Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
I may rely heavily on technology for work, but I can do without computers.
A word that comes to mind is tranquil. Life would be nice, peaceful and sweet without the "noise" you get from computers. I grew up reading books, and as I grew older I learned to appreciate walking around, taking photos, sketching scenes and objects, watching people, and experiencing places. I don't need computers to keep me entertained.
Computers (and smartphones, tablets, and other gadgets) do make many aspects of life easier -- things can get done faster, information can be obtained in a few seconds, communication is a breeze -- but I can be happy without them. I survived the first few years of my life without them.
When writing pays the bills, I'm sure there's probably a typewriter around and a good stack of writing papers. Writing by hand is not a problem, either. Penning something manually is a welcome activity actually, and an opportunity to practice my penmanship using the myriad of pens and notebooks I've acquired over the years. I may even be more motivated to finally start my visual journal.
Living in a city with plenty of places to explore ensures there's always somewhere I can go to without having to spend a lot, or anything at all. On days when it's not advisable to head out (read: typhoons, falling trees, slippery roads), I can always whip out my drawing materials and practice sketching and illustration. There's a book about tea I haven't finished. There's always something to do; I don't get bored easily.
So yeah, life without computers would be nice and fits with my idea of fun. It would be great to unplug for a while.
