I lost my pc and all stuff a couple of years ago in a break in.\n\nIt was amazing , how slowly and surely that the PC and cell phone (called a mobile phone in the UK)\n\nTakes over your life.\n\nIts scary to think, we can live our entire life with just ordering stuff on the internet.\n\nWe never need to talk to another living soul again.\n\nBut on the other hand its interesting the way we have communities like yahoo answers to bring more ppl together.

I love my cell phone and now I don't have a land line at home. Like anything, I think it can be abused or overused. I think its very rude to be dealing with a customer or walking with someone and be on the phone with someone else.

You can live for about 8 weeks without any true sustenance (food) but a few days without water means death.

Well, the internet is a wonderous thing. Like you said, you can use it for almost anything, and the answer to everything you want to know is right at your fingertips. The likelihood for all of us is that we will become dependant on it in some way. Net addiction is a real and serious thing, and some people do let it take over their lives. When one finds one's self neglecting real life friends and obligations it's time to step back from the PC for a breather. I find it easiest to turn off the computer completely so I'm not so tempted to sit down and have one quick game every time I have to come into the computer room for something.

We no longer have one at our house.  The Internet is through the cable.   And we all have cell phones.

Of course, but two things. You will definitely get hit with some heavy duty roaming charges but the good news is since the round trip for a signal to get here and return is about 4.4 billion years you can probably duck out on the charge since you'll be dead.

Kind of internet? \n\nTwo old cans and a piece of string.\n\nNah, High speed is the way to go nowadays. If you want to be completly portable, get a wi-fi network in your house

i have a friend who got so addicted in watching TV shows he threw his TV away...but im guessing u wouldnt want to part ways with your computer :)\n\ntruth is, all the answers are great, but if u cancel ur internet connection, u'll also have no access to ur emails, important news and info, things that make the internet vital.\n\nwhat i can suggest though is for u to busy urself with other things. realize that there are better things to do with ur time than spending it in front of the internet doing whatever ur doing. catch up with old friends, read a book, do volunteer work, or try to recall what it is you do to spend ur time before the internet came along, and do it.

Actually it's impossible to connect to the internet if you don't have any cable or phone even though you have a computer. Using the mobile phone as a modem is very, very difficult. You have to be an expert regarding communications. Although, there is an alternative. You may subscribe for satellite connections, which is very expensive or wireless connections. If you choose wireless connections, be sure that the receiver and transmitter is 10 metres apart. It works much like bluetooth, but this is mass media we're talking about. Better just install a landline. I know it doesn't cost that much.

I think a lot of us need to cut down on computer time, but the internet is an amazing place that lets you go anywhere anytime. I probably spend about 2 hours a day.

Its Cingular Wirless some have better deals some dont.\nAnd some Facts about the Phone\nIt will not make you blow up if you put gas in your gas. \nIt will not give you brain damage\neven though people say this does happen there is not enough to back it up firmly\nAlso with a Cell most are GPS this means Big brother (The goverment ) could find you if they wanted to. Any Gps system Can be found right down to your cell.\nAlso Battery talk time is about 3 to 4Hours Pending on the phone.\nAnd some areas the phone dont work that great.\nBut also alot of people Use there cell and get rid of there home phone. I was spending 120 a month+ on my home Bill I have a construction company. And I switched to the cell and dropped the home phone. I Never have went over my Min- And return Calls after 7. Plus Important calls I dont miss anymore. Alot of People call me and want to talk right there and then. Since I Switched My Company Has made more Money since I didnt lose new customers. \nBut In the end. Home phone and cell phone they both have there ups and downs. \nBut I can say 1 thing for sure. 2 Yrs ago A friend got hurt and We were at a job and I had no other way to call 911 but my cell. In the end I was told By the ER Doc If I would have drove him or waited any longer he would be dead.\nSo Cell Phones Can save your life.\nOh my God I just saw the other answers. \nDONT GET ONE YOU WILL DIE!!!!\nNo you should not use it to have a fight with the wife while drivein your car. DUh \nAnd your boss could call you---- You only give the number out to who you want to have it. \nAs long as you have common sence and im sure you do. You will be ok you will not die. You will not wake up with a tummor the size of Ohio in your head.\nAnd to anyone else who thinks this.\nEvery day we use PC watch Sat-tv listen to the radio. \nPolice use radios/cbs /Wireless net \nIf this happens 24/7 and it affects everyone unless you live in a lead house how much do you think a little cell phone is gonna do.\nAnd the gas pump. Your cell dont have that much juice- If you take your speaker wires off your speaker and touch them together you will get a spark 100 times bigger then your cell. If your car is running there is spark. \nNow I know alot of people have seen the Photo with the car on fire at the gas pump That (WAS) caused ny the cell phone.\nHas anyone ever heard of a computer and a photo program and the word Crop???? I guess what we all see we should all belive NOT
