If you lost the internet for an extended period could you survive?

Come on you internet junkies be honest.

I might have to actually read the newspaper, rather than Wagner's copy and paste of CNN headlines.

For me it would be difficult. I'm hooked. Cant kick the habit. It's like a drug. Well not really.

But some folks do have a problem.

The Signs of Problematic Computer Use

A person who is “addicted” to the computer is likely to have several of the experiences and feelings on the list below: How many of them describe you?

You have mixed feelings of well-being and guilt while at the computer.

You make unsuccessful efforts to quit or limit your computer use.

You lose track of time while on the computer.

You neglect friends, family and/or responsibilities in order to be online.

You find yourself lying to your boss and family about the amount of time spent on the computer and what you do while on it.

You feel anxious, depressed, or irritable when your computer time is shortened or interrupted.

You use the computer repeatedly as an outlet when sad, upset, or for sexual gratification.

You develop problems in school or on the job as a result of the time spent and the type of activities accessed on the computer. When you are not on the computer, you think about it frequently and anticipate when you will use it again.

Wagner, it was a statement without purpose.. No it was not a "shot".. It was more a reflection that I can almost always count on you to post current events or at least, links to current events with your opinion of the matter.

You don't need to read into it... It was really a neutral statement.

Dude....I wasn't reading anything into it...I was being humorous

It is a line from the movie "The Great Outdoors" where a guy says:

"Was that a shot? It felt like a shot?"
"No it wasn't a shot, it was the truth."
"Now that was a shot"
"Yeah, that was a shot"

I was spurred on by this news event and thought what would society do if this was an issue bigger than it was. http://www.xoutpost.com/lounge/42528-...light=internet
