              1 week while on holiday in Islay Scotland doing a Whisky tour (9 distilleries on a small island). Thought I would miss it but after a couple of drams I thoroughly forgot it existed...well enough to at least enjoy the holiday anyway.

                I think the longest was a week. At the time I was getting about 50 emails a day. My husband is addicted to the internet. When we flew to Puerto Rico (6 hours) the first thing he did was hook up the computer. I unpacked.

                      Phil HardingWhats your longest period without the internet,

                      recently, a week. Over the years, I have gone without for multiple weeks to a full month. Enjoy the internet while you have it, you never know when you will be shipped to a dark site. :)

                        About 40 years. I enjoyed a lot of that. Then someone invented the internet ... I'm still not sure who it was :)

                                One month. I moved, hooked up the home network, but didn't use it for a month. It wasn't a priority, and it made me realize that I wasn't dependent on the internet at all. But, after a month, I started getting back on the computer/internet, and I was in the same boat as I was before the move.
