When thinking about a piece of technology that I could live without, many things came to mind. First I thought about tv, but then realized that I depend on it for news and most entertainment. Then, my cell phone came to mind but I quickly nixed that idea because I rely on it for communication. Finally I came to my computer, and thought maybe I could live without it.
I mainly use a computer for school work and surfing the web, but without one I could always find alternative ways of accomplishing those tasks. I could always use my phone if I ever needed anything to do with the web and I could always hand write papers if there were no computers around. Computers, to me, have always been more of a luxury than a necessity.
I understand that some Americans would not be able to last one day without a computer. A lot of businesses and professionals could not do their job without one. I guess since I'm still young I could live my life freely without the aid of my laptop. I still have my books and notebooks, which is all I really need to function as an everyday student.
Without a cell phone, I would have a hard time functioning because it is such an integral part of today's society. It always allows me to be in contact with my family and friends. It could even save my life one day if I am put in a bad situation. On the other hand, the home computer to me is just a luxury and if I really had to, I could live my life without it.

I got to give you props for chosing the computer to live without. I'm one of those individuals you mentioned as not being able to survive one day without one. I'm glad to see you could.
