time.

Edit: My boredom on the last day can probably be attributed to the maker habit of not getting into something when interruption is imminent.

I feel the same way, and I don't even have cable! But I always have mountains of books to read, which was the pre-internet internet to an extent.
