During holidays I usually go to places without access to the Internet or even a computer for two weeks I'm fine, especially if I have something interesting to do. But when it's more than three weeks or a month I start feeling uneasy.

I could go probably the rest of my life, but I chose years anyways. I could always get caught up in something in the physical world and not need computers for entertainment, but eventually it boils down to using the internet as an information source. And, I just remembered remembered, also ordering stuff online. Cyber bargains~

I check for manga updates twice a day, and play dota in the evening, not to mention I have a whole set of ebooks on my computer. I guess I can't last without my computer for even a day

I could last a few months, but I'd only do it if I HAD to. I'd probably be borderline [insert random mental disease] after that amount of time though. I would have terrible boredom withdrawal symptoms, too...I might even resort to reading the dictionary, or an encyclopedia. Any longer than that and I might just die. Or maybe I'd eat the boredom away and get really fat... hmm

I'm noticing I can't even go without my laptop for half an hour I get off, then come back again in 15 minutes...drives my mom crazy xD though I suppose on vacation, I'd only use it for checking email once or twice a day. If I'm not able to use it, I start shouting at my brothers and sister

Normally, I'd say a few days, but I've gone three months without using a computer. Luckily, I was very, very busy (traveling the worrrrld. kinda.) because I probably would have killed myself out of boredom otherwise.

I voted "A few days", but now that I think about it, that would only be the case if I were to be doing something like camping or going on a road trip...which would be close to never.
I'm on the computer >14 hours each and every day. My work requires me to be on it most of the time (these days most of the job is done digitally) so I barely leave it.
I could probably live without it for a few days...but it'll be like cold turkey.

Not long probably a few days. I go on the computer pretty much EVERY day with few exceptions. The longest i've lasted was 5 days at a school camp. I started getting withdrawal symptoms about halfway through T-T

I chose "a week or two". because sometimes I feel like I spend to much time on it that I need to get away from it, to take a break. Sometimes I can't do that, 'cause all my work is on the computer.

I guarantee I can last a day without a computer but my limit has got to be a few days; you need a computer for school
My limit for a phone might be a month but...even just one day without ANY technology ? *goes insane*
