Luxury or necessity?

What is your computer? I believe most Pixies would agree that our personal computers have become much more than glorified typewriters. Even if your personal computer isn't used directly in your livelihood, I believe we all apply this tool for many common tasks in our personal business and daily life in today's society. With the developments in electronics in general and this tool specifically, in the last 1/4 century, our pc's have become as much a utility in the current world as the washing machine did in the 1/4 century before that.

So how do you view your computer and the funnel of the internet? Is it something that you feel would hamper your function without it? Is it an edge that gives you opportunities you wouldn't otherwise have or has it become a true necessity to optimally function in today's world?


? or ?
