Could you stay off the internet for 24 Hours?
 

I don't think I'd make it :rolleyes:

*Poll

When you work with the internet / computer ALL day as your full time job, it's quite easy to stay away from both of them on the weekends..

So yes, yes I could. :)

I was off for about 6 weeks straight this summer (vacation). It was nice. :)

I can't do it :(

I blame vB for it

my eyes would burn out for sure !
so, no I can't

I could.

i could these days but have to admit in the past ive spent days on the net.Ignoring me family - ignoring me children (i like this bit :))
TBH i got more enjoyment out of the net when i was on 56k than i do on my super fast adsl.

Voted YES

Nope.

I've had to do so a lot over the last 3 months though and it is been sheer hell!!!!

Nope, i tried when i was in vegas for the 2006 sema show and I couldn't wait to find a puter to go back online.........

rofl
If i was in a city I could get off for life

Yes, when I'm on Holiday I have no access for a week (or however long it is).

Just did it this past 24 hours..
I don't think I could do it for 48 tho.. :rolleyes:

I would be surprised if anybody here truly ever went without the internet for just 24 hours. Don't you go out of town? Visit family? Go on vacation?

I realize that even when you go out of town, you can still take your laptop and get wireless, or go to an internet cafe, or the hotel has a computer with the internet...or something along those lines...but there are many times I go places and don't have internet access for 24 hours and I end up fine the next morning :nervous:

That happends maybe once a year :cross-eyed:

Then you can do it ;)

The answer is always no. Next poll please.

Guess :D

Yes, I could.

Actually, sometimes I need to stay off the PC for a day or so. That way the sun isn't foreign to me.

If I can't get to an online computer for whatever reason, I still be online but on my cellphone. It's slow, and a tiny screen, and a bit of a pain to use, but I still do it.

I've actually been without internet for the last 3 months, but it hasn't stopped me from being online.

Hasen't happend :(

No way, i love me computers lol. But i have a christmas break coming up for 3 night i wont be on, its going to kill me hehe. Its not like im on the computer all day and night, i just like to check my sites at least 2 times a day.

Even more than 24 hours...

Easily.. :)

I spend just a fraction of the time that I used to on the internet.

Nope

Same here.

I might spend 3 hours a day online now.

I'd love to, but given both my job and freelance occupation are both directly web related, that wouldn't be good from a I-don't-want-to-get-fired standpoint. Done it before, though, and it was relative paradise.

I can and do, though I have withdrawel and always think I'm missing something.

I do.

I did.

Congrats!

I could. :)

I can and usually do - Spending all day either working or taking classes to fulfill my CS major tends to burn me out pretty quickly. I usually spend the weekends as far from my computer as possible (Unless I'm doing some studio recording, then I don't have much of a choice.)
