Now is the Winter of our disconnect...

[Bbbananas]

Could you (& your family) live without tv, computer, electronic gadgets & technology etc for 3 months?

[squarebear]

I could. I doubt the kids could though.

[mccfluff]

no

[DrFilth]

can you get pink floyd cd's that work on the old 78rpm :)

[NazNomad]

I could.

[ummmm]

No.

[hasbeen2]

yes.

[mazie]

I could. The kids couldn't..It's scary and god help us if the washer breaks or the hoover, they wouldn't think of hand washing or brushing

[JonnyBoy12]

Well, if I did that I would not be able to get a job, and I would die of AB withdrawal symptoms. Is that a recognised medical condition?

[McMouse]

No, because we need the fridge, freezer, heating, water, oven, lights etc.

[Bbbananas]

I don't mean those sort of electronics - I mean things like tv, computer, all these fancy wiis, gameboys, playstations, whatever they're all called.

The things that seem to have took the place of conversation, reading and physical activity.

[mccfluff]

no at all, take away my pc, phone, tv and i'll cry. i love reading but i need noise and communcation devices, otherwise its just me murph and a book (the book i don't mind)

[ummmm]

I need noise as well.

[China Doll]

Probably without most of the stuff as don't own TV or games consoles anyway. Doubt I'd last without Zappy though (my laptop).

[tiggerblue10]

Probably not. I need my PC to do my shopping.

[daffy654]

No!!! I could manage with just my PC though as I rarely watch TV.

[pa___ul3]

a lot of conversation is based on TV and games etc, as we all know, a lot of conversation takes place on computers. I'll live for 3 months without on the condition the three months are in a city of my choice! I'll take Barcelona please!

[mccfluff]

oh well that would change things, tucked away on a (luxury) deset island with paul walker for company, i'd give the lot up :-)




i think

[mazie]

I was having a similar conversation this morning with a woman my age about all the appliances and gadgets our kids just could not live without. when I was little we didn't have a fridge, TV, hoover or washer but we managed. I know it's different now and I wouldn't like to be without technology and all the convenience but I think I could get by

[WELSHYORKIE]

No TV for 3 months? - No Corrie, No Emmerdale, No Eastenders - sounds quite attractive until we get to 3 months without footie, rugby, aussie bashing highlights. So on reflection - NO

[craft1948]

No as I do my shopping and all my banking online. I could do without the TV as long as my local library doesn't close in the cutbacks.
