If the internet had to be shut down for a month what would you do

Well, if internet shut down for one month then i will be out of picture as its saying " out of sight, out of mind"Other than mylot and gmail, i will loose contact to friends other then brother relative and friends, i have phone number and send them SMS or give them call in a while. other thing will be that i use ot for official work too as whats going in the textile markets, whats trends are in, and other site as well as communicate with customer, afrter internet we rarely use fax machines but still we have 2 connections and can use them, but it will be hassle again as currenly we are paper free and to maintain rexcord is easy So its getting part of life Take care

I would feel so bored without the internet but i can't do anything about it if it shut down for a month.Life must go on for me and i think i should just wait until it come back.

I would not like it a bit. I have found that I have started to rely on the internet for some banking and other things, besides all the email that I would miss. I could call most of the email friends that I have made just to check to see how they are, but I would really miss mylot and other such sites where I really don't know anyone. BUT I would get other things done that I should be doing many times when I am online writing on mylot. I have so many things in this apartment that have been neglected that could get done. Right now the vacuum needs to be run.........and I have about 100 books to read!

I would just hang out and do other stuff, the www isn't my life.

If the internet was going to be shut down for a month or even a day I know me and my fiance would be lost,because right now we are having a lot of trouble finding a job and the internet is out only source of income,so without the internet we would not be able to make money to buy the stuff we need and want,and I agree that it is one of the ways I keep in touch with friends whether it be my mylot friends,or my real life friends that I talk to through myspace.

To be completely honest, I would steal my neighbor's internet. It sounds bad, but I have more to do online than just mylot. I'm an online student and I manage all the finances online. It would be hard for me to be without internet for more than a day. Even then an entire day without internet would drive me a little crazy.

I am a writer and I hated to have to buy the books I needed, and I also sing, so I hate having to find out information on other way than on You Tube. It is going to cost me big time, having to go to buy the dvds and the cds rather than going to You Tube and listening to them. And what of the research I do for my novel? I mean I will not have extra free time, I will have less. I will have to take the bus or get my husband to drive me to the library and either if I go downtown or to the one two miles away or more, it still takes time out of my day. With the internet, I could just leave our computer room, grab a vacuum, wash the dishes, or whatever. When the internet is off for a month, I would not be able to get anything done. As for myLot, well I would miss that, not just the people and the friends, but I would have to watch my budget more tighter and say, "I cannot afford that," even to a chocolate bar.

Probably almost all the same stuff all already do besides no internet.

If the internet was shut down for a month, I would probably be very bored. I get on the internet during the day after I get my chores done, it gives me something to do. I would also lose contact with my friends. I'd go crazy..lol.

i would really miss it but like everything else that happens i would deal w/it. what other choice do u have?

While mildly frustrating it wouldn't be a huge issue for me. I've been without my computer or internet at various times. And the first week (internet withdrawal) is the hardest. LOL After that you adjust. Some years back I was without my computer and internet for over 6 months. I know it made me focus on life more, rather than a computer.

Actually, there are many things to do when the internet is shut down. I can write stories, draw, listen to music, read books, text my classmates, hang out with my friends, watch DVD's, study for school. Those are just some of the things I might do. But the internet is the thing that keeps me occupied for hours. Nothing can really compare to it...

once habituated to internet it is difficult to leave.we have many works regarding our life.if we lost internet 1 month it is highly impossible to do everything.all works will be stopped.just lost life

If internet is off for a month? I could call or text my friends in my cellphone. Maybe we meet and hang around like we used to do when internet was still not a fad. We'll go to the beach or the mountains and enjoy real sceneries. Fresh air... awaken our senses.... sight, sounds, touch, smell! :-p We'll have talks over coffee and will have a great time talking in person.

Although this is a very unlikely scenario, there is a SMALL possibility that something like this could happen. I personally would probably just increase the time I spend on studies, and for any extra time I have hang out with my friends & increase the amount of time I spend watching tv. Nothing big, really. I would miss the internet though, sadly.

tell your service provider and so they will do action

I'm sure I will be bored for the whole month, I can't check my emails, chat with my friends... But before I have the internet access in this house, I have not accessed to internet for about 2 years, ealier in the 2 years I don't even have television at home. the life bored until crazy. I just watch whatever drama or movie copied back, else just sleep. After I have television, I watch the programs from television, the life at least not that terrible. But now have internet access, so great!

Well, I've got most of my friends' phone numbers in my mobile, so as far as keeping in touch is concerned I'd still be able to be in touch with most people as long as the mobile networks don't close down as well, and as long as my phone is still working! Overall I think it would be quite refreshing if the internet shut down for a month. I'd probably do more productive things with my life, and see more of my friends and family, lol! I know I could do this now and just keep the computer off, but I just don't have the willpower unfortunately! .

Keeping contact with my friends,searching for information,designing models...all those things will be stopped if the internet is shut down.I have seen a movie,which contains a sentence,"Everything will find its way"(maybe,it isn't exact).Therefore,maybe I will find a new style of life to enjoy myself.Simple life is always the thing I am looking forward to.I can call on my friends,get what I need in the library and designing on papers. Though all the problems caused by internet being shut down can be solved,I really it will never happen.

hey pls do not say that i am very far away from my family so it is just the option left for me the internet.... through internet i can chat with them on regularly basis because it is not possible to make international calls daily oh god i cannnto imagine my life without internet...
