I do not know if I could live with a computer that did not have an internet connection because it would be hard to get by just playing games,typing stuff and printing,especially since me and my fiance are having trouble finding a job right now due to the shape of the economy,and the fluctuating gas prices,and we depend on the internet to help us make money,especially since we are in the middle of planning or wedding,which is set for September of next year.

Okay, it is their choice so we have to deal with it. This is not our problem anymore but their own problem. Happy posting.

I have people that I know who are like that. They have the computer and no internet and I can't understand what they really do with. I mean sure you can write up articles, but when I see a computer I expect it to be connected.

That kinda defeats the purpose of having a PC. There are still a few free internet providers out there. You may not have 24/7 connection but a few hours a day is better than nothing. Even AOL will give you a free trial. That would drive me crazy. It's like having a TV without any electric to turn it on. But then again maybe they like it that way...

I think it's a loss if a computer can't have an internet connection. As the searching feature is quite important. And the communication by email or online chatting is so convenient. I think the internet a necessary part for the computer:) I love China

Being connected to the internet is very important to many of us now a days, but there are still people who cannot afford the expense. I can understand that as, if I didn't need to have it for work, and my son for school things, I am not sure I could justify the expense on our present income. There are certain things you have to give up when incoming salary is low. Hopefully your friends will be able to get online soon.

ME TOO! My computer must have an internet connection. Without internet connection, I do not see my computer have any use. My daily life is always stick to internet. Without internet, we cannot come to Mylot. Cannot search any information. Cannot find any entertainment! As I am not a computer games fans, a computer with internet is a MUST!

Hi subha12, I my case we have the previlage to have internet connection at home for it is free subcription from the computer we bought so i have all the access to the web. But there are times that the internet connection is not available and it last atleast 3 to 5 day the longest i think. I feel so bore for i dont like to use computer without it. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I also didn't have an internet connection an year ago and didn't feel much bad about not having it. I never really used the computer much, but later as studies grew tough I had to get one and now I can't live if I do not have internet for even a day. It's just the amount of time you spend with it that makes you have an opinion about it. If you really connect to many people over the internet, then it sure is a hard time to live without an internet connection, but if you do not have a connection, then you won't really feel the pinch of not having one. bourne

Now i will feel bad if computer without internet connection,but it doesn't mean that i can't do anything,there was no internet when the first computer was invented,it was invented for arithmetic,the internet show as the development of computer.When i own my first computer,i have no money to connect internet,i used it to play games and watch movies and learn...But now if i have no internet connection i will be mad because i can't visit mylot,and i don't search any resource what i need,it is bad for working.If there is really no internet,i think i will be used to,just i need some times,it just turn back original situation.

hey i can give better explanation for u, even i have frens who have computers at their home and feel the same as ur friend felt,they feel like that because they have never tasted the flavour of internet and they never knoe what is the power of internet so obviously they are ignorants so they will refuse to accept that internet is great and they see to pass the time without any internet connection

Hi friend, I dont think they are ignorant for they always come to my house and use my computer because it has internet connection. I think they just dont like to pay the internet bills for it is cheaper to go outside to go to internet cafe than having internet connection at home. Thinks for responding.

I remember enjoying my computer before the internet became widely available. It was nice to be able to do reports and letters, to be able to edit, save and print multiple copies...instead of having to use a typewriter. I also had 2 or 3 games, that I played a lot, and enjoyed. Could I go back to that now? Probably not. One gets too used to having readily available information, news, chat and unlimited games at your fingertips. When there is disruption in the internet service (weather), it drives me crazy...lol.

Hi Margarit! I guess its pretty boring to have computer without internet connection! And I have the same situation before when I was in India for a year, I have laptop and no internet and its fine to just play games or do some other things that I can. But I guess I have no choice that time but just play games! lol.

I think i can't live a day without using my computer. A computer without an internet connection isn't really useless. You just don't have the priviledge of learning something new through internet.
