If I had to survive without it, of course I could, it's not like water.

I would need something to occupy my mind. But say I was thrown into a secluded town in the Black Forest with hardly any electronics, I would rather have that. It would also allow me to increase mein Deutsch Sprechen skills.

Not even a day. I start thinking about it and eventually I'd go insane.

Three minutes. I usually have a question that randomly pops in my head and I use the internet to satisfy my curiosity.

I have an iPhone so it's bad for me. I can have the internet anywhere I can take a call. If I was deserted on a deset island I would Professor me up a coconut laptop that ran on fire and connected via some home-made bunny ears.

Good luck with that, since when did laptops run on fire. Now if you used a hot potato, now that might just work. :)

As long as you have other forms of entertainment, you will be just fine.

Like, ten minutes tops.. In all seriousness, if my internet were taken away, I'd get very restless after just a day. I have gone as much as a week without going online, but that was by choice so it was a lot easier.

Just enough for a smoke break. No, I actually work most of the day so I can be without the internet for a while.

I've lasted up 4 months without internet. I lost weight, found other forms of entertainment I never thought I'd like. Among other things.

I should perhaps add that although I believe I am perfectly capable of living without internet, I would miss it and would prefer to keep it. :)

I just returned from a five day vacation in a cabin in the mountains with no wi-fi and no cell phone reception. It wasn't that bad. The natural beauty was better than any website, forum, or text.

In the past, I've lasted around four or five weeks without going near a computer. Probably double that amount maybe only once or twice. The need to log back on always kicks in though. I haven't tested how much I can really go without long term access. Although,I know that I could survive okay, 'cause there were years of not having a home computer.

It's been a while since I made a conscious effort to stay away. But I've learned that you appreciate things more'; people, conversations, having fun etc. The net can be a focal point for a lot of negativity or apathy at times, and when you're away, it's like getting part of your humanity back. :D On the flip side of that, I've appreciated the net more when returning to it.

Time does seem to move slower when your offline. When you're in that virtual bubble on a daily basis, it messes with your senses.

Approximately 32 seconds. I have to rush to make breakfast before I explode. :D

Seriously though, I once lasted a week without internet. But it was at a resort in Mexico, so there was lots of other stuff to do.

As much as possible. I will probably find other things to do.
