Could you live without your computer?
I don't think I could! I am a late developer IT wise, didn't know how to switch one on 2 years ago, and I spend far too much valuable time (on CF) and surfing etc., the household/other chores suffer as a result! But I would be lost without one, how about you?
PS: Did a search but could not find any results for this, somebody will surely tell me!

Re: Could you live without your computer?
I bought a laptop this afternoon, so that takes me up to three computers all told. So I guess the answer is no.

So could i, but if you PC developes a fault, and has to be sent off for repair, you dont realise how much you use it untill its not there.

2 desktops, laptop and PDA all running via a wired/ wireless network plus additional PCs on the network when I'm repairing them for others. I can do without them for a little while now and then though

Re: Could you live without your computer?
I could definitely live without it but it would be hard to adjust.... great thing about humans is that we are by far the most adaptive creatures thanks to our brain

Re: Could you live without your computer?
No I don't think so...I'd wait until I could afford a new one but I'd get another.

Re: Could you live without your computer?
at the moment I use my computer for
Internet - forums, news, newsgroups, email, messing about with my web sites, etc.
Watching/listening to various media - CD, DVD, VHS & Cable TV
Downloading pictures from digital camera & saving to DVD
Reading books
The occasional game
.... I know I would miss it terribly

Re: Could you live without your computer?
I use mine for browsing, encoding, downloading, hosting, playing games, number crunching for Cancer Research, playing music, watching films and keeping in touch with people.
I'd miss it terribly, hence the reason i treat it with respect

Re: Could you live without your computer?
I couldn't give up my computer. It is what keeps me connected with family and friends and I need to atleast log in to the forum a few times a day too.
I also use my computer as a sequencer with my music equipment so need it for recording and playing in music.
I could give up my mobile phone, but not my computer.
