In your opinion, you believe the internet is that vital to your existence? I can see how many people would think so. I know it would be difficult to ever live without it once you use it in your daily life. I love the capability of answering all my questions almost immediately. It gives me a great tool for self education. It's amazing! On the flip side, I can't say I need it as much as food or water or air. Those are essential to my existence. Without the internet, I would live on. I may not be able to find out how to winterize my house as quickly or keep up with my friends as well as I do on Facebook, but I'd make it. Thanks for your comment!
