@shrubbery That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, even if it is sarcastic.
You really can’t understand it?
I use a computer for at least six days a week. When I am out of my office there is NO WAY that I will voluntarily turn a computer on unless I have to. I have a BlackBerry to monitor essential email and that’s it. My normal social interaction is with real people, my preferred pastimes are doing things in a real world. The computer is a tool – a very use tool, not a substitute for a life. I would much sooner be out on the water, working around the gardens, taking photographs or socialising with friends and family than using a computer. When I don’t have those options available, and I am stuck in my office, things like Fluther offer a pleasant distraction. I also blog and write – all require a computer, but none could be regarded as addiction or obsession.
This is a normal attitude and response to computers. Those who regard a computer as the doorway to their only social interactions do have a problem – but it isn’t the computer and as long as they regard their problem as computer related, they aren’t going to be able to solve anything. As said in my first response, if you can’t recognise a problem you can’t fix it.
