What could you not live without?

I thought the same thing. I can watch missed episodes on the computer. Heck, there was a recording error last week on my cable DVR and I was able to watch that episode online. There are e-books and many places that are free. But if I had to...I would buy them on the computer too. I could still play games online. I could still do my photography on the computer. I could keep up with the news. Listen and watch music videos. Even download movies! All of the things I enjoy, rolled into one. :)

For me, I could give up the technology. I'd be happy to sit and read all day long and far into the night. Of course, I can't possibly do that and survive. But I love nothing better than curling up with a good book

I would have to say my books because I have been not looking at TV for 3 weeks now and it doesn't bother me.

I don't watch much tv and I never read books so I really wouldn't miss them too much. I love music but I could deal with not having it. But I know I could not live without my computer.

As an older person, I think I would mostly miss books.

my computer.i have stores online,and i wouldn't have that extra income without it. tv..not a big issue.i barely watch it anymore.mainly the science/history channels.

I would have to keep my computer. It can replace the tv, radio, or books. But, I would still miss my 59" tv.

...I do everything on line including reading books...but if I have to keep just one....maybe I would say books....because books are forever...computers have limited time...I have one book that was published 70 years ago....way before computers time....

Well let's see... This is a really hard question that I'm not sure I'll have an answer for. I love watching the tele for several reasons. I love watching my shows to help me unwind and relax. Not to mention movies... I also have to watch the weather - especially when the weather is bad. Now I could do some of that on the computer but it's just not the same. And I couldn't watch the up to date severe weather alerts. I love reading and gaining knowledge because I think it's very important part of life (learning). It's essential for me. Not all books are online and I actually hate reading online. Aside from emails and things like this. But I couldn't actually sit and read a book online. It would drive me crazy. I prefer reading where I have the book in my hands and can be very comfortable. I can take it anywhere I want (even the bathroom LOL). So I know I could NOT give up books. I admit I don't listen to music as much as I would like to but I still couldn't give music up entirely either. It can pick me up when I need it...and well it's hard to explain what all music does for you. I believe that it too is an essential part of our lives. And as you stated I could listen to music online - but not in my car which is one of my favorite places to listen to it :) Now I guess if I had to give up one it would be computers although I would hate that too. Because that would mean that I would lose touch with most of my family and friends because I'm not much of a letter writer and I hate talking on the phone. Plus I can send emails at anything that is convenient for me. Like in the middle of the night as I work third shift. People never know when to call because of that too.

This is a hard one. I could do okay without the TV. I don't watch it much anymore anyway. I guess I could hum my own music if I had to. It would be unbearable without a computer but I guess I'd have to let that go too if it meant not having books. I couldn't get through a day without books.

I could never live without my books. I am a confirmed book addict, a certified bookworm so I could never do without my daily dosage of books. I read whatever I could get my hands on but mostly I read romance novel. I'm a sucker for happy endings. However when romance starts to go stale, I start reading suspense or even scientific journal just to add variety. My day is never complete if I couldn't read a book. So I'd give up everything except my books if such a scenario would happen. LOL!

I agree with you there, the computer is the most versatile thing invented so far. I am a veritable hermit besides so it is my contact without the outside world. All my friends are here on the puter.

Like you, I would definitely pick the computer. I have a lot of things I am running on the computer, such as doing myLot, managing my email and my own blogs, etc... I can definitely live without the other things, and like you said, I can still get them on the computer anyway! So if I could only live with one of these things it would have to be the computer. I use the computer most anyway, it's just more handy and there's more to do on it. I could never get bored with the computer, but I could easily with books or the TV.

For me i think i could not live without books.I began to love books even when i was still a small girl.Books can bring me into anther world where i can forget all the unhappiness and depressions .In the books i see another picture of life , and learn new idea and new thought.

I will probably give up my television cause I CAN watch DVD's on my computer lol. I'm a music freak and also an internet addict so I don't think I can give those up. I however went a whole week without those things when I went to camp but during those days I wasn't so much of a computer junkie yet.

well the things i cannot live without is, first: food.. second: air..third: my family.. fourth: the clothes i wear Fifth: my pets.. sixth: my friends

m Isee here many people think the way I do, I couldn´t give up the com`puter right now because I am starting my home based business and computer is essencial, besides you can watch videos, hear music stay in touch with people...

i couldn't live without my laptop.really!it has been an important part in my life,taking up the second largest part of a day-the first largest is sleeping.it is computer that accompanies with me when i am along in the room.it is computer that "reads" my complains and "saves"them.it is computer that helps me get in touch with others without going out.it is computer that has become a window for me know what had had happened in the world....i am a introversive guy so most of time i'd like to stay alone in stead of go out with my friends.but i don't feel lonely,because computer can give me what i want and can make me relaxed.so i treat my laptop just like one if my best friends and take good care of her.so i can't imagine of my life without her.

how about without ur parens?? i know im a bad girl, i hurt them sometimes but i love them, withput them what would happen in me? so messy and i will be very bad, worse, the worst maybe1

It would be books, for me. Yes, the computer has a million and one uses and I could probably spend the rest of my days entertaining myself on it. But I love books: I love to read, I love to curl up with one and read myself to sleep, I love the way they feel in my hands and look in my home. I like the formality of a leather-covered hardback book and the casual coziness of a well-worn paperback. While I would miss the dozens of things I can do on the computer, I could still write by hand and use a typewriter. [shudders] But to me, there is nothing like reading a real book. With a cup of coffee and some music in the background. I can't live without those, either. LOL
