I think I don't need a computer at all.

Lately I've found that all i do online is
1. post on one or two forums, such as this one
2. check the weather and other info
3. facebook
4. cafe world on facebook
5. check my email
6. view webcomics on an rss feed

#4 I cannot do on my BB storm, and I thought I couldn't do #6, but now I have installed viigo and found I CAN.
So now I figure that for the amount of time and hassle I could just use my BB, and occasionally use a full desktop OS when needed. and since Bell now allows tethering on smartphone data plans, I don't need another internet line.

I hear where you are coming from. Over the years, I have seen my need for PC power dwindle as well. I've moved from gaming on PC's to just using consoles because it's easier. I do quite a bit of forum sites and facebook stuff as well. The most taxing thing that I regularly do is rip movies from Netflix to my computer, and then put them on a rewriteable DVD, watch them and then erase back over the discs.

At the moment I really don't own a computer (being 17), but I figure all I need is my phone, My Wii (maybe a PS3), and a mini powerhouse for stuff I can't do on my phone (like dvd ripping/converting, Café World, and stuff I can't think of at the moment)

I beg to differ there, I need one for keeping account of the income and expenditure but for the main part being able to order my groceries for delivery plus other purchases.
Oh yes and getting some bills cheaper for having online billing instead of paper bills, that's a big plus these days.

During a period last year where I had a computer, but didn't actually 'need' one, I thought going without it would be hard, but do-able. Then the thing broke. I was without my computer for two days and realised how much I actually rely on it. I would be sitting there saying "I'll just check my em... oh I can't. I'll watch... oh I can't. I'll play... oh I can't. I'll chat to... oh I can't".

I was shocked how much I actually used the computer for even though I didn't actually need to. Now? Well, now I'm doing a degree in web design so I think I can safely say it would be harder to do without my little machine-y. :D Good thing or bad thing? Just inevitability Mr Anderson.

Excuse me but in this household it's a matter of survival certainly not business or earning a dollar, or £ as the case may be.

I have never considered a computer a matter of "need", and unless a person is using one for business, few people really need one. It is a matter of want, not need.

I beg to differ there, I need one for keeping account of the income and expenditure but for the main part being able to order my groceries for delivery plus other purchases.
Oh yes and getting some bills cheaper for having online billing instead of paper bills, that's a big plus these days.

To quote the iPhone commercials:
There's an app for that.

But I don't own an iPhone or have any need for one or the money to buy one.:p

Excuse me but in this household it's a matter of survival certainly not business or earning a dollar, or £ as the case may be.

I agree. I don't subscribe to a newspaper, for example. The internet is my news source - and my way to keep of with and communicate with my grandchildren who are all at least two days from us.
