How long can you go without your pc when not on vacation (Poll)

madscientist56

I recently realized how hard it is for me to go long periods of time without my pc If I'm not at school or on vacation away from home, does anyone else feel the same?

Without a PC isn't a big deal.

 

Without any access to the internet is much much harder.  After probably a day I get pretty antsy about it.

I love ditching my crap every so often and taking in my area, going out for a camp for a few weeks. I rarely use my phone now, the majority of people that need to get in contact with me, can wait ;)

 

Now that I'm back in Auckland at my flat, I am using my PC more than I think I should, but as soon as I see it's a beautiful sunny day, I'm out for an adventure :)

Two weeks is the longest I've gone, and because I had no choice.

 

If it were up to me, the longest I'd go without is maybe 3-5 days at a time if I needed to.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

I'm not overly attached to my pc so more than 4 months is pretty fine with me

2 days, since I do stuff with friends relatively often and sometimes I'm not home for a while. But when I get back to my computer, good luck pulling me away.

Depends. If I'm trying to get away from my PC for a while I can go a long time. But on my normal day to day basis, it is hard to stay away from it. If I'm not on my PC, I'm on my phone. I always have to check some forums.

Um, I can't remember the last time I wasn't connected to the Internet, except for at school and when I'm sleeping, when I can't use the Internet, of course.

Depends what i'm doing. I'm on the PC most if the time I'm at home and i don't bother with craphones and tablets so if i have something to keep me busy then i'll be fine for however long i need to be. Although there are a lot of people i know and projects that i'm part of on the internet so those would be a main reason that i would want to check up on it. If they weren't there then i wouldn't have a specific reason for rushing back to it other than if i'm totally bored.
