I definitely could do without a cellphone and it would not bother me at all. The first time I even got a cellphone, actually tracfone, was about 6 years ago. Had it for about 1 year and decided that I didn't need that very much. So, I've live without one of those for many years before that and after that until this past December when my husband bought me a tracfone for my birthday. It's basically only there for emergencies seeming my job takes me on the road alot. Now for the internet, I can live without it for weeks and even months at a time, but that's about it. If I go any longer, then when I get online, I feel overwhelmed and bombarded just looking at way too many emails. Some junk, but most from family and friends. One time I went alost a year without having any interest for the net (life was crazy busy) and I had over 1,000 emails just in Yahoo. Forget my other two accounts I have. Well, looking at that, I was like, I'm off of here fo now. So really, I can't go to long without coming online for if I do, there's really no fun to it by the time I get through the emails. What did you find out about yourself? Can you live with or without either one from your experiment?

how dependent am i? i can say that i can stand on my own. my have my own source of living even if i don't work. but i am not satisfied with it. i make a living to provide for myself (going to college and helping someone...financially). i don't need any ones opinion regarding on what am i supposed to do, i take actions based on what i believe is right and everyone will be benefited from it.
