Why you have bought your computer. Yes simple answer. But what was the reason you bought your computer. You know that you need a washing machine to wash clothes. But why computer. You were not addicted as today when you did not have internet so why you bought your computer.

It was a necessity for me. My work at my full time job needs me to do a lot of online market research, and preparation of reports on the research. I often have to do it over the weekends too to meet the time-line. So, I couldn't do that without a computer, and of course a good printer too. So, I had to buy a comuter, a good computer.

I owned computers long before I ever got on the internet. They're a tool just like any tool. Internet addiction is something completely separate, and not everyone who's on the internet is addicted to it. I have a lot of uses for my computer. Some of them depend on having the internet, but not all of them. If there were no internet at all, I'd still be using my computer.

I bought my computer because of school and work, it has nothing to do with addiction... I am a graphic designer and flash programmer so my job wouldn't exist without computers. I love my macbook pro too, it's exactly what I need.

I bought my computer for both work and personal reason. I am a software developer, I'd definitely need a computer to do my work and also find resources online. I like to go online and search for any information and also online job opportunities, I also like to play games online, or social networking sites. I also go online to chat with friends, and that's how I stay connected with most of my friends. Without Internet, computer might not seem so interesting, but I still need it to do my programming work.

The computer that I've got today was bought because of the fact that I was already addicted to the internet. The first computer that I did have, however, was bought because we were learning computer in elementary school and I really wanted one of my own at home. That was a long time ago and the first computer that I had was a 286 that didn't even run on windows. It didn't have enough ram to run windows 3.1 back in the early '90s.

i bought computer for two reasons. The first one is my brother is in college and he rents computer outside our home to make projects and research and it's not safe. So i buy computer so he could finish his projects anytime in the safety of our home. second is that i'm far away from my boyfriend and i want to have constant communication with him through messenger.

well it has nothing to do with addiction, i bought it because i had work in it. I am a programmer and soon divert my attention to networking. So my work will be purely computer oriented and would like to know more abut it

I have a computer and bought it because I need it to do homework for school (I'm in college) It is more convenient to have my own computer then going to the library to do homework, research. Also it is a means of communicating with family, friends and classwork. Now a days, everyone has a computer anyway.

Simply... because I need it. For me it's a "need" not a "want".. I need it for communicating with my family back home. Computer is all in 1.. You can listen to music, you can watch movies, you can edit pictures, you can type, you can do everthing... you can earn ...It can be your friend as well, always with you all the time ;)

I got my first computer when I was in highschool and it quickly became a necessary thing afterwards. Before I used it for schoolwork and the later on for graphics making. I also use it for playing games, watching movies, connecting with friends, research and lots more. That's why I upgrade my pc time to time because I can do so much with it.
