I definitely have to agree with you on this one youless and I too would say my computer is very important to me. It helps me keep in touch with friends, family, it helps me make money which is always nice, and play games to relax too!

I couldn't imagine not having a washing machine, especially with a daughter who always seems to get into something to get dirty lol.

At first I thought of the t.v. but then I thought of air conditioning.So I have a tie.With the summers and sometimes the spring around here you need air conditioning.And with t.v. you can see everything. Movies, news events, sports and things that you could never see in nature.

D'oh. I forgot heat. At my house, the AC is coming out of the same unit that gives me heat in the winter. I guess with all this summer-like weather air conditioning came to mind first.

Hi youless! It really took me awhile before responding to this very simple question which turned out to be very difficult. haha..I have a triple tie between my computer, fridge and electric stove. So, don't let me choose now between the three because I might take days before I could really weigh things out. haha.. Take care and have a nice day!

MY laptop is also my most important electrical appliance. Next is my kettle as it is my main source of drinkable water. I can do a lot of things with it.

For me I think it would be computer too because I use it much more than other electrical appliances at home. Without it, I would be totally lost and I wouldn't be able to finish my stuff and catch up my friends online. Therefore I think it's the most important thing for me.

Mine right now, I would have to say, is my computer as well. it keeps me in touch with my husband who is currently serving in Iraq. I love to sit down at night after my children go to bed and just surf the net or love ebay. Spend way to much money on there though. LOL

I would have to say that it is definitely down to the computer and the television. Although the computer is probably going to win this one out considering that these days you can actually watch television on it. But it is really fun to watch on TV rather than online. On television, you rarely get what you want to watch. You do not get to pick so it gives it a sense of mystery. Surprises you at times the things that you see on TV. I have spent countless times watching weird shows that I would not normally watch on TV. But sometimes, you just get those boring days when you just want to be a couch potato. You just want to sit in front of your television with a bag of your favorite chips and cola and waste the day away with the idiot box.
The computer is my favorite appliance because everything is basically there. I stopped buying newspapers because you can read almost everything online. I have stopped buying books as well because ebooks are all over the place. You can practically buy anything through the internet so sometimes I would stay for days just being online and not showing up to the outside world. You can meet lots of people as well, like here in mylot.

my first preference is computer only ,as it is my favourite item. i can live without Ac,refrigerator,gas stove for cooking,but i can;t live without computer. so it will be in turn on position only ,when i wake up from bed ,till i sleep in night.
my computer is only my life, in this lonely life. and it is like god to me.
and other than computer i like tv more, because we can see live shows,cinemas,and serials daily. it is also full timepass for me in my house,as i will be lonely most of the time.

I would also have to say my computer. I think not only because of the friends and making money with it, but I am a writer by nature and I have a hard time getting my thoughts out with pen and paper. Without my computer I just couldn't get my thoughts down correctly!

I consider electric fan or other cooling electric devices like air con is the most important item in my daily life. The weather here is very hot and I will feel very uneasy to live without any cooling device. I prefer to use fans as it is healthier and more economical to be used.

I used to consider my TV set and DVD player as the most important appliance at home. Since before I got hooked with the internet I always spend my free time watching movies and enjoying my day off. But now its my laptop. Most especially that I am now a member of myLot, I have considered my laptop as my most important appliance. There is never a day that I don't use it.

Well, I don't really consider a computer an appliance, so I would have to say the washing maschine. Basically because it takes so much strength in the hands and wrists to wash clothes by hand, doing so would be dangerous for me as a pianist, since I use those muscles and tendons to practice 5 hours a day. Wringing out clothes by hand would put me at great risk of overuse injuries and tendonitis. I don't actually use a dryer though, because it shrinks my clothes, I hang dry them, and as a single person it's easy to get away without a dishwasher. So I'd say just a washing machine and I'd be fine forever.
