My mom said that when there were no computers, she used to spend more time outside, on the phone, or doing other things. She also said that she use to either write on paper or use a typewriter instead of computers to type anything she needed to. She said it was harder to research without computers. It was easier to focus on one thing at a time because there were no computers to distract you. My mom said that the computer has made life easier because it saves time and money because she shops and pays bills online.
My dad said he used to go outside more and play a lot of sports when there were no computers. He also told me that that work was harder without computers because he works on his computer a lot. Spending time with family was easier without the computer because a lot of people spend a lot of time on the computer instead of doing other things. It has affected the way he lives and works because now that there are computers, he can work at home and his work is easier.
My aunt said that she did a lot more writing, mailing letters, and talking on the phone when she didn’t have a computer. Communication was harder without a computer because a lot of people use computers to talk on. She also had to go to the library more because there was no other way to do research. She thinks that people cared more about spelling and grammer than they do now because with computers, people just depend on spell check. It has made life easier for her because computers are more efficient, it is a better use of time, and there is more information to learn on the computer.
