yes, these days computers appears to be useless asset if not connected to internet. Staying connected is important. Of course computers can be put to number crunching or word processing use in absence of internet, but the connectivity to internet brings life to computer. [common_man]
I don't really know if i'll agree with you or not. because as a Computer Science Student I still dont find computers worthless without internet. Though, internet would be worthless without google. LOL. When I was a kid (win98 days) I still use them just for the sake of trying to explore them when eventually, I crash them. [jazelann]
I think they are more useful with the internet but not useless without it. I can watch television on mine with a dvb dongle and play games that i have installed. It would be turned off more often if there was no internet. [pandaeyes]
Undoubtedly,internet is the most added value of PC.But computers are also widely used for intranet.Company users,who use the computers to communicate within the organisation,rely on the appliance to facilitate the efficiency of the business operation. [Godlovesweiqi]
I used a computer long before the internet. There are applications like Word, there was Wordperfect, Exel, Desk Top Publishing. You can buy graphiscs programs and a number of applications that do not require the use of the internet. However, with the internet you have many more options. [Lindalinda]
it depends on what you're usoing the computer for. if you use ut at home, i guess it's wothless without internet but if you work in a company where your job doesn't require the use of internet...i thinks it worths...but i don't know many companies who don't let their employees to surf the internet [andu_95]
They used to be useful before the internet even if it took 2 hours to print one graphic! [henniesaunders]
for me,its nothing without internet. everyday we used internet. but some people feel nothing when they dont have internet. with computer,we also can use the applications in there. [pgr1806]
It was so happened that your works depend on internet, but you can do something with your computer even without internet connection, like typing, photo editing, graphic designing, copying and printing to name a few. [lendmhe]
The purpose why my mom actually bought this computer of ours is just purely just computers and she doesn't have any plan to put up the internet. Hello, how we can make projects, go to our social networking sites, do research if we don't have an internet connection. So, thank goodness that I already have a job that time and promised to pay for our internet bills. So, until now, I am still paying it..spooked [joannaleed]
hi! no, they are definitely not useless/worthless without internet. there are so many things that we can do on the computer without even having internet connection- we can listen to thousands of songs without having to change the CD's, we can play games and entertain us, we can watch movies or just view our digital memories- the photos :) [phoenix8606]
I have been content with my computer even though the internet does not exist. I could play games installed with a cd,write documents ,listen to music,watch a movie. Now I have internet but sometimes I get tired of the addiction with this stuff. The only advantage of having internet I see was the ability to convey valuable information to the needy user. It connects people faster and cheaper. I learned that with the huge impact of internet to my life I have to step back a little. It can be the reason for laziness too. [cowboyofhell]
Yeah unless you have to do some office work or type a paper for school or something computers are pretty worthless to me without internet capability. I mainly use the computer for going online or to look at guitar and bass tabs so I can play along to some songs. [jambi462]
For me, I don't believe computer is a need, but they are want. Theys days, to improve the technology, almost everything is very dependent on the computers. providing those simulations and control to all the mechanical systems, gaming systems, electronic and more.. But a number of people would say sure, i could live without a computer, my guess is some of those people don't realize how reliant various normal activities are on computer behind the scenes. [missycra]
I personally feel that internet is one of the utility given on our computer together with many other useful things. It will depend on a person how and what for the computer is being used by him or her. There are many things that can be done without internet. Like I store my data on computer. I am a Stud Vet and I need to store complete data pertaining to each horse on computer which I update on day today basis. All photographs of my horses and the cases which I come across are being stored on my computer. I load my music and racing video clips on my computer which are very handy to me when needed. I have loaded some text books and technical videos in the form of virtual CDs by which I can access them at any time without the help of internet. I use my computer for writing letters and articles on word programme and store the same for future use. Thus I feel it is the individual's need and utility which is a deciding factor weather a computer is a useful tool with internet or without it. Thanks! [AKRao24]
