What did you feel when you remained disconnected from Net continuously for a Week? These horrible days have never come in my life & I hope will never come in my life in future. I can't stay without internet. Every now & then I need something from net in some form. I basically use net for Information retrieval. What's your opinion about this?

Yes i have stayed many times without internet for months and i regularly experience this coz when i get back to my village here i dont have this facility there so i have live without internet. It does not bother me coz i never make internet my passion. Yeah it disturbs a little but dont affect much.

yeah i had that time when strong typhoons hit our country and flooded most of the country badly. and left many homes in the city submerged on the water. for some days. so we had no electricty that time cause some were electrocuted. ha ha. but in our place my home was submerged for only a day. but out of electricity for about two days. and we were not able to put all the things back. we had to clean all the floors that the flood had submerged and left all the dirt and black mud in our floors. i was not that too concerned about internet cause i had so much in my hands back then. i had many things to do and to clean just to put my house back to normal. thankfully after a full well. every thing , i mean my home is back to normal like nothing have happened though there were still occasional rains and some small typhoons. but we didn't get flooded again.

It's okay for me if there is no internet connection in just a couple of weeks but a couple of months is a big deal. If I have no internet connection I will go to computer shop to manage all my account on the internet...I don't feel what you feel when there is no internet connection...Have a nice day!

Without internet? No no no! I can't live without internet. It makes me feel insane. If that happens to me, I'll force myself to rent one unit that has internet connection in a computer cafe.

It did't happen to me to be disconnected for so many days and to be left without internet. I would be very nervous. My connection was for several times interrupted for about four hours and it was awful. I do my business on the internet so it's like a daily job. I do not conceive a day without internet, a week would be a crime!

this has never happened to me and i would be pretty annoyed if it did. my computer is my lifeline for so many things. i use it to make money from home, keep in touch with friends and family, do my oline banking and paying bills and for other correspondence. i would be lost without it. how did we ever live without computers and the internet before?

This happen to me the end of last month. I was moving and had called the phone company to have my home phone and internet transferred to the new place. The date they gave me for over a week away. I was totally lost that week. I had no internet and home phone. Thank goodness that I had plenty to do or I would have gone nuts. Because of the big delay I had alot of catching up to do. Im still doing the catching up. Have a nice day and keep smiling.

I haven't experienced that for a week but we did lose internet connection for couple of days, about 4 or 5 days I guess. And the experience was really something I don't want to happen again. I feel so bored every time I remember that I can't surf or be online. It's really a sad time knowing that I'm used to being online everyday. I just hope it won't happen to me again. I really need to have internet connection everyday since it is needed in my job.

back in august during the weekend, I lost my wi-fi signal; I was sure my internet connection was gone for good. however, the signal came back on 3 days later an has been steady, thankfully since then. however, if I had to go a whole week without seeing my e-mails or being on mylot I would probably smash my computer moniter.

Without using the Internet, I feel bored most of the time. I once stopped. from using the net for 5-6 days because of some error in my computer. I started obtaining information by reading textbooks in the library, and sometimes I wouldn't get any. It takes long and tedious to get info from there. I guess the Internet is indispensible.

The longest time that I have disconnected from internet was about half an a year and that time was when about month using mylot. Then I need to go to my hometown where there is internet connection and no internet cafe. So, its quite sad because I can do my online activity like I always do at University.

Without Internet - The Internet has been a part of our daily life, without it, it may lead to a side effect on many people.
I have met such a situation before. But now, I may get annoyed if I have to stay without the Internet continuosly for a week. Every year, when the holiday was coming, I would have to go home and keep away from the Internet for a long time. At that time, I was really annoyed because the Internet had been a part of daily life and I couldn't continue my daily life without it. Now, if I meet such a bad situation before, I may tend to to try my best to keep the Internet accessing normally. You see, the Internet has been a part of our daily life, without it, it may lead to a side effect on many people.

same here... I can't stay a day without internet connection. Without internet for a week will make me feel so bored. It feels that everything I need is just inside the internet.

Hey from the day I have learnt to use internet constructively it has become a part and parcel of my life.I can hardly think of a day when I have not used the net,leave alone week. Internet is the biggest revolution in the modern times.Starting from the knowledge database to the shopping arcade it has catered the needs of every form of society and touched people from all over the globe. Atleast I havn't stayed without net for a week and can never do that.Its my lifeline.I dont know about others.
