Re: How long could you survive without the internet?

I pretty much agree with everyone's comments here... Although one thing has surprised me... And that is how much I rely on broadband itself, not just from having a reliable connection, but also the speed.

Today I'm away from home, I've got my netbook tethered to my HTC Athena as there is no Wi-Fi available, but, the connection I have is GPRS only, no 3G... That means I've been returned to surfing the net at 56k max...

Now, I'm finding I'm shocked at how SLLLOOOOWWW it is, but the main point being that at least I am still online... Does this mean that we're all spoilt by fast broadband, or does it just illustrate how we adapt ourselves and our expectations to new technologies?
