MEET Harry MacAdam - the man being dubbed "the Internut".

The intrepid Sun reporter will be spending the next seven days living in our carpark in Wapping, with only a broadband connection and laptop for company.

He has no mobile, no clothes, no food and no shelter and will have to survive the week ordering all of this - and more - simply by surfing through cyberspace.

This would have been so much more unique in 2000.

see the case of Dotcomguy.

This would have been so much more unique in 1996.

:/ ?

Doesn't look very hard to be honest...but i'm a geek.

Won't he die? He has no clothes until the following day surely even with super next day fast helicopter delivery.

:/ ?

It's been done so many times in the past that it is almost antediluvian.

Man to survive with just an ark and a few pairs of animal.

I assume he'll have a stack of batteries or a nice long power cable too?

I don't see anything impressive or newsworthy in this, I most of my food online, most of my clothes online (etc etc etc), what difference does it make that I live in a house not in a car park make?

£2,000 to survive 7 days, just ordering stuff off the net? That's pretty damn easy...Tesco's for food, and order a shed + blankets or similar, pay top money to get it ordered asap, you might have to spend one night in the cold, but that's about it.

Hows he going to be able to purchase something without a fixed address?

 

[Al Vallario]

Not much of a challenge really. £2,000 could buy a nice tent, portable gas heater, clothes and food three times a day online

Hows he going to be able to purchase something without a fixed address?

Exactly

 

[SideWinder]

Hows he going to be able to purchase something without a fixed address?

Well according to the blog entries, he has successfully ordered items...and is/was sitting in a shed.

 

[Visage]

Will he be playing an MMORPG?

 

[bingham67]

Will he be playing an MMORPG?

LOL send him an email

Hows he going to be able to purchase something without a fixed address?

Most online stores would allow him to order the goods sending them to The SUN headquarters, adding in a note like "Hand it to the bloke waving in the car park."

I'm more interested in how he's getting power to that laptop
