The Internet is so integrated in my life I cannot depict myself without the convenience. I sort of experience this during my remote International travel endeavors, but I sometimes go through my withdrawal periods during these time too, as I like the resource. I tend to be high strung when something is not right and cannot duplicate a task as I can when I'm at home (i.e. I hate block / censorship when overseas even).

I'm sure I probably could but I don't want to.  I wouldn't be able to get on fusion cash!!  :confused1:

It would be very hard. I just recently moved and was without internet for just a few days and it drove my crazy.

I guess I could if I had to, IE could no longer afford it, broken computer, but I would be VERY miserable for some time.

No I don't believe I can. I love being on the internet, becuz i'm addicted to it lol. I mostly like to be on the internet to get on YouTube and watch videos and going to various virtual pet games websites.

I guess I could live without it, but then I could not do my fusion cash.  Would get more done during the day. But darn would also miss hearing from all my friends and family on face book also. Then my darn phone bill would be out of sight.

I agree, I don't know what I would do without the internet, I get bored without it.

I really don't think I could live without the Internet.  It's my lifeline to the outside world these days in so many ways.  I live in an incredibly rural area so I don't have TV reception.  The only way for me to get TV in the house is through my phone company and that isn't a possibility for a few months yet as they are still installing the lines in my area.  Then, I'll need to weigh the packages to find the most cost effective one. 

I use the Internet to get my news and weather, local and for the rest of the country and world.  I use to the net to find and apply to jobs in my area.  I have an amazingly wonderful friend in Newfoundland I met on the Internet that I talk with several nights a week.  I would be absolutely lost without him to talk to and the net makes that possible and so much easier.  I find information I need through web searches and am able to work great sites like Fusion Cash to bring in some extra money.

Without the Internet I'd be lost.  Absolutely.

I live in a remote area too and still waiting for the cable to be installed in this area. I had DISH up until a couple weeks ago but I disconnected it when they went up on the price AGAIN which took it up above $40/mo. I had started out with the basic package at $30/mo and over a 2-year period they increased it regularly. Finally, I just got so disgusted with it and refused to pay increased rate every year while flipping channels in disgust with the programming that is available. I have satellite Internet b/c the signal is impossible to get here on cell phone unless I go outside in the yard. I spend most of my time on the Internet and pay all my bills on the Net. I also have a friend in Newfoundland that I regularly chat with. Funny, we seem to have a lot in common,stbernard!

No, I would not want to live without it.  At this point in my life, I boot up the computer first thing in the morning THEN run the coffeepot.  I have come to depend on it.
