I myself can't live without internet at home or at office. Internet can help me serve my needs especially if I want to know the answers from the problems. For me, Internet is my problem solver of all my needs. How bout you? Can you live without internet? Why or why not?

I can live without the internet or mobile phone or electricity. We have lived in the province before without such things and I can say I enjoyed most of my stay there. I love going to the field to clean our small farm, plant some fruit trees and bananas, etc... I also want to sleep at night in our nipa house in the field and listen to the sound of cricket and other night creatures. No electric lights or gadgets to disturb my communion with nature. That does not mean though that I don't enjoy using the net. I am actually hooked to it morning till night. I can learn lots of thing here, I can earn some extra money, I can make friends and visits places that I never went to. But then, I don't want to get enslaved by any technology. I enjoyed what technology brought us but I don't want those things dictate my life.

If I had to live without it, I guess I could. I wouldn't be happy as it has become a big part of my life. It is one of my sources of income at this time and also helps to keep my sanity,lol! I try to limit myself on the weekends and when my family is home, I would much rather be with them but I still need to have access daily.

Yes I can live without it only if others are also not able to access it. If it is only me then it will be difficult because I am used to it very much. Even if I am out somewhere else and there got an opportunity to access internet I will do it just to pass some time. I can stay without internet for few days but for lifetime I have never thought because I am using it daily for hours.

Of course I can live without internet. Although internet is playing more and more important role in our daily life and work, the negtive effects of the internet should not be ignored.Scientific research Have shown that people who addict to internet tend to have no interest in daily activities with family or friends.In addition,I think that spending too much time in front of the computer is not good for our healthy.I always feel dizzy and my head will ache if I spend prolonged hours online.Do you ever have the same feelings as me? Have a nice day!

I can say that i am addicted to internet.I cannot live without internet for 3 days. If ever we had problem on our internet line it would take at least 2 days to get fixed. I go to cybercafe.I am connected to most of my friends through internet. I see Manga which is released almost daily which i read regularly. so i cannot stay without internet.

These days,except for sleep, eating, I found I spent many hours on the internet each day. Without internet, I don't know how to work, live, study......In my spare time, I am alway online. We can gain many from internet.
