I go nuts when my internet connection is down even for just an hour. 90% of my every life is connected to the internet that's why I cant/mustn't loose my connection. But yeah it happens to me quite often. Usually, I pester the customer service of the net provider as often as I can and while waiting for the net I play an offline game to at least pass the time. Sometimes, I go to an internet shop but its not enough most of my files are in my computer so its quite useless to go online there.

If my internet connection fails for a week is fine as long as there are no important things to be done. If there are important things to be done. i go to our nearest internet cafe.

It's funny you mention this. My internet actually went down a few days ago. OK, the bill needs to be paid. But I went to the corner store and picked up a phone card for my cell phone. I have a Sidekick Slide. I can't multi task as well as a computer or maybe another cell phone. But I'm on myLot as we speak and I can still chat and make a little change. I can't wait for the internet to come back on though. But, thanks to technology there's always a backup. Nice topic.

I make my living on the internet. If I don't have the internet, I won't have a place to live. So understandably, I'd go nuts! I'll probably have to go to the library and leach Wifi every time I needed to get something done.

Even the idea of intenet connection fail sends a cold chill in spine. This is because that we have got addicted to it, or good reason or bad. In almost every walk of life, we have dependency on computer. From children to matured to old everyone uses computer for one reason or the other. Computer and internet is so easily available everywhere that you won't find any major problem. With same ease you can find compu engineers. Wherever privacy is concerned, you cannot used other peoples computer for personal work of confidential nature.

I am a PC / internet killer when I have deadlines approaching. I have experienced internet connection failed for a whole week just 2 months ago when I needed it so desperately for researching online. Luckily I still had internet access at office but it's already bring me to reflect about the importance of internet connection to nowadays people. I felt as if I had my hands & legs tied up! My problem was the IP address and I had reboot, disconnected for at least 5 times which was not helping at all. Tried to contact the provider's technical support but I was not home until very late at night, so I have to wait for them to contact me. I though I was going to kill myself if the situation continued for 8 days. Fortunately, I unplugged the wire connection again on the 7th day and it was recovered again for no reason and this saved my life! I found out then internet access is really part of our lives!
