How long can you bear without internet? email this discussion to a friend?

Hello, mylotters!
Nowadays internet is already a part of our life, to some people it really matters when he/she is totally cut from the internet. I'm sure that almost every mylotter here has experienced a day without internet or even longer. And my question is how long can you bear without internet?
You can share your record or just predict how long you can live without internet.
It starts from me: I don't like laptop, coz they don't give me wonderful game experiences, so i chose PC, last time when i went home and i left my PC in my dorm, i had 7days without internet, at the very beginning it really freaks me out, and later by reading books i calmed down a little bit, but it doesn't last long enough,from day 5, i began missing internet and really wanted to check my gmail and mylot. I don't know how i made through the last 2 days, but 7-day is my longest record without internet.

You are just so honest, i'm a little bit sure that your life connects to internet so closely that you can be cut from it.
Thanks for sharing
Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!

Hi! I don't know maybe for a day only and after that I will need to find internet connection.
I have many things and activities that I like and routinely to do in the internet.
So, when I'm not online is just like I missing something in my daily life.


myLot reputation of 93/100. kianli (342)   ranked 260 out of 6,351 in internet  2 months ago

Yes, internet filters into our daily life.
Take myself as an example, i use gmail, google calendar, google docs, google voice and google maps in daily life, i can't handle many things without internet connection. I remeber last time when Chinese government blocked Google entirely every Chinese netizen feeled uncomfrotale, many things can't be done without google, even people in the government felt the same.
It's already a part of our life, if you are cut from the internet i must be feeling like losing something.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!

I remember when I broke my PC last year because I cleaned up the motherboard, I think I didn't have computer and internet for almost more than a month, and your right if freaked me out, at first, but as the days passed I learned to lived without them because there are a lot of things that I can also do with my spare time. Happy mylotting!


myLot reputation of 93/100. kianli (342)   ranked 260 out of 6,351 in internet  2 months ago

I agree with you. But it takes time to adept to life without internet.
Just like the movie " Cast away" when all of a suddern you are cut from the environment you are familiar with, you need time to adjust yourself to the new one.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!


myLot reputation of 97/100. charmz1005 (384)   ranked 3,998 out of 6,351 in internet  2 months ago

I just used the movie "Cast away" yesterday as an example also, LOL. Yup, that movie was so good and realistic, I remember his friend the soccer ball, what was it's name? I can't recall it anymore. Well, your right about that, adjusting is also a very difficult thing to do and takes some time.


myLot reputation of 93/100. kianli (342)   ranked 260 out of 6,351 in internet  2 months ago

I'm from China, Tom Hanks's movie " Cast Away" is in our English textbook in the charpter of friendship.
I remeber it's a volleyball but not a soccer ball, i can't recall the exact name of the name. I remeber Tom Hanks played a Fed-EX manager Chuck Noland, movie begins with he use Fed-EX send something from U.S to Russia, on his way to Malaysia, his plane crushed, he spent 1,500 days with his volley ball friend on the island.
Have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 97/100. charmz1005 (384)   ranked 3,998 out of 6,351 in internet  2 months ago

Yup, my bad, I thought it was a soccer ball. Thanks for the BR! I really appreciated it. The bad thing about what happened after I think 10 years? Her wife got married again right? But she didn't stop looking. shocked

OMG!!! I dont think I would be able to surive without the internet at all. Its amazing how much our lives depend on it.. I seriously do everything on it..


myLot reputation of 93/100. kianli (342)   ranked 260 out of 6,351 in internet  2 months ago

When think about this, i began to think about my parents and their parents.
My grandparents live in the rural area of East China, in their time,no electricity, infrastructure not able to survive so many wars, warlordrism, CPC-KMT civil war, Japanese Invasion, Civil War after WorldWarII ended,electricity infrastructure only available in big cities like Shanghai, so they are accustomed to life without electricity.
And their children my parents can't make it without electricity.
I mean no matter where, even a country dominated by dictator, the tide of human progress can't be stopped, the only point is the speed.
Someday we will all enjoy what human progress bings to everyone.
Have a nice day~

Before, I can't stand a day without net.. and then I realized that playing noline games is ruining my academic grades so I stopped for 4 mos.. and recently I started logging in again but only for an hour or two everyday:)


myLot reputation of 93/100. kianli (342)   ranked 260 out of 6,351 in internet  2 months ago

I think most young people can't make it without internet.
What online game you are into? WOW?
I don't why i don't have feeling for online game, my all-time favorite is CS and Red-Alert, recently i've been palying "Zombies vs Plants" it's also very popular in China. I found people talk about this game on Facebook, and i tried it's really cool one, and when i found it's difficult later, i wanted to find tips from Facebook, but it was blocked by Chinese government:-(
Thank you for sharing~~

It's really my pleasure that i can have your first response!
Internet cafes are also easy to be found here in most places in China, but there're also places where it's Mission Impossible, like some of the places in the remote areas in the west provinces in China.
Thank you for your response.
Have a nice day!

ya i do agree internet,cellphones are absolute necessity of today's life.i too have great dependence on internet.if their is some problem so that i am unable to access internet then i start missing them. i would try to access through my cellphone then.but maximum would be just a few days.


myLot reputation of 93/100. kianli (342)   ranked 260 out of 6,351 in internet  2 months ago

You can surf the internet without a computer because nowaday the cellphone's network is great, 3G is available, there're also great cellphones like apple, g1 and others.
Only limit to cellphone is data plan if you ran out out of your data plan it's really dangerous then. It'll be great if you can have a unlimited data plan.
Thank you so much for the response.
Have a nice day!
