Plan to give up my "personal" internet life. How can i go about making myself independant of email. ?

i can tell people i contact regularly be email. All services can be unsubscribed to. My only problem is people sending important emails to me after some time. Like if they forgot that I gave up email or they found my adress from someone else. Please help. All serious answers. No on persuade me not to give up, I might decide not to on my own.

You must think of how to keep communication with everyone from the technology that's available today. If you dont like email from the web, then there's cellular options that offer text messaging. A friend can call your voice mail and just talk as many people are texting just for fun when they could just talk. Avoiding the world wide web will be difficult and is one of the best and affordable means of communication. I would find the other problems to help me keep internet. Don't get trapped into the internet world by becoming addicted and avoid real life, suckered into online relations, or use it as a tool for evil ways. The growth of the internet makes it impossible to give up, eventually refrigerators will have email or even car dashes all equipped. Get your other side of the problem solved and it'll be easier. It'll be like "trying to live life" without a phone and television. These are essential devices. Good luck.
