What would you do if the internet went down?

[ChrisH]

I was without one for about two weeks. I could not believe the things that I got done during that time. It told me that I spend a lot of time
aside from work time on the Internet.

I too was without the internet when I moved in here. Can't say I got any more done without it than with, perhaps something to do with the fact I'm retired, home all day and lazy. Seriously though, the internet doesn't take me away from anything that needs doing or things I like doing, I'm not on it that much, I just use it like any other tool or pastime, when I need or want to.

By the way, although I own a cell phone, I seldom use it. It is there for me in the event I have an emergency. I am not fond of talking on any phone, let alone a cell phone. I enjoy long conversations with close friends but will go out of my way to avoid calls not necessary!

Your a woman after my own heart sas!

I enjoy my privacy and wouldn't want to spend my life on Twitter etc. - letting everyone know the last time I brushed my teeth or what I bought at the store....or where I am going tomorrow morning..... WHO would REALLY cares anyway? I don't get the "let me tell you all about myself in detail" that seems to be so important these days, on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace

Again a woman after my own heart though I would separate Twitter from the rest. As I wrote before I do 'tweet' occasionally but never with anything that could be called personal details. I use it mostly to follow others, Steven Fry for one, a very witty gentleman, and I'm also enjoying following and supporting Eddie Izzard on this marathon across Britain for charity.
