A week.
Then I'd get pissed off.
I would still get used to it after
enough withdrawal and could spend
the rest of my life like that.

I was bored.
Very bored.

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.

If I don't have classes, then maybe a week or two. I can find other stuff to do.
If I have classes, then only a couple of days at most since many of my teachers have decided to post a crapload of things like assignments, lecture notes, etc. online. And not to mention that no one accepts hand written papers anymore.

No computer? No problem. I'll just fill my excess time with any one of my many other vices. Hell, without computers I may even start exercising again. 🤣

I choose a week or two, I use it to pay my bills. If I stopped using it for my bills I could most likely manage forever. (I use it over 4h all days of the week.)
The only technology I couldn't manage without would be heat and light. There aren't that many sun hours up north during the winter. :/

Just a few days for me. I have friends spread out all over the world, and I can't afford to call them (International plans are a bitch). Plus, I give jobs my email address, so I have to check to see if they ever contact me.

The longest I've gone is a week. I think I could do two or so, though.

What about a toilet? I could live without electricity, but I don't think I'll ever be able to live comfortably without a toilet.

because me and my computer live 50k/30m apart from each other we can meet only during weekends and holidays
been like this for nearly two years and I can manage
it's a good excuse to the teachers that I didn't know or couldn't do something because I don't have a computer 😀

About a month maybe? But I'd rather not be computer-deprived too often.

I can go a couple of days to a week. I've done longer, though most of it has to do with habit, I get really annoyed if I can't check my email.
I mean, if I had to, I think I could give up technology, I'd just have to find someone else to do with my spare time.

A few days.
But then, I was busy and had no right to go on the computer. After everything was finished, no one could get me off the computer. I can't live without it! 🤣
Well here's the thing, if I know I'm not near a computer, and I have no means of using one, I can last a long time. Like when I'm on holiday. I won't bother to go to an Internet cafe or anything.
If I know it's there however, I can't last more than a day.
I'd like to add that it's not the computer I'm addicted to, it's the Internet. If all the computers in my house didn't have the Internet, I can last a very long time without using them.
My computer broke yesterday as it happens, and if there weren't other PCs in the house and if I didn't have this iTouch connected to the Internet, I think I would be dying xD
