Would you cope with a computer-free life?

Have you ever asked yourself what is a computer in your room? Is it a friend or is it a foe? Is it a help or is it an abuse? Is it safe storing your information on the computer’s hard drive or maybe you should by a safe and use a typing machine?

Don’t bother answering these questions yet, it’s too soon. Think about another fact: an average user spends 14 hours a week (i.e. an average of 2 hours per day) sitting in front of his monitor and surfing the web or doing something else, in many cases absolutely useless. But think of those guys whose job is to sit at a computer and stare the whole day long into the shining image. In addition, when sitting at a computer you are subjected to a number of hazardous things, such as radiation, for example; or the picture on the monitor can cause serious problems to your eyes (if it’s a CRT one – the LCDs are not so harmful). And that are maybe the most harmless things: a computer will surely leave some trace in your mind, changing you forever.
