Do you consider the Internet a necessity?

[LuLuO]

If you had to cut the budget-would it be the last thing to go?

We have to be connected-that is how DH communicates, and works for his company.
But also use for banking, booking airline, vacations research, trips etc
I can not imagine not having it.


After I texted SIL to check out her Daughter-in -law's video on Facebook of her grandson -My SIL-mid 50's= texted me that she didnt have internet-couldnt afford it. I was floored that her finances were that tight.

DH often has to work from home and needs the Internet to do that so it would never get cut under any circumstances.

ETA: He is also in the Navy and though it is not written that it is required to have an Internet connection from home, it is required if you know what I mean.

For me it's required for my job as I work from home full time, but my company also pays for it. If it wasn't for that, no it technically would not be a necessity.

I would look at it this way -- the internet is as much of a necessity, today as the telephone became one after WWII.

Since the internet gets me jobs and is used for my work I need a basic connections and email. Anything more is a luxury.

Would your sons die if they did not have the internet? Would their health be seriously impared if they could not hook up?

They would just have to find their hook up's the old way....

Absolute necessity. Do all my work online from home to multiple virtual locations. All of my CEU's done online, webinars etc.
