How long would you survive without internet?

So if your main internet connection went bang and there was no way to connect via your mobile or other way how long would you last before you went crazy?

Also considering that the internet is our livelihood, so how long would it take for having no internet to cause serious damage to your career?

Well i'm not going to lie here...as a freelancer internet is the main thing that i need to do my job, i'm making money just because of internet, if internet would go down forever..then i'll find myself in pretty big trouble. Actually, to be honest i think i can survive exactly 3 days without internet, after 3 days i can't predict my future, probably you'll find me lying on the ground trying to reinvent the fire lol

LOL yes I know what you mean! I've had plenty of internet problems which I won't get into or this might turn into a rage... but there have been days that I have had no internet and I felt like a caged animal, pacing up and down.

The worst part about that for me was that I didn't have a phone at the time so I couldn't even contact the Telecommunications company to rant and rave at them. I felt so helpless and angry.

I think I can survive maybe 2 days tops with zero internet before I go completely crazy. Work well I don't freelance for anyone, so I don't usually have a commitment to a customer. Yes I do the odd review but those companies are not usually in a rush or worry about how long it takes.

So I could probably go up to a week before it starts causing problems with my work.

Shudders at the thought of it. Sometimes when we get a power cut and the power's off all day or something that starts to get me a bit worried about how long it will be until it's back up again. It doesn't happen a lot but usually when it does I'll not have a full charge in my phone. So I can go online and check on the status of the power cut in my area and do certain limited things like check emails, check on here and update orders and things like that. But my whole day basically grinds to a halt. The same would happen without any Internet as well. If I never had any internet at home and not even any signal on my phone or a power cut or something, I would probably be forced to spend the day in my local library using a public computer which can be tricky as they often are locked down so much so that you can't do simple basic things like download file attachments and stuff like that so it would be quite awkward. I don't know how long I could manage doing that. I'd probably have to seek out an Internet cafe somewhere who's computers aren't usually as restricted as library computers are. I'm not sure how long I could manage doing that though as I usually require the use of my PC throughout all the day from morning to well, morning lol and they would have to close up for the day at a certain time. I guess it would help to get a certain amount of work done and that but it wouldn't be ideal in the long run. So quite honestly, I don't know what I'd do.

Could you imagine if there was some technical glitch or something that caused the Internet to stop working altogether? Imagine if nobody had any internet connection at all. The whole world would basically grind to a halt and nothing would get done. No wages would be paid, nobody would be able to do any shopping or pay any bills. Send emails or do any business or anything at all online.

Kinda like an Internet apocalypse. Scary thought right!?

Great topic so far. But I think I can't leave any single day without internet now a days. For my personal offline and online work I need connectivity. Even when I am involved in study that time I need internet. So, it's my part and percel.

Yes I think that is the case for most people isn't it? We are so reliant on the internet and so used to having it 24/7 that when it goes down it is a big problem!

Oh man! I, personally, could survive but my businesses on the other hand could not survive!

Internet is the main source for all of my businesses if i do not have internet, they do not run and then I can not feed my family.

Even if I am only down for a little bit, it would still affect me and my family.

Yes I can totally understand that! It is not nice trying to imagine what it would be like without internet, especially when your livelihood depends on it.

As freelancers we NEED the internet. I would end up trying to find another job if the internet had to vanish because how could I contact clients, and who would need articles to place on websites! My! It is scary come to think of it. The internet is the most important element of many freelancing jobs, and even if i were to spend a day without a connection I would end up badly. Orders will start to run late and this would impact subsequent days. I really need to stick to a schedule to keep up with it all.

I don't want to imagine a world with internet connection for the connections that I've gotten working on the internet is immense and one that I wouldn't want to lose out as a result of poor internet coverage. I always stay away from places with poor signal as a result of this fear of having weak network connection.

I am thinking of a scenario that I am vacationing in a remote area where there are no signals which means no phone and no internet either. Maybe I can last for a week or more if my stay in that vacation place is pleasurable like there is a nice swimming spot, good food, nice people and clean environment. But just for testing my patience that there will be no internet in our home then maybe 3 days is more than enough.
