[Survey]How dependant on Technology are you?


OK, so I was supposed to do this survey for my technology class, so I figured, how better than to actually USE technology to do it? Plus, I needed to get a wide range of people, and PSU is pretty diverse when it comes to opinions

If you could answer it, it would be really helpful .

1. Do you own a cell phone?
2. Do you feel you really need one? Why or why not?
3. Do you own or use a computer?
4. If yes, could you do without one? Why or why not?
5. Do you play video games? Why?
6. If so, how many hours a week?
7. What technology do you depend on, other than a cell phone and a computer? Why do you depend on these items?

I realize number 5 is a little redundant here on these boards, but bare with me .

Once again, I appreciate any serious responses.

4. If yes, could you do without one? Why or why not? No, all my porn is on it
5. Do you play video games? Why? Yes, for stress relief and fun
6. If so, how many hours a week? Too many
7. What technology do you depend on, other than a cell phone and a computer? Why do you depend on these items? Does alcohol count as technology?

1. Do you own a cell phone?
Yes. But its deactivated currently.

2. Do you feel you really need one? Why or why not?
No. People can leave me messages at home and I can get back to them. I got sick of getting calls while I was in the middle of something, and paying for the service. If someone wants to talk to me, they call the answering machine and I'll call them back when I'm not busy.

3. Do you own or use a computer?
Duh.

4. If yes, could you do without one? Why or why not?
Nope. I'm a tech nerd. I need my computer or I'd cry.

5. Do you play video games? Why?
PlanetSide, Rome:Total War, and a few other games occasionally. I enjoy gaming because it helps me relax, and generally is an enjoyable thing to do when I have nothing else to do.

6. If so, how many hours a week?
Eh, prolly at least 25 hours a week.

7. What technology do you depend on, other than a cell phone and a computer? Why do you depend on these items?
Television. Source of entertainment and news. Printer/Scanner, means of entering/withdrawing data from my computer.

1. Yes. parents got it for me for emergencies / driving stuff
2. Kinda. Nice to have in an emergency, but thats the only time i ever use it. Ive used 3 minutes this month, and all 3 was corrosion calling his mom.
3. Hell Yes.
4. Hell No. I'd shrivel up and die. ...quickly. Forums keep me in touch with most of my friends. Get joy from reading funny stuff on the web. Easier to type to people than to call them IMHO. I hate the phone.
5. Yes. Stress releif, allows me to do stuff id never do in real life. Just plain fun.
6. Hard one. varies week to week, but id guesitmate about 20+ hours a week.
7. iRiver (mp3 player) allows me to listen to music nearly anywhere. Entertains me when im bored.
[Future]
PSP - allows me to view videos and play games.
Sidekick - Technicly a cell, but with internet / AIM capabilities. Allows me to stay in touch no matter where I am. Can browse forums in class even

No, I haven't had it activated for 6 monthes now.

3. Do you own or use a computer?
This one is pretty obvious.

4. If yes, could you do without one? Why or why not?
I could do without it, but since I am engineering my education/career to them, I have to say I can't live without them.

5. Do you play video games? Why?
Yes, because I like the variety of people you run into.

6. If so, how many hours a week?
Zero atm, my gaming machine is on life support atm.

7. What technology do you depend on, other than a cell phone and a computer? Why do you depend on these items?
My T-Bird, I depend on it because it depends on me. You could say it is a symbiotic relationship. (Basically the damn thing won't run unless I'm driving it)

1. No
2. Not at all
3. Yes
4. Yes, I use a computer constantly, but I don't depend on it. When I don't have one I'm fine.
5. Yes, because they are fun.
6. While unemployed I have a lot of time, 20 hour days, so lot's of hours.
7. I don't depend on a cellphone or a computer. The technology I do depend on is the simple things, the city's laws, the structure keeping my body nice and cozy, the vehicle in wich I seldom use.

1. Yes
2. Yes, I can people and messege them on it like everyday, no fail, and I use it for messaging mostly I usually send at least a text an hour.
3. Yes
4. No, I use this computer for my college work, it is essential with all its programs I need to use such as Photoshop and more basic stuff such as Word, I also use it as a source of entertainment such as browsing the internet or playing online games which keep me occupied, it is also a huge source of information.
5. Yes, I am a very socialy active person but I still lvoe being able to come home, relax by myself or with a few friends and enjoy entertainment in a game without having to do much besides pressing a few button/keys.
6. Hmm I don't know exactly but lots...I say at least 20
7. Washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, etc, any household items like that are vital, I could clean my clothes and wash my dishes by hand but that takes time and is old fashioned, we live in a world that is constantlyu in a hurry, things need to be done fast.
