What would you do in a world without computers?
>>
>>54213593
Work.
>>
Kill myself.
>>
I'd get in to another hobby where I buy things that depreciate quickly. Like cars.
>>
>>54213593
go broke buying books, and trying to fill the void in my life that music currently fills, since without computers I would have very limited access to music of any kind and it would mostly be decided by others, what I get to listen to
>>
Build one myself.
>>
Enjoy myself now that I'm free from technology's grip
>>
>>54213593
Probably get a job and a wife or something and socialise with people.
>>
>>54213593
Jump motorcycles over shit in an american flag themed riding suit like Evel Knievel.
>>
>>54213593
Enjoy life
>>
Find somewhere else to get porn.
>>
>>54213593
Read books and sit around and play chess.
>>
your mom
>>
>>54213593
Invent computers
>>
>>54213593
I can't even find a job with a computer. I'd be fucking hopeless.
>>
Probably have a stable job and be married with kids.
>>
what do autistic nerds do before the era of computers?
>>
>>54214243
Become engineers
>>
>>54214243
they found escapism in books, chess, dungeons and dragons, roleplay, math, whatever.

Introverts would just stay introverts forever.

live like it's 1945 just like everyone else
>>
>>54213593
What do you mean? Technically the word "computer" is very vague; anything that can perform arithmetic operation is considered as computer, even an astrolabe
>>
probably go to a boring-ass day job and read books most of my free time, maybe write
>>
Fucc bagina
>>
>>54213593

Race cars. Fast cars.
>>
>>54214932
I had read that as "even an asshole", and had thought of three different ways an asshole can perform arithmetic before I realized it was "astrolabe".
>>
i'd go fucking babbage on you retards and invent computers
>>
>>54213593
join jihad and get 72 virgins
>>
be first to start on that stupid thing of transistors and logical gates and start building one of those silly kamp u tars?
>>
Read, write, drink, and whatever else autistic shutins would've done before computers.
>>
>>54213593
read books instead
would have went to trade school to be an electrician after HS instead of going to uni for computer science

often i wish computers were never invented, or at the very least had never progressed past what we had in the 80s
>>
>>54215501
LMFAO, calculate the curvature of dat ass :L
>>
>>54213593
Become an alcoholic probably
I practically live on my laptop

>>54213593
the same thing i did every day before 1994 when i got my first computer.
>>
>>54213593
work in a factory, because we would go back to a mechanical age
>>
Math

If you answer differently you don't belong in CS
>>
>>54213593
Probably read way more books, go outside more, spend more time on my hobbies.

Life would probably be more worthwhile without these shitty machines.
>>
>>54213593
would be a chef
>>
Watch IB Technicolor cartoons and movies in the theater because that's what people actually did back in the day.

same here
it's quite ironic actually

I, too, study CS at a university but as soon as you reach the very edge of all the shit, you wish computers just stayed at banks, the military and research labs
>>
Maybe get to know what love feels like. I don't know.
>>
Get out more, by which I mean atleast twice in 365 days. Talk with people. Socialise. THANK GOD FOR COMPUTERS AND BOOKS. F SOCIETY.
>>
Magic mushrooms
>>
>>54213593
Work in public administration, writing reports. It's the other thing I am good at, but it's not as much fun as working with data.
>>
>>54213593
homefree
>>
Go outside. I remember doing that as a kid before ask this computer shit.
>>
>>54217082
>math
STEM faggots are fucking insufferable. Kill yourself, you faggot.
>>
>>54213593

Books
Archery
Tea
Gardening

Feels good to have hobbies
>>
>>54213593
Ive been hooked on computers since age 4, I barely have any memories before that. Now in my late 20s.. but I dont think my personality would turn out that different.

Probably some other hermit lifestyle would take over. Television, Model building, gardening, reading, collecting, drawing etc..

Nothing well productive of course.
>>
rape and pillage
>>
>>54213593
probably just read and watch movies all day
>>
Drink, a lot.
>>
not be virgin
>>
find some other autistic profession / hobby
>>
>>54213593
Draw and stop putting it off. I really wish I could have been in an alternate eality where the home computer never happened as a social thing. Star trek or some shit
>>
>>54218371
holy shit, I would read this if it was actually published. Is it available anywhere?

I do. Let me be honest, friend. I once fapped to a milk ad in a magazine with Neve Campbell. In my car. On my lunch break.

I'm not ashamed.

Read a lot more books than I currently do.

>>54219818
The first thing I ever fapped to was an mri scan of people fucking...
>>
>>54213593
I probably would have socialised more and I'd be a completely different person. It's impossible to say. Maybe I would actually have a job and a career.
>>
Kill myself, tbqh
Living in a shitty third world country with no libraries, no art, I don't know where I would get any worthy knowledge.
>>
Kill myself and others

Not sure. I had some other hobbies before computers took over my life.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

God I hate the word "hobby". Every single person who "has hobbies" or thinks "having hobbies" is good, is, without exception, boring, uninteresting individual. I have yet to be proven wrong.
>>
>>54221312
my hobby is WW1 and 2 political history and my favorite band is Neutral Milk Hotel.
>>
Kill myself
>>
>>54221330
Boring as fuck. I was right again.
>>
>>54213593
Make my own.
>>
>>54221341
Its not boring as fuck, after work at the office I go and have a beer with colleagues and I go to my sons baseball games ever second weekend. Favorite shows are the apprentice and M.A.S.H.
>>
>>54221312
So you only do activities you don't like?
>>
Be successful. Happy.
>>
>>54221312
My hobby is programming.
>>
>>54213593
I doubt I'd have a social life, but I'd still have some autist-level hobby.
>>
>>54213593
I dunno. I'd probably be more into radio. There'd sure as hell be more stuff on shortwave nowadays.

>>54221785
Hell if I know I haven't played in years.
>>
>>54221675
i remember trying to play runscape back in 8th grade with my fat nerd classmate but i couldn't get java to run so i told him to fuck off and to get yugioh cards, should've tried to get that shit working i wouldn't have wasted so much money on fucking cards.
>>
>>54222125
you woulda spent it on runescape instead. Also you can probs resell your cards if theyre still condition
>>
>>54213616
huehuehuehuehue

>>54213593
i'd probably be a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and an amazing composer. also i'd fap far more less and would do something productive rather than post shitting dick nipples on a stupid weeaboo imageboard

>>54223466
