Can you live without Internet ?

India

Internet has become such an integral part of our lives these days, that it almost seems impossible to think of days without internet. Be it for official chores, or for our personal needs, all of us seem to be just hooked on to this world stage called the Internet. No work in this world seems difficult with the useful Internet around. Be it downloading the latest softwares, or listening to the latest numbers, or downloading interesting games for PC, internet has really become a very important part of our lives.

Hello prashantatrohini18! I actually can live without internet. Why? Because I was born and grew without internet. I just have my computer last year. I agree with what you said that internet played an important part of our lives these days. I even met my husband through internet. That's why although I said I can live without it, my life won't be the same without internet.

Of course I can "live" without the Internet but I would not enjoy my days so much if I were without. It is the first thing I turn on in the morning and the last to get switched off at night.

Huh?? What are you asking??? I did not say "off course"..definition: not moving in the intended direction. I said "of course"..definition: without any doubt; certainly

That's sounds a pretty emphatic "offcourse". But what about "oncourse" then?

I do not think I can do without the internet and computers. like you have said, the net is such a important part of our lives I do not see any going back. there are so many inporatant and not so inportant things going on the internt these days that it will never been given up. Yes I can take a break from useing the net and I have been away from the net for up to a week or so. but after a while, I will need to check e-mail and pay certain bills.

I can live without internet..But i will be hard and i will miss it so so so much,haha. If someday the internet gone and we are compulsory to not using internet, i think we still can live eventhough we will be suffered at first time.. :D , there's no internet in ancient time but people still live. I know internet is very very important, but we will not gonna die without it =p

I have the same feeling, i can live without internet. And my life may be more healthier, because i have more time to go out without the inetert. But i will miss it so much too, because it brings me much fun.

Personally for me, I cannot imagine my life without being online and surfing the Internet, posting here in myLot, etc. as well. For me, I have found the Internet to be a Good way to keep up with what is going on in the world, and everything else as well. It is an interesting way to learn about things for sure.

Today, I just realized how much my family can't live without the internet. Instead of calling the bank to see what we had in our account, which takes about 2 minutes to do. We had to wait for about 5-10 to turn the computer on, log on, get to our bank and sign on from there. I need the internet, because it's how I make my extra income that I get to use to splurge on myself and my kids. My husband goes to school, and his classes are online. Just a few things that having the internet has helped improve our lives.

Hi prashantatrohini18, It would be tough. I remember the times when internet went down for me and though I have a working computer, the computer just doesn't feel alive lol. I can't do many things on it. Even if I don't want to do any internet-related things, I think want the capability of doing them if I want to. Cheers!

Hello prashantatrohini18, I think I still can live without internet but of course with the wide usage of internet, it helps me a lot in my work - be it personal or official. For me, it is still not an urgent need but with it, I kind of feel comfortable and it makes my life easier.

Hey there! Literally I can, everyone can. But to live without the interenet for our daily lives and work is very difficult. Like what you've said it makes a lot of work easier and convenient. If you have some research to do you can do it with the internet and you can find the specific and updated topic you are looking for. Unlike with books or encyclopedia you have to turn the pages to find what you're looking for and it's not updated. The internet has become a necessity to our daily lives. Have a nice day. Happy posting!!

Very true buddy! EVen i feel the same about internet today. It almost seems like just another necessity that we need to do to stay healthy like going to the loo, taking a shower, brushing our teeth etc.

It would be very very difficult. The power just went off my house for two minutes and the first thing I missed was not the light but my internet. It is hard not to just think, let me go check on the internet, or I'm bored, I'm gonna go find a whole bunch of stuff to do on the internet. It is almost scary. I don't know how I was just fine before it, or without cell phones.

Not a whit. Its has become difficult living without internet. It has almost become an indispensable part of our lives. Life has become so much easy with its arrival.To me its a vital element of life...

You are right internet has been the latest addition to the way of life nowadays. Well, I have been without internet when I grew up and only pick on the net recently I think I still can adjust to life without internet. I am not too dependent on internet as I view it as an accessory and not a necessity in life. They are more worthwhile things to do in life besides going to the cyberworld. I can say having internet has also its downside. We lost touch on our real friends when we surf the net endlessly. we get addicted so we lost the reality of the real world.

Sure I could. When I go on mission trips to various places I must admit I like being away from all that stuff. Phone, internet, tv, everything. I like a simple life. A simple life is less expensive.
