    If not why? As for me I can easily manage without the internet for a week.And I find the less I use it ,the less I want to use it.

    Then once again the question must be asked - why are you here?

    I can manage without the internet, I have before when we went to India for a month and a half but it doesn't mean I want to. EDIT: This is excluding work, of course. Half the time I email my work to myself when it's easier than using USB and I access my school files using the school website. Not only that but we use it in our IT lessons and I use it for research and the like.

    Of course I can.
    It isn't vital to my survival.

    I have before, it's easy if you have many things to distract you.

    no, i couldn't. i hate wanting to know something and not being able to find out immediately. i write music and often use online resources to do so. i am fully attached to my laptop and blackberry. i am a fucking 21st century techno-kid.

    Yes I could and have gone without Internet.

    But why?

    It makes me money and links me to the outside world.

    Plus there is stuff I want to learn and research.

    Love me some Internet.:D

    LOL. In Hawaii people use the internet too.But I guess a small part of "how much and how often" one uses the net is where they do reside.For example,it is easier to be out and about here because of nice weather and beautiful scenery etc. year round.

    I would miss my downloading, but that would be it...

    But then I would miss playing my computer games with people online...But that is all...

    It is, in it's own cold, dark, wet and windy kind of way...

    The odd time you do get nice summery weather though, it is fucking glorious!

    I've been without the internet for about two weeks now. My mum took our computer to her new office, then failed to get internet at her office. I've been losing my mind. So I've just been very intoxicated and very outrageous lately. She FINALLY hooked up the internet in here, but I still have to fucking leave my house if I want to use a computer.
