Can you adapt your life to live without internet?

[Lotus Victoria]

Just curious about this. Do you think that you can live without the marvellous wonders of the world wide web?

I think I can, but it's really hard to think about all the things that I'd lose: Google and all its services (Drive, Gmail, Keep, Youtube, Maps), Reddit/MMOC/Imgur/9gag, and other things too. Social networks like Facebook doesn't matter at all for me, but the things that I've said earlier would be kinda hard to ignore.

And you?

I lived without for five centuries. I can live without it again.

Absolutely.

Internet is mostly a business tool for me.

[GennGreymane]

I prob could, but it would take time as the internet is my main form of entertainment and is basically essential to my work.

Hi methuselah, glad you´ve made it to the 21st century.

What's your secret to your longevity?

As for me...I still roll with a modem dial-up so I already live without a lot of things at the moment.
And I'm quite comfortable with that.

It's surprising how much time I have left when I turn my pc off.

I would be out of job and my education will be mostly useless. It's possible, but some would not consider being homeless a proper life.

[cFortyfive]

Probably not both my private and professional life are pretty much dependent on the existence of the internet.

here i was thinking yuppies were a dying breed.

I don't get the connection? What do you mean?

[Freemand]

Nope. No way.

[Deleted]

you are a yuppie.

A young urban professional?

No, I live in the countryside I can't stand filthy, crowded cities.

[Mitters]

I would probably kill myself from boredom in less than a month

[Spiral Mage]

Pretty much every core aspect of my life relies on the internet in one way or another, so absolutely not. When the modem died one night, I was like: "Well, I could watch some TV ... oh wait, nope. I can't .." cause I have Hulu+ and Netflix. So even my TV was worthless to me with the modem dead.

Unless you're a farmer, or local doctor or something you're probably a yuppie.

How very 1980's of you to use the term

Are you over 50 years old?

[Mayhem]

here i was thinking yuppies were a dying breed.

The irony of 5000+ posts on the forum makes it so much better.

[Independent voter]

I would get a lot more work done.

[Sam the Wiser]

Yeah, but I'd have to find the cave where the MMO-C's will gather. Still going to need my weekly dose of shit posting.

Not if one is living in an urban environment.

So maybe a YRP...young rural professional?

Hmf...sometimes I think the country as a whole should kill the internet for a day or two during the month.

[Deleted]

No, it's just there really isn't quite the right term to describe what yuppies have become.

So you are saying yuppies have become... yuppies?
I dont quite follow.

I also think of the term as a compliment btw. Being young and sucessfull is hardly something negative.

[Mayhem]

Yeah, but I'd have to find the cave where the MMO-C's will gather. Still going to need my weekly dose of shit posting.

Is there a zoo near by? I´d suggest watching some apes throw shit at each other will do the trick.
