I was thinking of trying this to see if I could make it. Ever since I got my own laptop I'm on it like five to seven hours daily. You can use it for homework, but only if it is required to be typed.

Does anyone want to try it with me??

It's possible, but I probably couldn't.

Actually...I did a couple times when camping, but I was pretty occupied.

It's hard but I could probably do it considering back in september I had to live without a computer for a few months because my computer just died one day.

Of course, I have plenty of other things to do than going on the computer.

No computer period or no computer in your free time? Because I actually need my computer for 85% of my classes in school, but I could easily do no computer in my free time. That's what I have Xbox Live for.

I've done it before, as recently as a few weeks ago when my computer went dead and I had to build a new one. I had internet access in the form of my dad's laptop, but I didn't use it.

But isnt the Xbox a computer too? How could you discriminate against one computer over another? That's computerism, and it's directly analogous to racism, sexism, and other social inequities. Could you live a week without ANY computer for anything other school work? No! Haha, think of it. A frightening dystopia.

Then you get the slack-eyed poor people who don't own computers staring at you, and the old gerries harping on about the time limit; yet worse, you can't do anything on their computers (and oftentimes horrible local networks). It was JUST gay erotica. No photography or film, honest!

lol thats it? C'mon think of something harder than that. I'm away from my computer for a week easily everytime I go on vacation. I have a laptop, but I would rather do other things than sit at my laptop when I'm on vacation. Plus the seagulls always steal it.

It would be hard for me. I don't play videogames (on consoles, but I am on PC) for up to months at a time... The PS2 really doesn't have any good new games.

I do like to play the occasional PC game and browse the internet every day, but I guess I'd survive. I still remember the times when I had no PC at all... I've only had my own PC (a working PC) since about a year and a half ago. *shiver* Hard to be without a PC. :)

I made it 10 days on a snow skiing trip last year. Took me 2-3 weeks to catch up on what I missed.

I could do it if I had to, like if Apple had to replace my notebook and had to be shipped away... Now voluntarily, no. I wouldn't want to try, that's just dumb to me... I don't want to go a week without it, I bought it so I can have it 24/7/365. Not 24/7/358.

To put it shortly, I could, but I won't unless I'm forced to.

I've gone months without a computer, only used it for researche and typing papers, and sometimes e-mail. Just for school, so, I guess I've already done it...

NOW WHY WOULD I DO THAT AGAIN?!?!

Yeah sure, the only sites I really check out regularly are Gamespot for its forums (like I'm doing right now), searching for things to buy on Ebay and Amazon, and occasionally Ign, Wikipedia, and Youtube. That's about it. So I guess just picking up some books from the bookshelf a few feet away from me could serve as my Wikipedia replacement, my Wii and Xbox could replace my forum needs, while the Discovery Channel and History Channel alone could easily keep me alive.

When my mother accused me years ago of being addicted to computers I decided to show that I'm not by not touching one for a week. It wasn't very difficult. I did the same with Coca-Cola.
