Sample Answers
When do you use a computer? I use a computer almost every day, usually for work and personal stuff. I mean, I need it for my job to stay organized and communicate with my team, but I also use it to watch movies, listen to music, and catch up with friends on social media. I'd say I spend at least a few hours a day on the computer, sometimes more if I'm working on a project or something.
When was the first time you used a computer? Hmm, I think I was around 8 or 9 years old when I first used a computer. My dad brought home this old desktop from work and set it up in our living room. I remember being fascinated by all the colors and sounds, and I spent hours playing games and exploring the internet. I think that's when I first fell in love with technology, and it's been a big part of my life ever since.
What would your life be like without a computer? Honestly, it's hard to imagine life without a computer! I think I'd have to rely a lot more on paper and pen, which would be a big adjustment. I'd probably have to use a map to navigate instead of Google Maps, and I'd have to find other ways to stay in touch with friends and family who live far away. It would be a lot more difficult to access information and learn new things, that's for sure. But I think I'd also appreciate the simplicity of not being constantly connected, you know, having more time to focus on the present moment.
Are there any times when it would be difficult for you to use a computer? Yeah, definitely. I think when I'm in a rush or under a lot of stress, it can be hard for me to focus on the screen and get what I need done. Also, if I'm in a place with really bad internet connectivity, it can be frustrating to try and get anything done online. And sometimes, if I'm feeling really tired or my eyes are strained, it can be hard to stare at the screen for too long. But overall, I'm pretty comfortable using computers, so it's not usually a problem for me.
