Would you miss your computer?
I see that many people have their computer on from getting up to going to bed. A lot people also use mobile technology to stay connected to the internet. That a change to people’s lives over a short period of time.
We seem to live with our computer and can’t do without. What would you do if didn’t have a computer for a period of time. I have many things outside of my internet world. I love to walk, love running/jogging, I love photography.
I know I would be lost without my computer but I do have others things that would keep me busy until I had my computer back, what about you?

i would miss my computer, but on the other hand, I could use my phone to do things that I do, like posting in here. I guess I have had a computer so long, that i don't know what it is like not to have it. I use it everyday, to do different things, so I hope I never have to do without.

@kevin1877uk Those that have never had a computer, wouldn't know what it would be like to have one, so we are just the opposite. I have had computers for a very long time, and I would certainly miss mine for sure.

@rosekiss That is true, I say to may kids about not have all they have today and they can't understand not having all of what we have today.

I know that if I did not have the internet or computer, I would be fine.
I have had lots to do through the years with paperwork and others so it would not be hard for me. I would miss it, but it is not the be all and end all.
myLot I would mainly miss.

I do have some other things to keep me busy if my computer would be down. I wouldn't like it but oh well those things happen. I like to sit outside on the front porch while my dogs are out there playing. I am afraid now the weather is becoming to cool for me out there.

@kevin1877uk In all seriousness though, I do all my work on a computer, if its broken or lost, I'd be completely gutted. Tried to write a post card the other day and my hands actually hurt from gripping onto the pen. /weak sauce

Some days I wish my computer wasn't there beckoning as I'm not hot on willpower. However, I do take occasional deliberate computer breaks from time to time. I read and walk mostly, write non-internet writing and heaven forbid, I even do housework and gardening

@kevin1877uk probably because more of my life was spent without it than with it.

My computer is mission-critical for my work and livelihood. I have a desktop, a server to back-up my work and two laptops ready to go if something happens to my desktop. Each hour without a working computer would mean loss of a significant amount of income.

Havens! I would go crazy. I am home with three dogs 33% of the time, and don't have any friends here. So all my interactions, and the friends I have from other places we have lived, I use online to interact with them!

@kevin1877uk course,
because I never experienced with a computer can bring in money as it is now my job is computer services, hardware and software and the installation of a computer network, the computer world can not escape from my life

I need a computer for the work I do, but I could manage a new life without one if I had to. As for breaks, I take vacations without a computer and have no problem adjusting to a life without one.

Most people are the same, although I would still take my laptop with me.

I may miss the computer on the first day. But then I always have a novel to keep me company. I won't mind staying away from my computer for some time, especially when I have a couple novels which I haven't yet read.

That's a tricky question for me, because there's a lot of things I wish I could do, But I don't cause I don't have the necessary means to do it(Sometimes money, time itself etc).
With my current state, I need my computer to do stuff, or I won't have anything to do at all. A day that I can't use it for whatever the reason, is a day I will probably pass sleeping(If it's a free day).
