DH and I have a strict no phone/computer rule while we're away. It feels SO good to be cut off from the internet. </p> <p>And at home, I can be without it-- esp these days I hardly pay attn to my phone or laptop unless I'm wfh or postathoning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-139850 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:52:02 +0000 heffalump 139850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love going on cruises- no phones or internet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-139016 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:27:46 +0000 pastemoo 139016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can go months, but I need to be somewhere interesting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138930 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:04:50 +0000 lavender 138930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of days, good thing for smartphones :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138902 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:47:50 +0000 Running Elley 138902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'm on vacation I don't have a problem with it…the longest so far has been our honeymoon which was 7 days. If it was just a normal day though…I don't think I could! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138898 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:45:53 +0000 regberadaisy 138898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is this you talk of?

We are changing TV providers and my DH asked me yesterday if I just wanted to do internet. I said noooo way! LOL. I love my cable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138448 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:12:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 138448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind going several days without the internet (especially because my work is all internet-based!!) BUT what I do mind is the catch-up required after being away from it for so long!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138413 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:52:26 +0000 littlebug 138413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm on vacation and not needing it for work, I could probably go a while. We didn't have easy access to the internet on our honeymoon, and had it not been for the hurricane and needing to rebook and change our flights, I could have easily gone the full 11 days without.</p> <p>ETA: I have to use it for work, so...MAYBE 30 minutes if I'm working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138409 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:48:12 +0000 DillonLion 138409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh...forever?

Normally I would go into withdrawl if I couldn't at least check my smart phone during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138339 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:00:33 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 138339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exactly what @mrbee: said.<br /> I can't really live without internet.

However, having the phone's GPS to help navigate us around is a huge lifesaver. Guess I could bust out the good ole paper map, if necessary.</p> <p>Otherwise, I don't think I could go very long bc there's only so many things I can do before I start twitching for the internet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138071 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:29:50 +0000 mediagirl 138071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm on vacation, I could do without. Everyday life? I'd go crazy without it. Being available online is part of my job so, it would be pretty tough without it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138056 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 01:30:55 +0000 Rosie Girl 138056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could go pretty long without it, except while I'm at work! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-138027 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:50:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 138027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends... I did a lot of my college classes online, so when our internet would go out, it was bad. I ended up having to go to a coffee shop for hours to do homework. Or worse, it'd go out while I did my homework at 12am because I worked during the day, and I couldn't do it at all - so if it's during the school year, I can't go more than a few hours.</p> <p>But otherwise, I could go a few days, as long as I had something else to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-you-can-survive-without-the-internet#post-137862 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:10:06 +0000 Nskillet 137862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dudes, we lost power in CT for 7 full days this october due to a freak ice storm/snow storm. No heat, no electricity, no nothing in towns all over the state.

It didn't faze me all that much, but maybe because I have internet on my phone? </p> <p>I think the longest I've gone without internet was 3 days? </p>
