Our lives are filled with tech. We are surrounded by it especially our smart phone which makes us connected 24*7*365. I would like to ask, What is the longest you’ve been offline? What’s on the internet that you couldn’t live without?

@vsai2008 thanks. It's not as hard as we think. Specially when we have things to keep us engaged :-)

I was away to Manali in the month of April. Where I stayed, there was not no internet. I remained offline for almost three days, yet I survived.

@vsai2008 Yes, mobile phone with data/internet connectivity has become part and parcel of life and while at public place I find that 9 out of 10 are busy in their mobile, ignoring the people around them.

@dpk262006 That's true, today I saw a person crossing the road talking on the phone. He just missed hitting a two wheeler. An elderly person beside him scolded him like anything

A few days once when I was visiting my mother and forgot to take my cell phone. It was a very difficult time for me since no one could contact me and neither could I ..

I think the longest I've been offline is about a week. I don't have a smart phone and don't connect with my phone, only my computer. It isn't necessarily the Internet I can't live without, but as an author, I use it for all my research as well as blogging and playing an interactive game.

The longest lately at any one time that I would say I have not really been online, and kept up with people and things was the end of last month when I was in the hospital after having surgery. There are many things I would miss if I could not get online. This site #1 is one I would miss as I would miss the communication with all the wonderful people I have met here.

We've been offline for months at a time as our computers die, or the internet goes down. I'm a facebook addict so I would miss that the most. I would miss amazon because if I didn't have the internet I'd not be able to download all the free books for my kindle.

Im sorry, I am online everyday. But I think, the longest the I've been offline would be 4-5 hours only. I couldnt live without internet because it is the only thing that makes me happy. If you only know my story, you will know why

Maybe a day or so -- not really sure. I'm off several hours in the evening. I don't know that I "couldn't live without" -- but I would miss talking to a friend on Facebook.

I went 18 years without ever using the Internet. Since then, the longest I went offline was about a year or so -- I would occasionally check my email on someone else's computer, but my boyfriend and I didn't have a computer or internet so I rarely went online then. Recently I was offline for about a week while recovering from surgery. I have a hard time staying offline because I'm addicted to Facebook.