I used to work with computer without Internet connection for years. Internet become widespread in early to mid-90', but there were computers in offices in the late '70s so people used computers without Internet connection for almost 20 years. Computers are meant to make work faster and save time and every single second they do at least a million calculations which normal person would do for years and even decades. Maybe most of you are kids, so you use computers only to communicate and search for info, but rarely would use them for developing huge projects, datasheets, databases, schemes, complicated calculations and other useful research tools. For most of you computer is like TV set - just another kind of tool to relax and sometimes learn useful info instead of tool for developing tools, for exploration, as well as for precise work. So for most people born in the Internet era it's really hard to imagine the real practical usage of computers, so that they are blind for the wide choice of practical things that they could do even without Internet connection. [trohichko]
It depends on who you are and the situation you are in. I'm a college student so I find computers very useful even with out the internet. Sometimes I have a project for school and I need to use power point or word and print documents or do some spread sheets and make budgets. I do have to admit, the primary use for my PC is the internet. [Courtney412]
Maybe not entirely useless but it would definitely be way better if it had internet access. Of course you could still have many uses for your computer even if it isn't internet connected like typing documents and spreadsheets, editing videos and photos, playing games to pass the time and boredom, and many more. Some of these things could be done more effectively and efficiently if there is internet though. [choybel]
hi java09 well with regards to your statement, i to don'tknow if i would agree with you or not. because anything can be done in a computer with or without the internet. so i think it all depends on how you see the computer. and maybe the best thing to do about what you've experienced is that you should find more things that can be done without the net and be in a more appreciative and productive interms of computer usage. Hope this gets to you.. [jwizard_green]
Well, I think it depends on the computer user. If you're only using your computer for to access the internet for games and entertainment, then I guess it will seem useless to you. But before there was an internet, computers were very handy in terms of educational and business purposes. [ellimac]
I don't think that's true. When I took my computer back and forth to school everyday, I wasn't able to get on the internet at school. I was able to access just about every other application on my computer and what not without needing to be connected to the net. I may have gotten a warning or two opening certin programs, but those can be turned off. So, no the computer is useful without internet. There are games you can play apps you can use that don't have to have an internet connection to work properally. You just have to get creative with it. [kaylachan]
we can use a computer without internet .. are still many programs that are on the computer that we need to play it offline [likjen]
Hi Java I was off the net for so long before I got my computer and monitor, then I was still off the net until I found an internet package on time warner cable that I could afford. so all I could do was listen to my music files and play solitaire and some simple games that came with windows 2000. but once on the net I could go back to mylot and there I have b een ever since. hurray for mylot.hugshugs [Hatley]
To be honest I had my computer like five years before I actually ever even got internet for the first time. I played games on mine all the time and I used it to write and print things..there is alot you can do with a computer that doesn't have internet. You just have to have games that you have either downloaded that doesn't need a connection to play or have computer game disk. [mtdewgurl74]
Also you can still use other things like listen to music and use your digital camera to download photos and edit them and print. [mtdewgurl74]
As far as I'm concerned, computer is worthless without internet.thumbdown That may not be so in offices where people work on computers. I do online earning and search for information on the internet. Or else I don't have any use of it.niceday [tingtong]
I lived in the time of computers before the internet. I did basic programming, gaming, word processing.. It's not worthless at all. The internet just made it better. [nocturn98]
No definitely not! I have lots of work to do even when I amnot online. I have to do lesson prepartions, typing notes, lesson notes, handouts. Obviously the internet helps me a lot in my work but it is also a source of distraction for me. A computer is not worthless without the internet, but it does enhance it a lot. [ronaldinu]
I think computer is always useful but depends on the use or the purpose. If I need to do someonline task definitely its of not much useful for me but again there are many things which are done offline. If there is something which can be done offline utilize the the time doing that work and go online after finishing that. I would feel like not working on computer if not online. It fells like there is something missing which makes me incomplete. [AjaySinghBaghel]
I had a computer long before the Internet became popular and found it useful for wordprocessing and for keeping the household and business accounts. Whilst it wasn't that powerul (Amiga 500 for anyone who may remember them), I used it for putting titles on my home video movies. It used to take an age to load up the software, always by floppy disk, but for typing things out, it was far better than a word processor. happy_Derek [derek_a]
I do many things on my computer without the internet. The game i play is sims3 and its not done online. [jdyrj777]
