If we didn't have the internet what would you do or feel. Of course if we didn't have it we couldn't do FC,but I don't think I would go nut's like some people would. I mean what did you do before the internet? :wave:

I would go nuts.
All my bills are internet automated.
My TV is linked to internet. It replaced my cable years ago.
I don't really mail anyone so email and social media is the way I interact through out the day with friends and family across the country.
I do use it for VOIP for cheap to free calls world wide ... so it replaces my long distance phone plan.
LOL ... WHOA no internet ... I am going nuts just thinking about it, especially since planning on automating the house.

I would! Imagine a day without fusioncash? I'd be hitting my head for missing out on the daily emails and ptcs hahaha. Most people are dependent on the internet, so i can imagine a day without it.

Yeah I would. The internet is where I make my money. It's also how I keep in touch with people.

Yeah I would be lost.  I remember moving and not having internet/cable for a couple days and was extremely bored.

Yes - the internet brings me news, conversations with friends, gives me lots of information quickly!

I was lost!

When we went through our internet change at our apartment building, it was horrible! First off, as I mentioned in another thread, the building changed to an unsecured shared, open, no password, no security, no nothing wireless internet!  I was really horrified. I wouldn't log into anything because of the security risk.

It was really hard for me not to log into my bank account, or my email. There was one restaurant in the city that had a password protected, secure wireless for their customers, and I'd have lunch there just so I could log into a few things, but I still wouldn't log into anything financial.

It's amazing how dependent I've become on internet access.

I would miss it; it passes the time. There are a number of modern conveniences that affect our lives that we live with now. They have improved our lives and just make things better and different.

I can live without the internet for a few days, but I don't know what I would do without it long term. I didn't think I could even miss a few days, but a couple of years ago I went on vacation for a week and didn't use a computer at all until the last day when I had to print up my boarding passes for the flight home. But this summer when I went on vacation I brought my laptop, so I guess maybe I'm getting more addicted.

I think the  days before the internet were less stressful all the way around. I do love having my internet but I also wouldn't lose my mind if I didn't have it. But that is just me, I can always find ways to use my time.

I have been without it for a few days a couple of times.  I would be somewhat lost if it were longer.  I did mnage to get more done around the house without the internet.  I should mention that without the internet, I was also without cable t.v.
