It IS true, you don't miss something till it's gone!!

a long moment without the internet is really a time we cant live with. no mylot, no social networks, no watching videos...its like losing a major part of you. but the one thing i would miss most when im long detached from it is my phone. one moment without it and i go nuts. what if someone sent me and its really important? what if i get bored and my music is all there? we just almost cant live without technology.

Sometimes i dont think that we quite appreciate having something until we dont have it anymore. Once something is gone, that is when we complain about what should have been and what we miss. it is easier when it is something inanimate. when it is a person that is gone, it can be harder to console ourselves with what we are missing now.

Its depends on our behaviour. If it is bad, we will miss our loved ones early. If we are normal the relationship also in peer motion only.

First welcome back! I have to say I too had a bit of the same experience but not nearly as long as you. Our entire area was down and no one had internet for 9 full days. I went bonkers trying to figure out what to do, as I do independent contracting and my assignments were lost. Having cut off the cable a few months before, I have to say I was so bored out of my wits, although even if I had cable I still would have fret as my assignments were waiting. So for me the not having the internet indefinitely would be so devastating I think I wold go absolutely nuts.

Hi oldchem. Am so happy to see you again after a very looooooooong time. Kept wondering where you had been and what made you stop being active here. Now I know why. Internet is something that I would miss very much. But most of all, electricity is what I would miss terribly. Power cuts in India is a very common site and when the summer is here, the Electricity Board cut the power off for even hours together to decrease consumption. Imagine how that would be in an already hot country! We had a power cut last night for about half an hour and that was the longest 30 minutes of the day. Electricity is what I would miss the most.

I miss my lover very much.. Earlier we two work in same concern in chennai , but now i went to Bangalore.. Really i miss her a lot...

It would be my computer too. I live in a remote village and have little contact with people. I keep in touch with friends and family via the internet. It keeps me occupied...my brain is kept functioning in ways that would noit be possible without the things I do online. It seems to be an addiction to be honest.

Very true! Se because we have that thing around we sometimes take it for granted and we do not worry about it going anywhere because in our midsn it will always be there. I have missed the internet for 3 months plus while moving and setting up a new home and waiting for internet services to be set up and honestly while I did miss the fatc i could not chat with my friends and family, it helped me to pick up the phone and call them more.

I think I'd miss my home sweet home the most. Just being at home around my things and of course my fur babies, I'd miss that the most. Of course I'd miss having the internet because of mylot and other sites that I visit regularly but being home is what I'd really miss the most. And yes, it is true, you do miss something once it's gone.

I have to say my internet is one thing I would miss the most. Also my foxtell t.v or cable t.v as you may call it.I can record programmes weeks in advance and watch them at my leisure,great for me as I am usually on the net while most of my shows are on. I don't think I would miss anything else. Cheers Sue

Well, of course we don't miss anything until it's gone because we have it... until it's gone. I already miss my health. When I was younger, I renovated a house almost entirely by myself. I had many small gardens, small only because I did not have the means to have a large garden until I moved here. Of course, since we moved here and I have over three acres of land and the ability to have a HUGE garden, I do not have the strength or health to do what I'd like to do with it. When I was younger, I didn't give my health much thought at all. (Only when something broke down did I think about it. As soon as whatever broke was fixed, I stopped thinking about it again.) Now that I can't do half of what I used to, I really do miss those youthful days.

Hello Sue - thought you hadn't been around much. I'd miss the internet most as well, I have to say. I spend at least two or three hours a day writing, then there's MyLot, and being in Spain, I'm in touch with most of my friends via email. We're going back to England for a month, and I have to rely on mobile broadband connection, which isn't ideal, so I can see me haunting the library whenever I have a spare hour or two.

Aside from my computer, I'm using my phone to connect to my friends all over the world. So if I won't be able to use it for a couple of days I believe that it's something that i'm gonna miss the most. There are times when i want to get rid of it just to see if i can live without it but then, it's impossible to do that on my own. I guess i have to have it stolen hahaha, which is something that i won't wish to happen to me. Anyway, welcome back!
