Computers used in a 24 hour period

A life without computers

Well, this is sort of an impossible question. As i have lived my entire life with computers, i cannot know what life would be like without them. In all truth, whatever i imagine my life to be without computers, i am sure the change is not radical enough as i don't know where to begin. However, My answer on my prelab was that, i with a great mass of people, would be returning to land to farm or perhaps still working in toward becomeing a lawyer in a legal system which would be in a state of total chaos with the loss of all criminial records. Comunnicating with my family would no longer be quite so easy, as now we would have to go back to the writing of letters to be delivered with the now over burdened postal service (who no longer can depend on computers for sorting). I would of course have to kill myself when there is no longer any air conditioning during the summer, so i guess my life would be seriously shortened by the loss of computers.
