For some people it can be possible but for others no it can't. I mean there are other thing around to keep you occupied right like TV, Games or even friends and fmaily.
My family was the same way while I was in highschool, they thought I was being anti-social and didn't believe me when I said I was talking to my friends on instant messenger. Or they wouldn't believe me when I was studying for school or doing something productive that would help me in the future.. I'm a CS major.
Of course, when I enrolled in college as a CS major and received scholarships and such, they don't see to mind anymore.  Edit: Oh and I say I spend like 4 hours a day on the computer, but if I have an assignment I may spend 8+ hours on the computer.
I don't spend that much time online. And to answer your original question: It is possible to live without computer. It just takes aLOT of self discipline and self control and self.... everything else. It would be very difficult.
On the average weekday I spend roughly 2 hours sat at a computer. About an hour and a half of that (half an hour at school, an hour at home) is spent doing school work. The remaining half an hour is devoted to my website, reading news, emails and currently a PHP project I have undertaken with a friend. At weekends I might spend 3 or 4 hours on the PC, but only if its not particularly nice outside.
QUOTE they thought I was being anti-social and didn't believe me when I said I was talking to my friends on instant messenger Its weird how most adults see instant message programs and forums as anti-social and not ways of communicating with eachother. I simply remind my parents that they spent their evenings on CB radios, and its the same sort of thing 
Same probleme here !!!
They always blame me, i used to spend all time in my computer .... but now i spend 3~5 hours a day ...
I usually spend around 2 hours or a little less per day on the computer counting my computer class at school. On weekends, I actually spend less time, like about an hour. My mom gets very angry when I'm on the computer too long, so I try to keep it on the down-low. We can and we have lived without computers for 1000s of years, and I think we could do so today. We would have to bring down these things called "books" from our attic and start using those.
of course we can. Parents (espeicially mothers) see us as playing on the computer even when we are doing homework. They normally create something for us to do even when its already done. i.e. Wash the dishes honey. When there is ONLY 1 PLATE! They think computer is bad because they ind it very boring, but once you know all about computers even your mum will get hooked
I'm usually always online. I'm guessing about 8-10 hours on weekdays and 14+ hours during the weekends. This is of course, if I don't have any plans for the day. Also like most of yours, my parents.. or well, rather my mom thinks that I spend all my time online just playing games such as Unreal Tournament, Jedi Academy, etc.
I do use a computer a lot . I spend most of my time in front of it. So much so that a day without the internet makes me go mad. Becoming so addicted to it scares me event o think of living without it for a day. But, practically i do spend a lot of days without it. I can go without it for a few days maybe. But thats it .Not much long
Sorry I kind of went off topic there...but this is all true. I definitely can't live without my computer. I think there are a lot of people that can't live without one. You'd most likely find at least one in every house, even if it's a Windows 95 or something. You know, there's not much to do down in this small area but fish. The internet is my way of connecting to people from other places around the world.

hahaha my family is the exact same way! at first (and they still do) would say stop talking to your friends on messenger all day!! but i mean come on, i graphic design, most of the times most of my instant messenger services are offline.. and for the regular i am on my computer at least 4 hours a day or so.. sometimes ALL DAY, but ofcourse im listening to music and doing some worth while stuff..
its not like im on the inet watching porns, or trying to get laid, like most people are, which is the only side of the internet that gets portrayed on the media for the sad part.. but i think that as time passes by it will become more and more normal.. specially on our kids generation, 10-20 years from now, since eveyrthing is now done digicly.. you can even order a pizza through the internet!! if i think its a good thing, in a way i do, in a way i dont, people will become less sociable, IN PERSON, due to technology we will have more and more cases of people who you talk to online and they seem to be charming, meet them in person and cant even spit out a word without freaking out, neverless carry an actual eloquent conversation.. technology should be used to inprove our lives, find cures of cancer, global warming fixing, etc etc, QUOTE (drh @ Apr 16 2007, 01:47 PM)  Hello there. My family members keeps annoyingt me becouse of sitting by computer so much. They don't care, what am I doing: programming, reading news, posting in forums or reading emails - they allways think that I'm just having fun, and it's no use from computer LoL So I decided to ask, how much time a day do all of YOU spend sitting by computer? Just trying to find out: 6-8 hours per day is normal, or I can call myself computer maniac already... computers have become a part of life in the todays world. its hard to imagine of a day without a computer. computers have many advantages also equally they have disadvantages. it all depends on viewers view point. some people use the computer just for playing and having fun some people use it for performing their day-to-day activities and some for earning and i am 1 among them. so for me thinking of a day without a computer is allmost impossible QUOTE (kasperooney @ Jun 21 2009, 10:25 AM) Even if you're not a computer addict and do not have a computer at home, chances are that you may have to run into a computer pretty soon to get some work done. Even if you don't have to operate it yourself, you still have to depend on it to get the work done! Now howz that? Yes that is certainly true. It is virtually impossible to claim you are not having any contact with computers in your every day life. If we only talk about "direct contact" though it is possible to rid ourselves of them if we really want too. But I don't really the point of that, I think there are many other things we should get rid of, with better reasons, before putting our computers aside.
Theoretically it is possible to live without computers but practically.....never!
Even if you're not a computer addict and do not have a computer at home, chances are that you may have to run into a computer pretty soon to get some work done.

So no matter what people argue about the ill-effects of computers, they still have to live with them till this Earth stands.
