could you get by without the Internet in your job?

[branddaly]

No internet would be a nightmare. I'd get tonnes of phone calls and lots of people trying to yell at me. But I'm a core network engineer at an ISP, no internet is not an option.

 

[Mat]

It would be a major pain in the butt, but not a complete disaster...

 

[West]

Not at the moment no, we don't use any internet in the control room, although I think we're having a HTML based CAD system soon.. so possibly not

 

[Sonea Fifer]

The internet IS my job

Well escalated broadband technical issues to be more precise - without tinternet I'd probably have to get a real job somewhere

 

[Dark_Angel]

Web dev / graphic designer / server managment...

So probably wouldn't go to well without the internet for me

 

[Zogger]

The internet IS my job

you are the internet? Don't go.

Am a developer so I use the internet as a resource for working out how to do stuff, but not essential. The intranet however could cause problems.

 

[gillywibble]

ooo get you

how did you get into that?? i assume thats pretty interesting?

I could tell you, but i'd have to kill you

Seriously, it's probably more mundane than it sounds, investigating people mainly for the purposes of civil litigation, with some criminal prosecutions thrown in on larger fraud investigations.

Hows it going on here? Scarce?

Still searching

I don't have internet so yes.

However if mobile phones stopped working I would be screwed. Trying to contact people hundreds of miles away from the middle of no where can be fun even with mobile phones. Due to dead spots.

Would mean that we would have to resort to hard copy manuals instead of Google and looking at vendor websites and forums .... would slow us down but we are trained in what we do so we would cope.

We have to with our really reliable internet access here ...

Depends on my current project as I work for an educational portal, if I'm making resources I could get by without the net but if I'm setting up new sites or doing any maintenance then no. If all sites but work related ones died I'd either get lots of work done or none because I'd have died of bordem, not sure which though!

 

[rjk]

it tech so not all the time - just when im really stuck - or when im skiving

 

[uber soldat]

Yes it would make my job a lot easier totally getting rid of the "My interweb has crashed" calls

 

[stumpy187]

Yeh, but i'd be bored out of my mind. Basically everything with the words forum, games, video

 

[cymatty]

Work in a bank so no.

 

[Le_Petit_Lapin]

No, wouldn't work.

Stock image galleries online just save so so much time.

 

[Adz]

We're a webhosting company so it would be somewhat difficult, yes .

 

[nft_99]

online retailer so we would struggle

 

[skiba]

If we lost the internet it would be a big problem, if we lost Radianz, it would be a very big problem.

 

[Stolly]

I've got two internet connections, and the place i work at hosts a few well known web properties.

Yet, if it went off for a day i'd be OK because the projects i am doing right now don't need a live connection.

 

[knip]

Sadly no, I can still take care of the disabled child I look after without the internet.
How I would cope without my fix on my phone when I get a spare minute is another issue
