freak show Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm probably asking this question in the wrong place, but what the heck?!? I'll ask it anyway... The question is: What are some great things a person can do, which don't require a computer? I can think of many, but I'll only mention the most obvious: playing guitar.

brad1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Watch a sunset or sunrise. Listen to and watch a brooke, stream, or river. Hike a trail, mountain or anywhere outside. Make love to a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57classic Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm kinda kidding but do you really have to ask? Shut the thing down and go outside. Ideas will come to you. Do you have a workshop of some kind? Go to a library, a museum. There is really no reason to be bored for any extended period. Life is what you make of it.

Actually, I got the idea for this topic from Fred's depression-thread. Someone had said Fred should shut off the computer and live life. I agreed with this advice, but another member implied that computers were everywhere today and couldn't be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Read a damn book. Go for a hike. Play some pickup basketball (or other casual sport of your choice.) Learn a new skill which doesn't involve computers. Take a nap. Go to a museum. Go fishing. Go to a restaurant you've never been to before. Do the things that people in this world did before the invention of computers. It's interesting, but I've actually decided that I'm going to bring my laptop home over spring break--and leave it there when I come back to school. There are computers in the library if I need to use one, and there's no shortage of things I can do without my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 All kidding aside, I can see a time when you'll use some sort of computerized application 'stedda stomp boxes for most electric guitar stuff. But that's not necessarily connected to the internet. The Web itself can be intoxicating, and not just for porn for young guys. Seriously, I was doing some hunting for historic stuff the other night at 10 and about dropped my storebought teeth when I really looked up and discovered it was past 1 a.m. I used computers for roughly 20 years before being connected to the web. It's that latter that can be so absorbing, not the computer itself. Heck, you can spend a cupla hours just looking for something different in terms of strings for a guitar, reviews, specs... An acoustic guitar, of course, need not have a computer, but even there it's easier to haul a song list, etc., etc., on a netbook or pad than paper. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
