- Communication: Without a computer, staying connected with people would rely on traditional methods like phone calls, handwritten letters, or in-person meetings. Emails and instant messaging wouldn’t be available, slowing down communication.
- Work and Productivity: Tasks that are now streamlined through software and online tools would become more labor-intensive. You’d have to manage paperwork manually, and tasks like writing reports or keeping financial records would take much longer.
- Entertainment: No streaming services, online gaming, or social media. Entertainment would likely come from TV, radio, books, or social activities. Gaming would be board games or outdoor activities.
- Research and Learning: Finding information would mean visiting libraries, reading books, or asking experts. The ease of looking things up online would disappear, making learning more time-consuming.
- Shopping: Online shopping wouldn’t exist, so all purchases would require in-person visits to stores, which might limit options and require more effort.
- Navigation: Instead of using maps on your computer or GPS, you’d rely on paper maps or asking for directions.
Life would likely feel slower and require more physical effort in many aspects, but it might also be less distracting without the constant pull of technology.
Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
