What would it take for you to give up the internet....for life?

[dukebound85]

Interesting question that was poised by an article online where most said it would have to be in the millions of dollars before they would consider it.

As per me, tough call, as I use it everyday in a multitude of facets but in all honesty, I would do it for a mill or two. How about you?

I wouldn't do it. My job requires the internet and that's also what I use to talk to my boyfriend everyday (he lives 5500 miles away).

Brain death.

I need it for work but if circumstances changed or had a different job, and had another way of getting lots of news at once. Yeah. I'd probably do it.

Because I'm a news addict. The only sites I visit are the BBC site, game news sites, macrumors (frontpage) and Twitter/Facebook.

Reading most threads on MR would push me to the brink, I can tell you!

 

[Firestar]

It would take a lot. I keep in contact with friends through the Internet, find a lot of information, it helps with homework, etc.

Once my student days are over, having a hot wife would probably be enough.

 

[Melrose]

I could certainly live without it. I just wouldn't have all the conveniences or monetary opportunities I currently have.

Brain death.

That ship has sailed for me - and I still use the internet.

give me a million or two and I'd forget all about the interwebs easy and fast (once the check clears)

Nothing.

It's been ingrained into my brain

100 billion dollars.

I figure I could use some of that to fake my own death, assume a new identity, and buy my own private island with a high speed internet connection and no one would ever know that I was still using the internet

yeaah..

plenty of money, nice home on some tropical island, hot wife... the only technology i would want would be my ipod for music. other than that I would be good.

 

[-tWv-]

I dont think I could do that.. Don't really want to think about it

 

[sk1wbw]

Hmmm... easy. Catherine Bell madly in love with me and willing to do anything.

That would get old.

For 100 billion, I'd buy a private island with constant shipments of books, movies, booze, etc.

To hell with the rest of it.

And, women. Don't forget the women.

Unlimited cars, a big garage and a house all expenses paid and free gas. Wait, there is a check engine light? Lets read the code. I'll just go look it - "O F&$*"

I would not give it up. It's too useful. The things I would want to do with millions of dollars would require access to the internet unless i had an "internet person"

 

[Eyeheartfrogz]

Only if it became non-existent

An asian girlfriend.

 

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

a smile from you

 

[StvenH90]

Maybe $100 million, idk... I make money of the internet and it currently pays my bills. I am sure the type of work I want as my dream job, would require internet for communications and work it self.

So I say, a bullet to the temple.

42 virgins in heaven

42 virgins in heaven

May want to put more detail in that statement. In case the OP is a wish granter or something.

 

[SlovakApple]

I would go with the hot gf/wife.
