Living without a Web or email? LOL! You kidding? These damn tools have become so addicting that living without them is damn hard – you need a get a full week stay at a Web-Rehab Center to even start to think that you can – or can not live with or without them! LOL!

In short, yes, you could tehcnically live without email or the web. In fact, people surrived for thousands of years before the introduction of modern technolofgy. However, since we are all used to the modern amenedies of life, it would be difficult to get used to, and things would be harder on the offset.

Myself, I can’t live without a computer and internet, both are like my 2 favorite hobbies, I spend most of my free time on internet, obviously in a computer, and I am now computer/internet dependent, most people that start spending time on internet start becoming dependant, actually, not most, all of them, like you say, I don’t know how people are connected to information if they don’t have internet, tv and radio isn’t like enaugh, it covers so little information, newspaper is kinda wide, not as much as internet, and bla bla.

Actually, when internet goes down in my house, I get so frustrated, I feel like I’m wasting time of my life, like there is nothing else worth doing.

Well, I’m pretty sure those percents are going down each day that passes, and I’m also pretty sure that there will be a day where internet is going to be like a must in a human’s life.

I think this is what OLPC is all about. Bringing technology to those who can’t afford it. But to answer the topic, no. I rely on email and the internet daily for my work, school, and play. There is no way I could do what I need to do without them. Now, I could still do word processing and such, but the internet is a very important part in my daily life.

I could live without the Internet I guess, but life wouldn’t be the same. When I say same, I mean rich. I gain such a huge amount of information, and music, and video through my computer I don’t think I would be nearly as cultured now as I was say a year ago. For example, right this second, I have just been invited on a camping trip! How else could I have found about that so quickly without this computer! I’m an active musician also, and without the internet and email promoting our selfs and organizing gigs and what not would be nearly impossible. So I guess I could, but I don’t think I’d enjoy my one life quite so much!

Oh man! I couldn’t live without the internet. That’s a shame too. Jenn and I went to a friends house for the Memorial Day weekend. We took the laptop but there wasn’t any access out there in the country. I was so bored and just blah. It’s amazing just how much we depend on the internet.

if i was never introduced to the internet in the first place i could probably live without it like many generations before me, but now that i have used it i do not think i can ever go back.

I could not live without the internet. There is way too much knowledge and voice on there for me to let it go for a second. Without the web or e-mail, there would be no live.pirillo or chris.pirillo.

I’m an addict, I can’t go a few hours without checking my favorite sites.

I think the internet could easily be seen as a public utility, but keep this in mind. You know that spot on your phone bill where you pay per month so the “have nots” as you say can have access to telephone services “in case of emergency”? That thing where your money foots their phone bill? If we call the internet a public utility, you will likely be charged the same in order to make that happen. Think about it – do you really want to pay for someone else’s internet access so they can surf free porn or other not so educational sites?

As far as texting goes, I find it highly annoying. I don’t have a texting plan and I yell at anyone who texts me randomly. You can leave me a message and I will check it and respond promptly, but there is likely a reason that you are sent right to voicemail….
