What would you do?I will be bored to death?Do you realize that nowadays our source of entertainment is more to internet compared to others?Frankly speaking,how many of you would rather check about something on the internet rather than visiting a local library to borrow a book to?I would personally surf the net for more information?Seriously,I will be bored till death if I do not have an internet connection.I would feel that I have lost a hand or a leg or something if I can't access the internet.What would you feel or do?

I had a bad connection once.I was chatting my friend when this happened.Each time I type and send to my friend,it gets disconnected.I was like "oh damn,it happened again".Arrghh,that was bad.I got really pissed and bored.It was raining and I can't go out either plus the cable channels weren't working due to the rain.I really felt freaked out.True Karen, can't live without it :)

I am freak out for a while. I experienced it last year when had a big flood in our city. I did not use internet or computer for 2 weeks. I repeat 2 weeks! My hand itching to type. I feel like I am out of comfort zone. I feel like I am so not updated from all the latest news. (Funny cause you also can check all latest news from TV or papers :) ) Hope I will not had that scary experience again.

my internet is down for most of the time.. It's unpredictable when it'll work and when it will not.. So it does not make a big difference if it is down for 1 full day..

i might feel lost because i need to check my email, promote my novel, chat with some internet pen pals. but if i know it is only temporary, i will probably go in my bedroom and read a novel, watch tv, or go to the gym to work out.

A day without the internet would be hard. I am accustomed to waking up early in the morning and sitting in front of the computer and surfing the net. Without the internet, I would be bored. I guess I have to find other things that I take pleasure in. I will find good books to read and just curl up on the sofa for a few hours or maybe pick up a cookbook and start cooking a sumptuous meal for me and our family members. A day without the internet would be a great challenge but I am sure that I can handle it.

Oh my goodness. I can't even begin to imagine just letting a few hours go by without going online. And I can totally relate to that feeling of like losing a limb or something because there's no connection. Sad as it seems, I have become so independent on the internet that at times I even find myself asking why the heck am I online when I don't really have anything to do anymore. But if it can't be helped and the internet really goes down for a day or so, I'd probably go and do something, anything, that could take my mind off of it. Otherwise, I might just go berserk and start smashing things or something. Oh god how I pray that that day may never come. Haha.

True,I feel like jumping off the Tower I'm working in if I don't have internet connection.It's like the first thing we do once we boot the pc will be connecting to the internet and start browsing.You wouldn't have anything in mind till you see the browser.

I had that happen to be before. I was about to go crazy too! When my internet just cuts off and I don't know why! If I just don't have to internet at my house, I will miss it for a few weeks, but I get over it! I just do there things. One of the things I do when my internet is off is go on my patio and read. I love to read books and other things, so that is mostly what I do. I also play the Sims 2 on my computer! Time flys for me when I play that game! :)

I've had a few times where I woke up to no internet for forgetting to pay the bill. Its usually only out for 4 hours or so but that 4 hours always takes forever. And it always happens on the days that nothing is on tv and theres nothing good to do outside.

Well.. it wont effect me much tot. Since I use the net mostly when I am in the office. Well, at home, if the net is down, most probably I'll end up playing my game console, or doing some other stuff. Seriously, it wont effect me much.
