"Several things were immediately clear. First, my productivity was at its highest when I was in a place other than my home. That is to say, a place without internet. The afternoons I wrote at the coffee shop with no wireless were twice as productive as the mornings I wrote at home."

When I wrote my first novel I spent a lot of time at my neighbours house using their old 486 and notepad. They didn't have internet access and the places was quiet other the cat that I was cat sitting. Needless to say, the situation turned out to be very productive and without distraction.
Internet isn't the new TV until people start bragging about how they've canceled it completely and we're all idiots for remaining beholden to "Big Internet."
