    Default Internet withdrawl

    So I went without the internet for 2 days yesterday. I just realized how much I need it in order to make plans for a good weekend, I felt disconnected from the outside world without it !

    The longest I've gone without it however, was two years, I don't really know how I survived. :\

    What's the longest period of time you didn't have access to the internet for?

    I didn't have internet access for about seven months.

    Ironically, I can't maintain a stable connection at the moment!

    About 3 weeks. I could barely get up in the mornings. I was like physically ill.

    5 months. I really didn't need it though and was totally fine without it. That's what motorcycles and cars are for.

    I went without internet access until I was 13.

    Since I've been using the Internet regularly (1995/6), the longest I've gone without using it has been when I've gone on vacation somewhere. One month maybe.

    About a year, since school banned me from using the internet since I just used the net in computer class rather than work on anything.

    These days, the longest was a week, and when I got back, so many people were like "Where were you? I missed you ;_;" It was most amusing..

    I've been without the internet for a good... month or so at one point. Well, I kinda cheated since the place had a modem, but I made sure I was only on for an hour at most a day. I've been contemplating whether I should "leave" the internet altogether and see if anyone would miss me.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    When we were in Alaska we didn't have internet for the first week, so when we got to a hotel that had free internet we were like "Yays!!" My husband's family was like waiting in a line in our room to check their email. xD

    I didn't really know the Internet existed until I was eight or so. So about eight years without it. But when I did know about it, I went about two months before cracking up.
    wheee!
