    I think that it's necessary in this day in age to have a computer to ensure that you use it to things done easily. Computer helps you to shop online and find better deals compared to when you go to shops. Computer helps you to organise your work files into your system, it will prevent you from losing important files which you might need in the future. Having a computer has helped me so much, it has helped me to stay up to date with the latest fashion trend as well as the news. My brother and sister love to play games during their free time, it keeps them busy during the weekends. I'm a student so I use word document to type up my work which is much more convenient for me to write up faster and keep it safe. In my opinion I think having a computer is a most to ensure that you stay up to date with the trends and also keep your work stored safetly.

    Computers are a necessary evil in today's society. In my opinion, computers can be evil things used to terrorize, oppress, and abuse others. All we need to do to examine this fact is look at the news and social media. Social media and the news are becoming synonymous with each other. One need not watch the news if they have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or the latest social media platform. Everyday we hear of someone being murdered as a video is live-streamed through a computer, people spreading pornography and hate speech, and people threatening others using a computer. Regardless of whether you hear the latest tragedy on the internet, or the seven-o-clock news, it always revolves around the use of a computer. The news is even formatted to make it more readily downloadable and spreadable through social media. Nevertheless, as evil as they are, computers are very necessary.

    Computers are used for working, staying connected, shopping, communicating and even streaming television programs and movies. If I were to go a day without using a computer, I would feel totally disconnected, in more ways than one. I don't need cable TV because I can just stream all my favorite shows. If I tire of my boss or the ordinary work environment, I can retreat to my bedroom and work online. When I am too weak or bedridden I can communicate through my computer phone or a chat session, and I can even shop and buy groceries online. All major companies use computers. How could we ever thrive in a society without a computer when everyone else is plugged in? Computers are very necessary.

    In a home where there are kids studying, I believe that it is necessary to own a computer. These days, kids' home works need to be computerized and having a computer unit at home is a very big help. It is a very hard situation if the kids would still need go to the internet cafes every time they have assignments or they have to download something. Not only that you are thinking about their safety on their way; going to internet shops is also more expensive because they would charge you depending on the number of hours the kids spent in front of the computer.

    With the current level of technology, I think it’s very necessary to own a computer. Simply because with it you can access anything you want from wherever you are, but putting into considerations that you have a phone that can access the internet, you may not require it. All in all I think at some point it’s necessary for you to own one.

    It appears to me that computers are fading, the Personal Computer is becoming more difficult to find and even more difficult to justify, as mobile devices that are lighter and more versital are replacing them. Phones and tablets are becoming more powerful, convenient, and affordable making the PC less relevant.

    I generally use my smartphone to check emails, bank account, send text messages, and take pictures to name a few things. My computer does not do well with picture taking. The PC usefulness for me is the word processor. Once smartphone provide a decent word processor, I really won't be able to fully appreciate my computer.

    I think it depends on a person's lifestyle. Some people think they don't need computers thinking it requires a lot of technical know-how to operate. Some feel they are too old to start tinkering on new technology. While there are others that feel it is an important component in their lives, meaning either it is their means for making a living (i.e. writers, bloggers, online marketers, etc.) or as a way to stay connected with friends and family.

    For me I believe as the rest of you that a computer is a necessity in the home and now that computers are mobile everywhere. If you can't have on yet there is the public library where they have netbook borrows like a book you can borrow a netbook and internet computers to borrow. Since the library's internet computers and netbook borrows are free it's popular and many times there is a waiting line for it's use. You can earn online and pay taxes online so necessity a computer is and very essential for you can get social security when you pay taxes even if you earn the pittance the survey sites pay, you get credits for paying taxes no matter how small the amount your report on your taxes are so you can collect social security. If only the security was better. I've the problem of being invaded with strangers loging into my accts. and no matter how many times I change my password, they manage to login to my accts. Now my email is disappearing. It's such a bother that people do illegal activity online and offline! Anyway, I like computers and make a living with it, so yes it's a necessity for life. Even if you need computers for information like recipes it's so handy and easy to use.

    I do not have a personal computer, I have a smartphone. I do all if my online business with my phone, and it works. The downside of not having a computer is that there are so many more things that you can do with one than you can with just a smartphone. I am planning to buy a computer just as soon as it is financially feasible for me to do so.

