Life Without Computers (DP#36)

—

What an interesting concept!

If I was without the use of a computer all of a sudden, I would feel like my life would change drastically pretty quickly. I would have to go to the library to even continue writing this blog for one. This could be a blessing in disguise since it would force me to finally update my library card so I could rent physical books once again (lol). If my phone counted as a computer, my lack of one would cause me to feel more isolated from my family and friends which is both a positive and negative. I would be the last one to learn about certain events happening or news within my circles. It would also save me the headaches caused from all the drama that arises as well.

If computers never existed to begin with, my life would have been built on a whole different foundation. I would no longer rely on the conveniences the internet brings. I would be forced to do mundane things myself which would instill greater independence and less procrastination (hopefully). I imagine I would be more active as well if I were having to physically leave my house for purchasing and socializing once again. Heck, my eyesight would be a whole lot better as I wouldn’t have spent those dark nights staring at a bright screen. As a writing hobby, maybe I would be interested in publishing blog posts in a newspaper instead. That would be quite cool. Without the constant connection to the web, our world would feel quite a bit smaller since we would no longer be hyper fixated on what was going on across the globe. We would be entirely focused on what was happening in our own small corner of the world and that is definitely not a bad thing. It is crazy to think how everyday life would be without computers. Like, would the internet no longer be a thing? or would the apparatus to use the internet be completely different?

● About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
