Would You Enjoy Your Hobbies/Interests Without Today's Technologies?

[My Hubby Loves Civ]

they are just what you think is fun. and what you think is fun you do. and when you do what you do all the time.... you get good at what you do... which is all good and well.

there you go!

It is still a need...a need for fun, in your case.

at least here I can just look over and say - what? what does that post mean?? and than take a puff.. ahhh nice

[giblets]

Why not? Certainly, needs of self esteem, confidence, accomplishment, satisfaction, entertainment, ect...create interests and hobbies. Online forum chatting is a hobby for some and interest to others. That certainly develops from some personal need.

I lack motivation.

You certainly seem to have motivation to chat online? Interesting hobby, indeed. What would you do if you couldn't?

[giblets]

I don't consider posting on internet forums a hobby. If the internet didn't exist I'd probably watch more television.

weed grows most anywhere

just would have to be limited by mother nature

Listening to music. Regret giving away my turn table 10 years ago. I can make arrowheads out of beer bottles. :P


P.s. the trick is to empty them first.

No. I would probably be dead.

Bear with me on this one, I was advised to post what interests me. I believe most posters were drawn to this site due to their common interest in Civ. I would assume that most of you have other interests and or hobbies too.

It is true that I was drawn to this site by the game.

I do have other interests, hobbies and past times. Many of them predate the internet and personal computers. Without the Internet and computers I would simply be engaging in those other interests.

I first used a computer some time in the 1980's when I was already an adult.

Tell me more of this wine making.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "modern technology." I wouldn't have access to nearly so many books without a public library, if that counts. And I'd never be able to write--for reasons I've never understood, my hand cramps up really fast when I try to write by hand. I'd also be dead from asthma and allergies before adulthood if not for medical advances from the last century, if it comes to that.

It is fun but thrifty! I had to do something after my grape vines took off! Pretty simple process, just time consumptive! There are lots of online tutorials! Though, my suggestion, is learn to cook with wine vinegar. Eventually, some will be better for cooking than drinking. Though, you can use both in the kitchen!

I guess I was thinking in relation to some future catastrophe that cuts you off from the current technology you have become used too. I know my daughters freak if they cannot access the Internet or phones.

Books and games and reading articles, yes.

Theory, yes.

Experiment, no.