    Due to the technological advancements, people are rapidly adopting to the changes that are happening in our day to day life. In the past owning a computer was costly but now everyone can afford it at a very affordable price. Also, computers are much better as we can store more data with a great memory.

    But now we can get laptops and notebooks with the same capacity, easy to portable around and everything. Even I myself own a laptop which is very handy but I still am still planning to buy a used computer for my projects and stuff.

    Even though I am a computer major, I feel that owning a computer of your own is not a necessity; although, I do feel that is vital to have access to one.

    For those people who are unwilling to purchase a computer, I am sure they have friends or family who do own one. Likewise the local library and college have computers for public use. And when it comes to storing important information, a USB drive or even CD/DVD disks can get the job done similarly to storing it on your computer's hard drive. Furthermore, your cell phone can be used as a method to Google information and play games. So in my opinion, you do not have to own a personal computer; yet, in a world full of technology, it is vital to have access to a computer, especially one with the internet; rather it is for business, personal, or research purposes. As you stated, "there's no reason why a person can't own a computer"; yet, with free computer access I do not feel it is essential to own one...

    However, if you are very protective of your private information, then a public computer is not for you, and you should purchase one.

    I currently have a laptop, a desktop, a cell phone and a PS4 with internet access, and a IPad; yet, occasionally I still find the free to use computers, printer, and internet at the local library and college to be very reliable and useful on certain occasions.

    And as a computer geek, I can also tell you that cheaper is not always the best choice, especially when it comes to Gigabytes and performance.

    Yes, In this modern era everyone used to speak in technical language, Everyone seeing is a digital world, Everyone travelling in a fraction of seconds, Every work is done within few minutes only, Whatnot all are encrypted in digital form. If a computer is a body then google is a soul to that body, We can't live without the internet these days. In that manner, internet is embedded in our lives. So for our personal uses, we will require/own a computer.

    I agree that it is necessary to own a computer. Technology is advancing the way things are done at work, school and in stores so having technology at hand or at home can help with those adjustments needed to function in society. Some people think that having a smartphone will suffice but truth is you can save more on a computer than a phone. A word of advice: make sure to insure your computer because things happen and parts malfunction so please protect your investment and save yourself the trouble and money in replacing it if something happens.

    During this time and age it is imperative to own a computer, since the world is linked to technology and every piece of your life at some point will need the assistance from a computer. If you need to hand it a project a school, you need a computer. If you want to communicate with your relatives, you may use a computer. Also, there are many jobs online that require you to have your own computer, so there is no reason a person would not want to have a computer, unless they actually do not need it.

    Yes, owning a computer was very necessary. However, nowadays people just use Smartphone. It's easier to use plus phones are portable. So if you just want Internet browsing or playing some causal game then you don't need a computer. Though, you still need one because some works need it.

    I agree with almost all the members, hi guys ;). Of course, no body can deny the necessity of the computer. Regardless to its daily use, people are making living with :D. It pushes a step further to have another necessity which is Internet. A great couple I think.

    Obviously! It's great to have a PC and a web association in each home. But,we can't state that it is an unquestionable requirement in each homes. There are many utilizations on the off chance that you have a PC at home. It helps us to make any sort of work especially simpler. It will likewise help in our review matter.

    Presently, many inquiry machines are accessible where we can get any kind of information.It likewise helps us in minimizing the telephone charge in the event that we are calling to different nations. So,we can't state there is no need of PC as a method for imparting individuals abroad. Presently a days,we can likewise hear their sound and even observe them! At that point why can't everyone simply purchase a PC and a web association!

    It's definitely necessary to have a computer at least for me. Computers are my life and thanks to computers we have now smartphones, gaming consoles and even smart watches. Computers began way before all of these started to appear and become a trend, they played a significant role of what we achieved in technology right now.

    As for me, a computer helps me to connect with my friends, do my work and even play online games. Which I know that all of that can be done on a smartphone, but to me it's way better to do it on a computer.

    Obviously, computers are not portable like a smartphone so, each one has its use and none can replace the other.
