We are in the internet age, and with a good smartphone and data, you can interact with anyone across the world. However, there are times that there is no internet due to network failure or other reasons.
In such instances what do you do? Call the customer service of your service provider and rant? Buy data? The customer service officer will always make promises and say the internet will be back in no time, but we all know it does not always happen that way.
Below are five activities you can do at home when there is no access to the internet.
1. Make a call
We are in the era of chatting. Apps like Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook Messanger, Telegram and the likes are on Playstore. With these apps, you can interact with anyone in the world without sending your call credit. Having no internet is an opportunity to call a friend. A voice conversation is always beautiful, especially when you haven’t spoken with that person for a long time.
2. Visit a neighbour
You will be surprised that some neighbours do not know one another facially. This is because of the work routine, and when you are home, you are busy with chores or using your phone. With no internet, you can knock on the door of your neighbour and exchange pleasantries.

3. Read a book
You may have that hardcover book that you have always wanted to read but your schedule has not permitted you. What other time is there to read this book if not now? Get that book, sit in a comfortable area with a glass of juice and have a nice time reading that piece of literature.
4. Eat, cook, rest and sleep
A lot of people are always on their phones. They are so addicted to their phones and the internet that you will think it is their oxygen. Now that there is no internet, why not go to the kitchen, fix a quick meal, take a nap or, if it is late at night, rest your head on your pillow and sleep? Your body will thank you for it.
5. Do something you haven’t done in a while
It can be very entertaining to have your phone and internet; you can virtually do anything from watching videos online, ordering a meal, reading a book online and so forth. When last did you have a homemade meal, visit a friend, take a walk, or stock your groceries? Take a nap, listen to music or dance to your favourite song. The bottom line is you are getting your self busy in a good way until the internet is restored.
So the next time you are home, and you don’t have access to the internet, don’t get angry or stressed out. Do any of these activities mentioned above.
