| | QUOTE I guess it's first of all pretty funny that you expect a computer to keep you entertained throughout your life.
I go on forums, check my orkut, flame the posers there on the communities (believe me, you will find the LARGEST amount of posers on orkut), play games, IM and then I am done. Apart from when I get a creative click and I make sigs and layouts. But that's a different story.
You guys need to hunt down for more hobbies!
um, hobbies are a form of entertainment. so if some make a life hobbie through the computer they are seeking for enteratanment for life on there computers. |

 i know. i so agree. not only can it get boring, it can give you a great deal of bad vision and eye bags. i remember when i was doing our thesis in a place provided to us so we can work on our thesis, i was doing my usual programming, then all of the sudden, i stopped. i was a bit tired. and looking back to all the sleepless nights and frustrating programming and fixing bugs that have some unknown remedy, i asked myself, "computer programmers are cursed for life". i mean looking at the monitor for prolong periods of time aren't very healthy and your profession tells exactly you do the opposite. isn't that amazing? now i sound like i'm ranting.

you could say computers have ruined our social lives , of course I rarely use my computer for entertainment except if I want to watch a movie, other then that I use the computer for work, school and some social occasions. I rarely use it for gaming purposes because thats why I got my playstation for . Do I ever like posers and morons that I find when I surf when they design websites for stupid stuff or when I surf around forums and find people sayign stupid things just to get attention and stuff. Waits that's me NOOO!!!!

I have to agree you but it only happens sometimes. I just go on the computer and play games, chat, and... watch. Well. I have so much to do on the computer that I will never really get so bored. I can't do anything else then on the computer >< I love reading and but I can't go to the library cause it wastes my parents car. I can watch tv though, and I can read books at home but I read it already, Its my parents books and I am too young, its really boring, its in another language. I would love to do some of my favorite things play tennis and swim. For one I can't swim or play tennis, again wastes gas, I might get a sun tan. I might be able to swim during the summer. Try it. :3 I watch tv and anime. Barely anime. Since my parents aren't home so much I eat without them and I eat near my computer ><;; I am not allowed to go and play with my friends because my parents don't agree, too busy, don't know their parents, and its "dangerous" their parents won't agree, and they don't know us. If it is to the library or somewhere near it yeah. Our city is pretty dangerous though. Alot of kidnappers and a gang is around here. I hear things like gunshots around here. I have bad vision but I inherited from my dad. I almost inherited everything from dad >> Even if I don't get outside much I am pretty athletic. I also have good grades even if I don't study or such. I might have gotten it from watching my sister too much. It does feel like it can entertain me for years. I have all these stuff. Although it is only once in a while it gets boring. Yes, I am a computer-freak. I am an indoor person. Except when i get to be an adult I might be entertained in cooking more. or Scientist. So I agree on both yes and no.

Hitting yourself in the face is pretty dumb  but ok, whatever floats your boat. However, I do fully agree with you. We have pretty exhausted computers. We use them so much now days that we are just used to what they do and seeing the same old things which we all know leads to boredem. Thats not to say I don't enjoy using it, it can be interesting at times when new things arise and its a good way to keep in touch with old friends and friends that live other seas. Its always good to leave it though, get away from the screen and enjoy the fresh air, I went indoor karting last weekend with a group of friends and it was great fun, theres a massive difference between talking to friends on the internet and talking to friends in person.

Well DUH! Sorry, but God made people to be social, not mouse potatoes. People who are mouse potatos need to go out and hang out and make new friends. The computer is whats causing a lot of you mouse potatos to be 40 year old virgins

Widescreen Computer Display
Is it better? (7) What do you think of the widescreen display laptops are beginning to adopt nowadays? Is that the

of (1280 * 800). For me I think these widescreen display should be the way to go, it allows you
more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge
amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it
tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the....

Computer Problems - Hanging/crashing

stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still
