Computerless

[TasteyPies]

Computerless for 1 week...think i can do it? i will be back in a week to check the poll

[Xander]

I don't know about you, but I probably couldn't, unless I was with Lindsey. If I wasn't away from the computer for him then... oh man what would I do... watch lots of Red Dwarf and read books I guess. xD I could probably last a week but I'd be itching within a couple of weeks.

But yeah, good luck I guess for whatever reason you're doing this.

[Peegee]

I could provided I was out of town and away from houses with computers in them...AND something to do

[frr_vegeta]

I am not familiar with this term "computerless" it makes no sense to me. There is no way you mean to "not" have a computer, correct?

[ZeZipster]

No, I'd suffocate.

[m4tt]

I doubt I could, since I have to work on a computer.

And we'll never know if you could either. For all we know you could be here right, just logged out.

Come now, Matt. Give the poor kid the benefit of a doubt.

Regardless, I know I could - but wouldn't want to. I was off the computer for a year, for the most part, but now it's part of my daily ritual. This thing is always on, always connected, and it's the main source for messages, communication, music. I don't know how people in general ever existed without a computer. It seems weak, to me, when they complain about them. Computers have changed our lives, for the better. (Only weak-minded people, I think, can say that it's bad for us. I know I don't sit on my ass on the computer all the time, and if I did, I could stop.)

My daily routine requires a computer, but when on holiday I go without a computer for much longer than that. Plus people have live for centuries without computers. I'm sure I could manage.

[Strider]

I doubt it.

[Agent Proto]

I could last a week without a computer, that is if I had no access to one.

[Leeza]

If I don't have access to a computer I could go without one for a very long time and I have, but if it's right here in front of me...no.

I don't know about you though because you haven't been here all that long for me to know you very well.

[Kirobaito]

I couldn't, so you couldn't.

[Mr. Graves]

I can, I just don't.

You can, but you probably won't. It's all up to sheer willpower, bud. You can if ya try, hopefully.

[Meat Puppet]

Ditto to Mr. Graves.

[Peegee]

Even when I was volunteering like 600-800 KM out of town in the Northern Ontario area they had the internet in a 56k connection. I checked my email once a day I think.

So that's why I said that it is a requirement that no computers be nearby.
