How Dependant Are You On The Internet?

[Calum_M]

I once kept a journal of my thoughts when my internet went down. It wasn't pretty.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

I will only say this: Whenever my internet goes down I yell at my router at the top of my lungs.

 

[RandomWords]

entertainment...thats about it.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I'd survive. Lack of email might be annoying, since you never know when something important might come up.

 

[Quantum Star]

It's my lifeblood. Nearly went insane on a two week vacation without a connection.

 

[dududf]

Fuck that is pretty good.

Although I may be partial to the fact it has asian women dancing.

>_>

<_<

I am rather dependent on because I do spend the entire day on it. However I recently went in holiday with no Internet and was fine so I suppose if it isn't for a long period of time then I'm okay without it.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Well I could get by without it, it'd just be a lot more boring. The internet's pretty great!

 

[PayneTrayne]

If I'm at home, I'm pretty dependent on it as it's my favourite form of entertainment. But if I'm out and about, I don't even think about it, going for weeks at a time without using it while camping.

 

[Extraintrovert]

I have no idea how to answer this question. I recognise that I use the internet as a massive crutch for me to ignore my crippling issues and I'd probably kill myself if I had to face them, however I've also managed to last well enough without it before I had access and I can think of plenty of things I could do if I didn't waste so much time with it, so I don't know.

 

[PurplePlatypus]

Oh pretty damn dependant. Most sources of entertainment are on the internet for me. Forums, steam, learning recourses, it?s where I buy or at least research new reading material, art supplies and console games. Oh yeah and my university has a number of uses for it. Sure there is the learning resource centre with internet so I wouldn?t be totally fucked in that regard but it would mean a lot of needless travelling.

In the short term I would be fine without the internet, long term it would seriously fuck me over.

 

[hyperhammy]

Too much... which is starting to bother me.
I have an on again/ off again relaltionship with a girl in Minnesota. The only way I can keep in touch with her is over the internet.
I have another on again/ off again relationship with a girl in Göttingen, Germany. Same as before.

 

[Quaxar]

Well, I could go on without internet for a week or so. In fact, I did this just two weeks ago and finished a lot of books instead. Thing is, I don't want to do it since I get most of my daily social interactions over the internet (Escapist, MSN, ...) and I would miss it if it was gone.

 

[nunqual]

Well, it keeps me unbored, and I do most of my talking to my girlfriend through the internet, so if there was no internet I'd be bored and sad.

 

[Cazza]

Not much. If Im out of the house I forget all about it. I don't do much surfing mainly gaming, when the internet is out I LAN and Single player.

 

[Marter]

Incredibly. It is my primary, (and realistically only) means of communication with my best friends. It is also my primary source of entertainment, and a means to get information.

 

[neoontime]

Eh, I could live without for a while but why would I ever want to leave the escapist again.
