[Survey]How dependant on Technology are you?

[Triggar]

1. Do you own a cell phone?

- Yes.

2. Do you feel you really need one? Why or why not?

- Yes, we don't have a landline at my apartment. My cellphone is the only way for people to get a hold of me.

3. Do you own or use a computer?

- Don't personally own one (it's Martyr's), but I use it.

4. If yes, could you do without one? Why or why not?

- Could not do without one. It's called "addiction". I also get all my business correspondence from the UN through email.

5. Do you play video games? Why?

- Yes, because sometimes you just don't want to watch TV or whore the internet.

6. If so, how many hours a week?

- 5 to 10, on a good week

7. What technology do you depend on, other than a cell phone and a computer? Why do you depend on these items?

- Refridgerator. Because otherwise I'd have to live off canned foods, and after doing so for a week after Hurricane Charley, it isn't anything I look forward to doing ever again. Also, mp3 player, because sometimes you just need a little music in your life.

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

1. Do you own a cell phone?
Yes.
2. Do you feel you really need one? Why or why not?
Need? No, but it's more practical and convenient than a land line.
3. Do you own or use a computer?
Yes.
4. If yes, could you do without one? Why or why not?
If I had to, yes. Given a choice it would not be one I would make however. It performs far too well as both a tool and a form of entertainment.
5. Do you play video games? Why?
Yes, for a lot of reasons. They make a good temporary distraction from reality much like a good book. It's a good thing to do with friends. They're portable and for the price you pay you often times get more hours of enjoyment out of a game than you do from say going to the movies or going out to drink at the bars (definately beats going out to the bars in hours of enjoyment to money spent ratio).
6. If so, how many hours a week?
Depends on the week. Some weeks I might put in as much as 40-50 hours into gaming. Other weeks (most weeks lately it seems like) I might only get in a couple of hours when I have the time to spare.
7. What technology do you depend on, other than a cell phone and a computer? Why do you depend on these items?
Well, this is a really broad question. My car, the heating registers in my apt, electricity, running water, well the list goes on. I assume you mean technology as in electronics or something related to computers when you speak of technology. In that case though there really isn't much more. No iPod or PDA or any of that here.

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

Once again, I appreciate any serious responses.

There ya go, hope it helps.

1. Yes

3. Yes
4. Yes, I'd just get outdoors more...and I love the outdoors.
5. Yes, thier addicting...particularly after a bad day at work.
6. Probally average somewhere between 4-6...I used to read you know.
7. None, other than your usual appliances and stuff. But I (as does my wife) prefer cooking on an open fire. Plus we love to hike places where cars, bikes, etc cant get to.
