Even work put aside... if I'm home and my internet is down, I just can't physically stay at home (last time that happened, I actually went and crashed at a friends place for two days with my laptop).
It's a habit/addiction like anything else, except this one isn't eating up my neurones or lungs (just my time^^).

Well I just bought a new keyboard, it's all shiny and new but just doesn't feel the same as the old faithful one

Guess this proves the dependence...it died today and I already got another one even though I had a spare.

I'd say computers are going to be like electricity, or fire, or shelter. We don't exactly DEPEND on it... but since we've been using them for so long, found so many useful/entertaining applications, and have become so accustomed to having it around, when it is suddenly taken away we shit our pants.

A decade from now I wouldn't be surprised if people panic at their net going down

Without my computer and/or internet, I will go insane and eat everyone in a 3 mile radius within an hour. No lie.

edit: Used my 2k post to comment on my utter addiction to the internets...totally worth it

Well for me it's like, if I'm close to a usable computer I'll go crazy if I can't at least go check tl/emails. However I went on vacation for 6 weeks with barely any internet connections and I actually didn't miss it that much. But when I got back...oh god.

I don't understand the question. My entire livelyhood is 'on a computer.'

And to the OP, what about your laptop? Losing your desktop is sad, but unless you have your laptop with you at all times and carry multiple ways to access the internet wherever you are you're deliberately shooting yourself in the foot.

If you're going to be dependent, you should do it properly.

I don't depend on it too much. I have plenty of other things to do. The computer just provides more entertainment so im on it more.

I would say that I rely on my computer more for work then I do in my leisure time. I don't have much free time to sit at home on the computer and surf the web and to do all the other wonderful things you can do on the internet. However when I was younger I definately was on the computer at least 10 out of the 16 hours of my day.

Thats so true, when i go on vacation i dont mind not having a computer because im so busy with other things however if im bored then its on. Same with when im at home, if my friends are at work or in class then i get bored and just sit on computer but if they call me or im out then i dont really think "oh god, need internet neeeeed computeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer".
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Man, what WOULD I do all day without the internet. It feels like I've lived with a computer all my life. Almost, I think haha.

I guess I used to go out a lot more. Go biking, scootering, playing tag, basketball, 2-square, exploring...



Good old days. :[

I can live without my computer and internet. I've been forced to a couple times, but it is definitely not something I enjoy. It is a lot harder to get by without a computer after school though.