Hello happy I have this game called hardwood spades on my computer I can play off line with bots, but I would rather play online with others, I think computers will be less fun if you don't have access to the net. Thanks. [kitty42]
computers were invented for purposes other than serving the internet. and the internet came only as an added feature of the computer. it eventually evolved as a major communication and research hub, which can only be accessed through the computer. now, even a high-end cell phone can be used to run the internet. and the computer can stand on its other functions, not just for internet. [bystander]
Even if you did a research paper you would need to have the internet to send to your instructor..... ON-campus classes even require to have internet to do some of your class work and keep in touch with instructor .... As we both know we could not enjoy mylot and its advantages of friends without the internet. [hagirl]
Hey Java! Unfortunately you are right! There is no use for a computer without the Internet! When the Internet goes down it's like the world stops! There really isn't anything to do with a computer, except play a few games as you already said or write a letter (OMG! and send it snail mail!) It is really scary how we have become so reliant on the Internet! I grew up in the age before computers! Now I don't know how to go one single day without it! How sad that is!lol [Opal26]
Yes, I use my computer with the internet to look things up, I always have a question about something. If I couldn't have the internet this computer would be just an expensive lump of plastic to me. [tcup345]
certainly it's not worthless. now even there is internet, but some ones still not have internet at home, while have it in the office. they only use the computer to learn things, or listen to musics, etc. [yolanda19191]
everyone should have the correct mindset about computers and the internet. we should alll look at these things as tools and not as an everyday need. tools are meant to aid us and not be dependent on them. We should be the master and not be imprisoned by "IT". Of course, the PC is still very worthwhile even without the internet, the PC was made not entirely for the internet. find something to do something physically worthwhile aside from the internet. caution , you might regret it in the future if you don't. Do some physical activity. [tigerdragon]
Without internet connection, we can not discuss, play games anything or earn (those who earns) from online. Unless i have any office (working ) related activities, i may feel lonely. I never had such experience. Even if i do not have any net connection, i go net browsing centre and i do something on net. [ranjith143]
oh baby sooooooooooo poor, ha ha ha [ravi899]
no way not at all, who do so think like that not at all the world not working with internet it's with the computers, o k. [ravi899]
before the Internet came the computer to perform useful to do calculations or tasks that need to be done. Without internet a computer is also very valuable but it was minimal because our knowledge that we can get only slightly. Now you can even use a mobile phone to use the internet, the internet is not something rare anymore because almost everyone in the world have it. [May2k8]
for me, the computer is not entirely useless without the internet. although it has less use. well you could use it to play offline games. you could use it to process paper works and other stuff. but of course the internet has many things to offer. you could not enjoy the lot without internet. yeehah! [basqui]
actually if theres no internet we can still use computer for paper works like school works, office works and even to edit pictures and etc. though we only appreciate computer if theres internet as we can do a lot of things with it. if theres no internet around then i dont think i will buy my own computer at home as i bought it to chat with friends and family here and abroad and now with my online income. [homeshoppers]
I use my computer to make fryers for the church, and to write notes for my bible teachings. So, my computer is worth some thing to me even if I do not have the in- ternet. I also use it to make my pictures and print them. No, my computer is not useless without the internet. [jezzmay]
I believe computer's are useless without an internet. All you can do there is to type your blogs on word and to save your pictures that you get on the net. When you get bored you can type blogs, play music, if you saved videos there you can watch, or you can look at the pictures you also save them and crop them, but there are no learning and new interesting adventure included. If you get fed up by doing it all the time, there will be a time you don't want to open your computer anymore. I believe if the computer have internet, you can do mylotting and visit other earning sites you have. The first thing that gives you advantage is the earnings because it is really possible to earn online. Aside from earnings are the downloads, you can add some more downloads. You can update your blogs. You can chat or email, you can meet friends. You can update your social sites and you can see the updates of your friends. There are some people studying online, without the net how can they able to be there on online class. [grecychunny26]
No, not exactly dear friend, Though internet is essential for me everyday, but my PC isn't worthless without internet as I do other works with it to earn (typing various documents on MS-Word, MS-Excel etc.) my livelihood. Moreover, my PC is loaded with games and I play games when I can't use internet. Have a nice day.happy [faridmadeabillion]
