Would you miss your computer

[Mups]

Most of us have come to rely on our computers nowadays,  and it made me wonder if we'd cope without them now.

I use mine for my Ocado order,  internet banking,  talking to friends, looking up things I want to know,  ordering my dogs prescription drugs,  and probably a lot more besides,  so Yes, I would miss mine dreadfully.

Would you find life a more difficult if your computer conked out,  or wouldn't it bother you much?

They just become part of life. Most things I do that don't involve some sort of physical activity are online (streaming entertainment for instance) and stuff bought to support physical activities are usually chosen online if not bought online for delivery. Most business models these days would be impossible without them.

[muddy]

I don t know how I lived without out it .

[Scrumpy]

I certainly would miss my computer.
I buy .. check information.. bank.. 
 I use my phone  to check bank.. talk to family.. etc;
 It could be very lonely without it..

I wish we'd had mobile phones in my youth.. They would have been brilliant..
Me and my mate Connie would have had a hell of a time..

[Raven]

Yes, for some things. But I do like to take longish breaks from the Internet. Just back from a week down in Perth and never went online once. 

[Alex]

I'd be lost without it.

[Mups]

Glad its not just me then.  

I can't remember exactly when I got my first computer,  but it was around  the year 1999 - 2000 I think.
Makes me wonder how we ever did things before hand.

I had a zx81 when they came out about 30 years ago. Had one - and often two - ever since. Would be lost without it, especially now that I am housebound

It's irrelevant whether or not I'd miss my computer since it's virtually impossible to function without one & even those who don't use a computer are totally reliant on people who do.

Yes, that's very true, Diasi.

That is so true.. My lovely neighbour ,in his nineties, doesn't have a computer..
 He often phones me to ask about dates the bin men are coming...  Especially holiday periods..

 Two of my mates do not have computers...
Shaun.. Irish... has computer but doesn't understand it.. He doesn't even know how to send a text from his mobile.. He relies on his daughter to (organize) stuff..

Also my Italian friend.. She struggles with technology .. I do buy for her... 
So, an Irishman and an Italian.. There's a joke there.. somewhere...
