I Gave Up The Internet For A Week

IT'S HERE!! We worked so hard on this video and it was SOOOO difficult of a challenge!! I learned SO much by giving up the internet for a week, and hope you enjoy. :) Where's the notif squad at?!?

Omg! I never knew you came to Belize! I live SUPER close to that island on another island named San Pedro 😍 I’m so sad I didn’t know you came

You and Natilee outlet look so much alike

does anyone know the background music starting at 2:21?

Yea im doing it as soon as l hit my vacation resort... But if u can shoot me that Family l will much rather pay them the resort fee and come stay in Nature... Themoneyview at gmail

I did this for a week and when I got my phone it felt the most weirdest thing in my life, like I’ve never down it before. It was so weird 😂

No electricity challenge

I'm impressed and I think I'm may try it I'm 10

When there was no internet for 2 days i was literally depressed I just would cry anytime.I wonder how she did this.

Last year, I went to Italy with my Latin class and my teacher wouldn't let us bring any devices that could connect to the internet. Strangest 2 weeks of my life...

Can you do a video about becoming a equestrian for 60 days

I have a husband in a other country and we talk on a video call for a whole day. If I wasn't married it would be easy to me to be without internet and I love to enjoy time without phone but not talking to my husband is so hard😅❤

I love watching these types of videos. It inspires me so much.

The guy who said we don’t use maps and phone books any more upset me , cause my whole family still does

I Hate you.

I would put my phone in the bathroom BUT my family would go through it. Which I don’t have anything to hide but I don’t want them to think they can just go and invade my privacy but yeahhh

I just went on a cruise and had no internet and it really opened my eyes

Garret and jennel are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who doesn't know their way around their city? At least memorize where highways take you :/
I mean, I get how people cant find their way around places because their city is huge, like L.A.

Currently watching this at midnight, in my bed, because I can't sleep

ummm going to an island on vacation is TOTALLY cheating!!

I’ve went to Belize 🇧🇿 it’s super nice

i went 7 months without a single screen and i’m only 14

1. Parents need to stop complaining about “Oh my child is so spoiled and glued to their phone” “My children don’t go outside anymore”. First of all, why buy them a phone in the first place? I’d assume so you’d know where they are, and to text/connect with people, right?. That’s why my parents have gotten me a phone. Of course I play games or go on social media, but guess what? I still have restrictions on my phone. If you don’t want your kids to be glued to their phone then give them a time of how long to use it, unless needed for emergencies.
2. Adults like to complain on how the next generation will grow up with iPhones and not know what it was like without technology. Adults have been a the ones producing and updating technology. I’m sorry but if a product is a good ass product then people are gonna buy it.
3. It’s really not a bad thing at all growing up with technology either. Before, society didn’t know about the outside world as much. Counties without modern technology don’t know much about the dangers going on around the world. In fact I think technology helps open your eyes. Technology gives us so many pros it’s too much to list. However, being on your phone 24/7 is bad. Hell, too much of anything is bad. You need to create a balance. Again, balance goes back to parents giving their kids restrictions on phone. Many adults need to take a break sometimes too. At dinner both my parents are on their phones throughout, they can’t even take a 30 min break.
Balance is all you need in life. That’s my best advice.

I used to live in Belize, and my parents are born in Belize.

I freaking love Garret lol

That was cheating

1:52. I swear I'm seeing double.

Didn’t know she had a sister, they look just alike😂 thought that was Michelle for a sec

The crab and fish that man was mutilating, also had a family...

My highschool has a lot of amazing trips you can go on and they are making almost all of them tech free to force kids to be more present and engaged on the trips! I've gone on a trip every year (I just graduated) and honestly when you're in other country, especially doing a homestay without your phone, it's scary. But I felt like it did make me really focus in on other people and the interactions I had with them. Would 100% recommend you try this next time you travel somewhere or even at home!

Wait. Come on.... You really didn't go offline for a week in LA! This video is not complete yet! It's not about just getting from point A to point B on a map... It's about being self reliant. Try it and upload the sequel to this!

Michelle has some nice ass teeth😬👍

does anyone else realize that this video has been up for almost a year and there is only 184 thumbs down?!?

I turned twenty not too long ago, it took me until I was seventeen to figure out what google was. I've never had any friends because I don't know how to navigate my phone (seriously, like wheres the instructions?!) I write letters to all of my family members if I want to stay in touch...I'm at a library typing this btw. Because I don't have internet. To answer your question, yes absolutely I live out in the middle of nowhere.
Anyway, just clicked on this video to see how people reacted in the comments. Just remember that to me\us, you guys are the weird ones! You're a slave to a little box that talks to you!


P.S Oh yeah, I also didn't have tv's, ipods etc etc. And a girl thought I was mocking her once when I smiled at her bag and asked who was on it...I grew up in the One Direction era so apparently not knowing who Harry Stiles and Justin Beiber were was offensive?

Me and my friends just did this, and it was really good for us. We got bored sometimes, but it was good for our health

AAA gives maps for free if you’re a member. I have them in case of earthquake or other disaster where I couldn’t use my phone

Bold of you to assume I eat with people

A day without internet is really relaxing

Everything in moderation is great. You always have to go forward in time and use the internet to your advantage but you should not get dependent on it. Love your videos Michelle ❤️

3:15 a full blown hair commercial lol the island was so beautiful!

