In cutting costs, would you consider getting rid of the internet?

noooooooo i heart intranet

I think that for most people it is a necessity on some level. If I didn't have it at home I still have to pay for it at my businesses. Also my son is 9 years old and he uses it for school. Nowadays we don't have the references layin around that we had when I was a kid, like the dictionary,encyclopidia, thesaurus etc. Heck I even throw out the yellowpages now.

No. I love the internet! I use it to communicate and keep in touch with people; learn things and find info; intertainment like games, vids, music, mylot; and plus I am going off to college next year and so I know I am really gonna need it for that. yeah there is no way I would give up internet unless I was absolutely forced to. Internet is becoming a greater part of our lives, with school, work, and even just everyday life. You cant do anything without internet these days. I think that it would be real hard for almost everyone. But the good thing is that phones have internet now and for a lot cheaper, so that makes it easier to have internet.

I would definitely keep the internet no matter what, the internet tends to be my sanity these days, all I do is go to work and go to school, the internet is my place where I can relax after work and school, it's a nice leisure thing. Also, my significant other and I must communicate through the internet, since he lives all the way in Sweden and I don't see him as often as I would like to (though I will for a month this December when I travel to Sweden ), so that is how we catch up. If worse came to worse I would result in writing letters, but the internet is very convenient, and postage takes a while and costs money as well. I can't remember what it was like when the internet wasn't a thing everyone had, it's definitely better than having television... I would drop my phone and tv connection before I would give up my internet haha. Happy mylotting and have a great night or day!

Not my internet, I would get rid my cell phone, stop drinking my diet cokes, I am trying to think of something else I would let go to keep my internet. Gotta have my internet.

I honestly don't remember the world without the internet. It's like everything became sooooo accessible after the internet. If you need a number for take out, go to the internet. If you need to send flowers to your gf or wife, go to the internet. If you want to travel, go to the internet. If you need up to date news, go to the internet. If you need to know movement of stocks, go to the internet. The internet actually made our lives easier and it actually gives you more time to do more things.

I'm hoping that I wont need to cut costs too much - for a few reasons... Fisrt, if we all stop spending, things will just get worse. Second, for the time being, both my and my husbands jobs are pretty secure, plus we have a home business that can pick up the slack if we need to do that more. Now, I just user the Internet for fun at home, but it wouldn't be one of the first things to go. We'd cut out dinners out first - we tend to eat out more than we should anyways. Other than that, I think we live pretty frugally so it'd be hard to say what would go next, but I need the internet for sanity reasons so that would not be on the top of my list.

No, all my income comes from the net. I also do tons of activism on the internet, which I consider "my rent for living on the planet" to quote Alice Walker. I won't give that up.

The internet actualy makes money and saves money for me. I would not. I also like it because it is entertainment. It would be very hard and terrible without it. I also hope they never start charging us to use it.

for me to cut cost i would have to let cable go i love my internet i be online more than watching tv.

I could never give up the internet! I love it too much! I come on here and get my e-mails, check the weather, pay bills, keep in touch with friends, and so much more! I have been using the internet since 1997 and I know I could not do without it ever again. I think society as a whole depends on the internet on a daily basis. It is more affordable now than ever, and with places like myLot you can earn a little money in order to afford the internet service. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

Internet costs me $15 per month. I would just drive one day less and that would pay for a month of internet. No, I would not, unless I was in dire straights but I earn money from the internet so that would be silly.

i do not thnk i would rid of the internet if i need to cut cost. having hte net has become a part of my life now. i watch my news, soccer programs, games all online now. i would rather sell of my LCD tv and use the proceeds to pay for the internet if i have to. haha. there are so many activities related to online today so riding it may not be advisable, at least for me. so i will try my best o keep to it, even if i have to eat one meal less per day.

Internet is the most important in todays day to day life.As you said it is the primary source of income.Here what ever the cost may be it is required.So I think it is important primary source.

Hi MM..I only came on the net a year ago and now I think though I don't use it for work it would be hard to give it up also as it is my way of keeping intouch with everyone here and finding out all sorts of which I would never of been able to..littleowl

Yes I would. I would get rid of all unnessesary things and the internet is unnessesary. I have a library about 3 miles away. I am a colomist for a magazine on the internet, but I know I could still meet my dedlines even if I had to go to the library to do it.

Because the Internet is a mind of information and can keep you occupied for a very long time,as well as being very interesting it is one thing that I would think very deeply about before I cancelled my Internet contract.The Internet package that I have is not an expensive one,it is a standard one,run of the mill,and it works out around four pounds a week so if you work out the time that I spend using and surfing the net then that is good value for money.but yet again for me the Internet is a hobby and I have no need of it for any work,so if the crunch came then it is not a necessity.I understand that there are many people who work from home and use the net daily to access email and to contact their clients,so for the businessmen and the businesses it is a must.

No, I cannot handle to get rid of my internet connection for it is also one of my daily work in the company and even in buying all of the things we need in the Shop for the DVD for we always bought all of our things through the net with the Amazon and for my wife as well who is working in the English Magazine she need it in any way of surfing as well and get connected with the people she need to write on a topic.....

I would not give up internet, it is just too important for me. I think economic crises were here and will be also in the future. This is just temporary situation which repeats in curves. Sometimes we are up sometimes down, that is is all. I think there are other things everyone can safe the money, turn of the lite every time you do need it. Use wisely air-condition, and things like that.

i won't give up my internet because this is my bread and butter. i work with my computer and i can't live a day without it.
