India
November 7, 2008 8:57pm CST
I just came to this city for the job more than a month ago. I didn't bring my pc with me because i was looking for a place to rent. And then when i started the job then i didn't get time to go back to my city and bring my pc. I am using it for more than 8 years. And i used to spend 14-15 hours everyday on my pc. Now i feel very strange that i am not using my pc. I feel like i m missing something in life. What about you people? Can you live without your pc?

Personally, I cannot live without my computer, on the basis I'm a writer and am working on it constantly composing poetry, stage plays and short stories that I submit to online publishers.

No, I can't live without my PC. I am constantly using my computer. I do everything on it. I watch TV, listen to music, make money, study for classes, talk to my family, etc... If my computer breaks down, I feel lost! It's sad really :-)

My PC is already a part of my everyday life. Since I started using it, paying bills was a lot easier. I also play games online to release some stress. I met my wife through the internet and life with her has been great. So basically, I may not be able to live a "normal" life without my computer.

Well I hate to admit it but I can not imagine not having a computer and the ability to connect to the internet. So much of my life is involved with the computer and the internet. I am addicted to computer science....I work in front of one all day and as soon as I get home I get on the internet. I have carpal in both hands but still can not imagine life without a computer.

Its realy hard to live without my computer. But I can lead a happy life without my computer. It is really nice and happy time, when I am nearer to nature leaving technology and computer or mobile or others behind. Problem is how you do think about the necessity. If you think its too important for your life and you can not live without that, then It will definitely create tension and havok in your life. So, It depends on person to person. How they are involved and how they takes it to their life....

Nope, right now I am completely attach to it. In work and at home, computers are at my side. I am a computer technician also, if I am not in work or at home, I am in my customers' computer fixing it. As of today, most people do around the world are using it and probably cannot live without it.

Well, that's a tough one. I make a great deal of my income online. I guess I could get by using the internet on my phone, but it's definately not as easy and there is some very important business information stored on my PC. I guess I would have to say no. The computer has plays such an important role in my everyday life these days that it is a necessity for me.

Till the end of my days, I can't live without my computer. It's been my daily habit to at least surf the net, check the status of my PC and play a game with it. Give me a really, really enchanting book with a very, very long story then maybe I'll stray away from the habit.

No! Although my job has no relation with computer,there is so much information in my pc.Without it,it will be so reouble like losing an old friend. And I think it will take a long time to adapt myself to a new pc, and reconstrust a new datebase.So, when you have time ,bing it back.

I CAN live without my computer. But NO I wouldn't want to. I've gone a few months without having a computer and sometimes just a few weeks and yes it is hard but doable for sure.

I lived without it for 2 months. My laptop had a number of things go wrong with it and one dy just stopped working. It took me two months to find one I could afford. The worst part is listening to comercials that say visit www., and you say I can't. So no, it wasn't fun, but somehow, I survived.

I can't live without my computer. I find it hard to live without it. Before I start using frequently, I was able to live without computer. Now using computer is on of daily activity. All my university need computer to do because I am taking Broadcasting degree. I use computer to edit the video we shoot and create script.
