People used internet everyday to earn, communicate with other, discover things, play games and much more. For me its hard to lived without an internet because its one of my sources of income and a way to communicate with friends. How about you can you lived without an internet?

I could easily live with out the internet, as there are always things that need to get done.I think that there are a lot of people out there that tend to put the internet before real people in life. I also think that when people come to see you they tend to sit on their phones as well just to be able to be on the internet. Its a shame really as people would rather chat on the pc rather than see people in person.

I could live without the internet, but I would have no way to make money because I primarily make money from what I do on the internet.

I'm addicted to the internet so its difficult for me to spend much time off it. But in terms of living without it I suppose I could, but even in this day and age it's difficult to live without a computer. People can live without games, but I'm sure they'd miss them. It would be very hard for me to say the least to not be able to go in the internet.

Well Internet has been only popular in recent history. So I could live without it but it would definitely be difficult. If I had a question might need to actually go to a library or something instead of just looking it up online.

I can live. There is so much to do offline for me that a little break without internet is welcome: such as reading and categorizing my mom's personal collection of her pocket books for decades and doing chores and stuff. However, the sad part of it is that I can't earn much without the net but still, yeah, I can survive....I think.

Currently, no, I cannot live without Internet. My classes and work are partially online. If I miss one day I might end up ruining my grade. I used to think I was addicted to Internet. But since some days of the months I visit Bay Area I remain without it for more than 24 hours and I don't feel I miss anything. Of course, it is usually on weekends. But I am not much into communicating with friends through laptop. I actually get very lazy about it.

I can live without it. I've been to a country with no internet services and I survived. For some reason, it is boring not to have the service.

Can I live without the internet? Well, if you mean daily activities well I can live without the internet since I manage my cyber life and my reality. But if you are referring to work/job, well I really can’t live without the internet if it pertains to workloads because I am working as an online freelancer and I do make a living by it. So, without the internet, I can’t work and earn.

Well,i do not think i cannot live with internet.But without internet it would be tough to live even a day.It would be like a suffocation.I feel it these days, especially when i am travelling or when the internet is slow.I feel sometimes hard without internet especially during vacation.True that once i started my online earnings and blogging, it has been hard to be without internet.Also my full time employment needs internet.So in all ways, i am totally dependent on the internet for living and for entertainment.Internet has also helped me in getting many information about my things.This could range anything from health to finance to employment offers to world wide news.I might not be able to get local news which is still a drawback.I can up to date information on anything and everything from internet.I do not think we can live in future without future.It would become the basic needs of humans alongwith food,shelter and water.After all, we all need information to live and to live better.Thanks!

It really depends on the need of the person. Some person uses internet only for social networking and those persons can surely live without internet as they are doing most of the work offline. But some persons earns full time on internet like freelancers etc and for them internet is a source of income and they can't survive without it.

great question incomesufer. definitely something worth thinking about. We have become so addicted to the internet that we cant imagine a life without it. But really our ancestors survived without the internet didn't they? And I feel that they were much more happier than we are. So may be we should take a break from the internet, and actually go to see our friends. Its much better than chatting online.

Yes we can live without the Internet, but it would definitely be a hard adjustment. Being that I use the Internet for so much these days, I often think about the days when I didn't own a computer, and I didn't use the Internet at all. Seems like time went so fast back then, but the times when I've been without a computer because of it being down went so slow lol.
