Things you couldn't live without.

It's difficult to figure out what you couldn't live without until you actually have to live without it, as we take so much stuff for granted.

If we take running water, food, heating, shelter, and power as a given, I'd say there's nothing I couldn't live without.

I've been trying to think of something for a while that I really couldn't live without, but I just can't come up with anything.

I've lived for weeks without hot water (in winter, no less), been places where electricity would go out randomly for days at a time, lived more than 4 months without access to the Internet, gone a full month without a cell phone, and I've never really accumulated any beloved possessions/appliances/tools. None of these were fun, but it certainly wasn't the end of my world and in each of these situations I found other ways of getting enjoyment out of life.

I guess I'd have to go with my cell phone. Not even counting apps/internet access/camera, I have just become too accustomed to having instant communication with anyone, anywhere. It felt really weird to not have a cell phone for the month I did it...I found myself often reaching for my phone to send a text or call someone before realizing that I couldn't do that.

Cable Internet - self-explanatory. I remember playing Command and Conquer Red Alertover tcp/ip and it sucked ass. I remember getting Roadrunner internet and turning on Diablo 2 and feeling so amazed. I can't believe some people still need to use dial-up.

I've been out of the IT field for a few years, but what the fuck? What protocol is your cable company using?

He means dialup, he is just bad at internet

Random Internet. When I was younger I figured my books and movies would be enough for all my entertainment needs. But as you read more and watch more things start to become the same. Randomness has the good and the bad so you never get bored.

Sobe citrus drinks. Dunno why but they are the greatest things since sliced bread to me.
