Can you survive a week with just the internet?
Just been reading the Sun online and came across the story of Harry MacAdam, who is currently camped outside the Sun headquarters.
He started his week armed with only a laptop a credit card and the pair of shorts he was wearing. It's being documented day by day to see how he is doing. I thought it was pretty cool anyways.
Story is here.

I don't think it's so much a case of attention seeking. He actually works for the newspaper.

I have no doubt you can. I think the concept is funny as it just shows people the capabilities of the internet. Internet is more than just msn'ing, journals and making naughty videos for the boyfriend which end up said journals after the relationship ends.
E-commerce and E-business are a big deal and helps make the world just that little bit smaller and this is something that people need to be made aware of as it can be a very useful tool. Many of us will be aware of this but there are still a lot of people that don't know of these kinda of things.

Agreed Chambler.
There was a day when I dreaded the thought of letting my dad loose on the internet after I got started on it nearly 10 years ago. Nowadays though he's sorted with broadband, sorts out all his banking, reserves hotel rooms for when the family come to visit and keeps up to date with all his share info.
I like to think I had something to do with that seeing as I was a techy up there. Brings a tear to my eye it does
