My internet was down for the past hour or so. It didn't faze me all that much, but maybe because I have internet on my phone?
I think the longest I've gone without internet was 3 days?
-
We went on vacation recently and I went 8 days. Didn't miss it a bit!
-
It happens a lot here overseas, but it still drives me crazy every time. All of my contact with the english-speaking world is via the internet!
-
One week?
-
2 days... maybe?
We lost power because of an ice storm and it sucked not having internet or power for 1.5 days. My kindle died and I had to use this thing called a 'book'. Oh, then my iphone died, too.
-
0.0 hours because all my work is on the Internet
-
If I'm on vacation, I can do without for as long as the vacation lasts (8 days being my longest so far).
AND I'm TRULY without internet, because neither Hubs nor I have smart phones.
-
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 was the craziest time of DH and Is life!!
-
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.
But otherwise, I could go a few days, as long as I had something else to do!
-
I could go pretty long without it, except while I'm at work!
-
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.
-
If I'm on vacation, I can go however long. 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.
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.
-
Sure I could survive without internet... but what would be the point?
-
Exactly what @mrbee: said.
I can't really live without internet. I would go in major withdrawal. -
I made it 6 days without the internet while we were on our honeymoon. Normally I would go into withdrawl if I couldn't at least check my smart phone during the day.
-
Uh...forever? Many generations have lived full lives without the internet
-
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.
ETA: I have to use it for work, so...MAYBE 30 minutes if I'm working.
-
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!!!
-
@mrbee: You said it!
I also don't think I could live without cable TV. 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!
-
What is this you talk of? I might start itching like a crack addict.
Just kidding, sort of :P.
Maybe a week and I better be on vacation!
-
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!
-
A couple of days, good thing for smartphones
-
I can go months, but I need to be somewhere interesting
-
I love going on cruises- no phones or internet.
-
I love vacations. 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.
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!
