considering I make my living fixing them...no...

If there were no PCs, I'd still be in my last job (in the 80s) of Security Guard...

Virtual life topic

Certain global technologies are indispensable;What would we be without television, radio, blueray, sliced bread. Life would be a lot simpler, slower, and there would of course be no WP.

I am trying to find that hug video. No I do not ned a hug. It is a long story. :roll:

no, I couldn't live without my computers, especially since the desktop now has a new widescreen monitor (WP looks cool in widescreen), I'd go mad within hours

I suppose so... but man would everything be complicated. I use my computer for school stuff as much as I use it to just relax... I would be doomed in school without a computer.

No, never. I need my machines to study. I'm addicted to them.

No, I couldn't. Without my computer, I would be driven to insanity due to boredom. Sad thing is, I don't think I'm kidding about that either...

I could live, but I would feel for a long time as if I'd lost part of my mind.

I think my computer is going to be taken from me any time soon.

Yes, but school would be a bit more difficult. Library research is tougher to narrow than internet research, and a typewriter is a bit more unforgiving than a word processor.

Other than school and the occasional surf, I don't use computers too often. I hate computers, but they're one of the necessary evils of the present era.

I suppose I could live without my computer, but the first 72 hours after removal would be ugly. I went crazy the week my laptop went into the shop. It goes wherever I go, as well as my digital recorder and two cameras. I used to have one of those old-timey typewriters that came in a case & all you needed to run it was a ribbon (which they probably don't make anymore). If a solar flare came or an electromagnetic pulse took out all the electronics, I could survive if I had a typewriter.

(I hadn't used a typewriter in years, but then I used one at work the other day and when I got a typo, I spent about a minute looking for the 'delete' key).

I could, but how else would I spend my days when I have nothing else going on. I can only clean so much before people start to suspect I may have developed OCD due to sheer boredom.

If you would have asked me 2 years ago, I would have said yes, but now I would scramble to purchase another one, if mine died.
