The entire world has become, in a sense, dependent on computers. Without them, I can't do my job, I can't keep in contact with my friends across the country, I can't research my interests. In short, my life revolves significantly around this rather small piece of technology. It's actually a sad state of affairs when you think about it, for this one device to hold such power over us all.
That said, I don't become particularly irritable when I'm lacking a computer. But since the vast majority of my entertainment at my apartment is reliant on the computer (I use it for TV, books, audiobooks, music, research, news, weather, etc.), I become extremely bored without it. I would have to make a few new purchases and adjustments to remedy the situation if I didn't have a computer long-term.