This is such a common struggle!
One thing that helped me a lot was to set a daily limit on social media apps and also block them completely during sleeping hours. I also don't have email notifications on my phone because I realised that gave me so much anxiety. I still check my emails daily on my computer, but once it's off everything work related is done for the day and it helps me relax and get better sleep :)
Thank you for your great content!

What about if you use your phone to read what would you recommend

honestly tho. ur job is the internet. so its valid

My best friend has no idea what the internet is,and she does not know how to use a computer or even a smart phone .she uses a flip phone.

There have been two times that I've been forced to go a full week with no phone bc they've broken. It was insanely frustrating trying to spend time with people.. At some point every time they would all have their phones out and leave me out to dry. But over all it was really nice being disconnected. I've never really used social media (- TVclip) but not even having the option felt nice. Having to ask for the time constantly got me some weird looks though lol.

I'm gonna try this.

You didn’t give up the internet your filming a TVclip video

I would love to go without internet for a whole year!! Just live in a place where people don't even know what it is and learn how they live there!

That’s easy. Survive a hurricane like Maria, without any communication for a month... and without your husband ‘cause he was on deployment out of home. That’s the real deal.

I just love your vlog...u r my fav

You should try learning an instrument and performing with an orchestra! (Maybe you did this already and I don't know. I'm a new subbie :) )

People know that the do not disturb button is a thing

I used to use a paper map and navigate for my father. He still prints directions from AAA

I didn’t realize how much of a struggle this is for people. My state borders Canada and I don’t get service there. Never worried about it and I go places all the time without my phone when I do have service.

I lived without internet for a year. I hated the first month, but slowly opened up to my dads family relatives.

im the 21 000th like and that makes me so happy

sorry but i would go insane i need twitter

I have no social meida.

It easy when ur young cause there’s a thing called grounded 🤪😂😂😂

Also I suck at directions and I would have a panic attack if I get lost in a crowded part of LA. Lol lived here 4 years still don’t know how to get around

This sounds ammmaaaziiing!!!!! Do you know how much I crave an intellectual conversation. If I could get both my husband and step baby off their internet I would be the happiest girl.

please try sleeping in a japanese capsule

The internet is an amazing place to discover things. But the internet can also be your worst nightmare. It sucks that people ( and myself ) constantly compare themselves to random strangers, random "picture perfect" moments. But everyone struggles with their own insecurities. Just remember that you are perfect the way you are and don't let society or random people tell you, how you should act or look. Be yourself because that is what makes people unique. Have a great day to whoever is reading this :)

Rat face 🤣

At least you can wear a bikini

Ur weak I gave it up for 22 days because I was in africa

Omg please do marching band!!! With a show at the end and everything!! Playing and marching at the same time is surprisingly difficult

i went on a cruise last month and one of the stops was Belize

You came to my home 🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿💕

Ur so inspiring!! And I love how amazing and sweet u are! You are the best! Keep going and never give up on all the crazy amazing things

everyone should do this!

ADVENTURES WITH GARRET AND JANELLE!

I did this once.

wot oh i thought everyone knew the no internet dinosaur game

@Michelle: Not using the internet doesn't mean you can't use your phone to call your boyfriend. LOL.

Just thinking about staying away from electronic media for a day produces a lot of anxiety. That is a bad sign, right?

you should try going vegan for a week! 💕

That is interesting, not being able to get an uber ride by calling, but I suppose the system is like most software/apps in that they try to avoid contact with customers. I have never had to pay for a ride, so I haven't used any kind of ride service and may have shared a taxi once and got a limo back from a club once (compliments of the club). While I am not into social media much, I love watching youtube and use the internet constantly for work and hobby. Actually, from reading so much on the internet, I know much more about a variety of topics that otherwise I wouldn't have been exposed to. Almost all of the answers are floating around on the internet..............just have to find them.

that island is some true crime story waiting to happen 👁️

From snorkeling

The thing with your ear is probably swimmers ear

This is really cool! I might try it for a day or two over the summer. :)

I’m actually from Belize!

Michelle, your videos are amazing. So creative and fun.
I personally feel like doing all your challenges.

If I turned my phone off for a week I'd still come back to zero notifications

Just get a GPS

i couldn’t do that cause i need to do school on the computer lol

that scene with the little girl is really wow....... suddenly I want to raise my children like that, a healthy life.....

the dinosaurs name is Steve, hes also on an app for the widget bar of your phone

Whenever I go on holiday, we go camping
The campsites don't usualy have an internet connection and often no phone signal, so I have to give up TVclip and other things that need the internet for the whole trip
When I get home I allways get tons of notifications from TVclip and Instagram and it takes a while to catch up on everything I've missed

That thumbnail is a marriage proposal

does it count if you are using the offline map you downloaded before in google maps :)))))

The longest I've gone without the Internet for 2 weeks but i was camping for those 2 weeks soo🤷🤷

You guys are lucky that you live in a place where you can travel and do fun things.

I appreciate ur frnds d ways honestly helped u , as a business lady I can understand without net is impossible, even I wish to be without net,,

Why was I exited about the dinosaur Google game........

Try going vegan or vegetarian for 30 days!!!!!!!!
