    Internet is everything to me. I make money through internet, I watch news using internet, I learn new ideas through internet.

    Is internet useful to you?

    Most of people born in the last 20-30 years use the internet daily. For old foggies like me, it is something that we began using when we were teens or older. I wouldn't know what I would do without the Internet today.

    I disagree with you there. Life would be different but not boring. We would probably be doing more things outside, getting to know the people that live around us and actually exercise a lot more. Is all of that a bad thing? I do not believe it would be boring because we would find something to do. Maybe going back to the days of BBSs or playing outside would be a GOOD thing.

    Okay. It was just my opinion. But to some point I agree with you.

    I agree with you that is your opinion and you are allowed to have that. I am just saying that just because the Internet doesn't exist would not be the end of everything. It would make things a little more difficult in some areas but it would also make life easier in others. Think about it. How well do you know the neighbors in your neighborhood? Would you know more about them if you had to get out of the house to do anything fun if there was no Internet? Would you be getting more exercise walking around and doing things instead of sitting online and visiting various forums, etc?

    It WOULD hurt communications and availability of data. That could impact you negatively in other ways. I guess it is one of those glass half empty/glass half full scenarios.

    You will be fine without internet. If humans have survived for thousands of years before the internet existed, you will be fine without it for an indefinite amount of time. Of course, the internet is a source of information, entertainment, and communication. I like it as much as the next person, but the internet isn’t essential to survival.

    I love telling myself that I can live without the internet if such a day came and it was no longer there. As for now I don't know because through the internet is how I connect with friends, how I earn and also how I revise for my examinations.

    Whenever I need to clarify something the first thing I do is google it. So the internet is very useful to all of us since it simplifies a lot of things. Most things are done through the internet even some interviews.

    The internet has become part of us hence I don't think we could be able to live without it.

    If you would ask me? I will gonna say yes. We all humans can live without internet connection on our home just because internet connection is not essential to our life. You can live for so many years without internet, but we can't deny the fact that internet really helps us to make things easier and faster. We can't deny that internet is big influence for us in order to do things with ease. The impact of internet connection in our daily life in present generation is massive. So, I will say I can live without internet connection but since I myself is already engaged with that internet, my life would be totally boring if internet will just disappear because internet is a combination of entertainment. Thanks!

    It is definitely possible to live without the internet, there are many in the world who do so. However, I think it would be extremely difficult for me to live without the internet, especially because I have grown up with it and use it everyday for education, entertainment, and many other reasons. Therefore it is very useful to me as well.

    However, I do believe that using the internet in certain ways, such as using too much social media, can have a negative impact on us. Therefore, although I highly doubt I will ever be able to live without the internet, I think I will definitely try and reduce my usage of it in the future.

    Before my 20's I could survive without the internet. Now everything is online. You can almost not pay bills unless you do it online. Even ordering pizza unless you want to pay full price is better and cheaper online. Show me an adult that can go without using the internet for at least one thing.

    As a young male it may seem mandatory for me to use the internet, but it may come to your surprise that it simply comes as a benefit to my daily life not a necessity as other like to make it. Phones and technology seem to take up time, in the case of you not being productive, because let's face it we are all using this site right now and I hope it isn't something to solely rely on.

    We don't need internet to stay alive, but we rely on it for so many things like working remotely and paying bills. Today's teenagers act like their lives are dependent on internet access, not so much with young and middle aged adults. Discussions like this really show how much we come to depend on the internet. I've seen adults praise their kids for spending time outdoors instead of on their phones or video games all day.
