I don't think so. I spend like 3 hours a night watching tv and use my phone to stay in touch with the world. Not that anyone really cares where I am at moist times lol ...and I have emails that need to be checked everyday....like the fushion cash daily email haha

....When i use to live in philippines you dont even get to use that much electronics, I was always outside doing a lot of things and actually I was more active then than I am now. So I would say no i might not be able to live without electronics if Im in canada but if in philippines for vacation yes, i can surive XD

Never and that is so bad! I'm constantly on facebook and fusioncash and am texting all day. That's how I stay connected to all my friends that I'm not able to see

Now that would be very hard for me to do.  I just retired and now I'm on another schedule.  Each morning I turn on the TV and my computer for another active day.  Yes that would be hard to face.  But just think our fathers didn't have it sooooo good or did they?

I miss the old times when it was just a phone in a wall. Communication is so distorted now by all this fast paced technology. But it has become our reality life could never go back to before the technolgy/electronic baby boom. Dont get me wrong Im living main stream too. For me its not having access to a phone. I could do it, go back to the non-technology but life wouldnt be the same

I've just realized right this moment that I might not be able to survive even 6 hours without any electronic devices: computer, phone, etc...

What do you think? Could you survive at least a week without any electronic of any sort? To make a little simpler, how long do you think you could go without any electronic device?  :wave:

Don't you ever go camping? lol

I could survive but I probaly wouldn't like it. I'm not an electronic junkie but I think the things I use add quality to my life. Now when I camp I don't take any of those things along.

Probably not. First of all, as a college student, I am constantly on the computer, checking my student e-mail, doing homework, etc. Even in the summer time, when I am not in school, I usually have school related things to take care of, and they are usually online. Secondly, I live and breathe video games. I probably play video games at least 2 times a day, for like 3 hours at a time. I would be so bored out of my mind without them, I'd probably do something really dumb just to take my mind off of them! My cell phone I could probably live without. I don't really use it much, and I live close to everyone who'd I use it to call anyway, so if worst came to worse, I'd just go see them myself.
