I don't think I could, especially working in technical support as manor times Googling an error message has been the saviour ha! - Joe Dawson
I know most of my online life is in the hands of Google: GMail, Google Apps, etc. - Michael A Hall
Probably could but what's the point ;-) - Haim Schlesinger
Hmmm i use Google email, reader, docs, Search, Picasa, so no it would be a pain migrating all my stuff to diffrent services. - John Spencer

@Haim: Very well put. I only really use Gmail, Docs and Search nowadays. Gmail's backed up, most of the important Docs are also on my compy and I can always use somewhere else for search. Now, if only I could figure out exactly where that "somewhere else" is... - Cyvros/fyc
I could live, but I wouldn't be happy. I think the contribution of Google is that of the car and telephone. - Vince DeGeorge
google services just like any other technologies are for more convenience or improving the economic & life. Not having it could just make the life harder then :) - Nikpay
I could live without google as long as I have friendfeed. I find anything I need here anyways :) - Kyle Weller
Of course, as this conversation continues, Google has been very slow for me this morning... and is definitely impacting my day. - Vince DeGeorge
Yes. It's not critical to anything I do. - Thomas Lopez Jr
At this point in time? No. - Rodrigo Jaroszewski
if i go offline for a week on my vacation, then yes i can, it's not so hard. but if i got my laptop and i was able to connect to the internet, then it would be little hard to do, but possible. now we have many other way to connect people or get information without searching. - "31o5"
No. Mail, documents, reader, and various other things are wrapped up in what I do and future plans. - Lisa Thompson

No. Not at the moment no. Internet are to valuable right now. - Svartling
Oh yeah, definitely. I really only use the Google search engine, and have recently been running my searches through Mahalo. Even the stuff I search for is fairly obvious; PHP functions, little tutorials, etc. And Google's magic ability to go straight to the best result has fizzled in the past few years, so they're not massively better than the other search engines now. - Brent Newhall
No, and to be honest search engines that are aimed at being 'semantic' like Mahalo really miss the point: convenient and effortless search. If Google, went away my internet use would decrease 99.9 percent. The remaining .1 would be askjolene.com - Jon Gosier
Not me. From my blog to my RSS reader, I'm all Google all the time. - Mike Lewis

Maybe it's just me, but I dislike being that dependent on a specific piece of tech to get all information. Domain-specific search--like pulling a cookbook off a shelf--returns better results than a one-size-fits-all solution like Google. Especially in the modern days of SEO, where most of my Google results link to linkfarms. - Brent Newhall
Easily, at this point for what I search for I can't tell a difference between google and live. - Chris Patterson

without google how would I spell anything correctly? - Anthony Farrior
can we live without oxygen? for about three minutes, so yeah, temporarily - Julian Baldwin
I tried it for a week while my ISP was having troubles. It was nearly impossible for me to get any work done. - Diane Ensey
I probably could...but Google Search is such a habit. Breaking it would be tough. - Chris Rossini
Without Google, I would probably become a constant Yahoo user. Wouldn't be too difficult to switch. - possible248
