It is almost impossible to live without a computer these days. Most colleges require them and a lot of high school assignments require the use of a computer. Can you imagine going through college these days without a computer and printer in your room? It would be very difficult and you would find yourself needing other people's laptops all the time. They would be constantly annoyed and it would also be a huge hassle for you. Although you need them, they can be expensive if you buy them new. You do not have to do this though. You can buy a refurbished computer or a used computer for a fraction of the cost. It could save you a lot of trouble in the end to have one and since they are refurbished, they will be as good as new.

College assignments are basically all online. The professors give you papers to write, readings to download off of their websites, they send you emails and everything they do is done electronically. There are libraries available for use and it is possible to go to college without a laptop or computer, but you will find yourself in the library all the time or mooching off of other people. This could cause lots of tension between you and your friends or you and your roommate.

Even for high school students, it is insane to not have a computer. Teachers always assign internet assignments and if you do not have a computer in your home, you do not have the nice library services that a campus provides. They are expensive, but they are worth the cost and if you save up for them instead of having to pay a lump sum, you will not even notice that you spent so much money. It does not matter how much you earn, if you save up little bits, you will eventually be able to buy one. You do not have to get anything fancy either. There are small laptops that cost in the range of two hundred dollars and bigger ones in the range of five hundred. Refurbished ones are even less than that and are just as good as far a quality goes.

Let us face it; it is a hassle not to have a computer when you are in school. Even if you are out of school it is hard not to own one. If you own your own business or are very high up in the company, you are going to email your clients and business partners or do work online. If you travel a lot, having high-tech equipment is pretty much a necessity.

It is hard to get through life these days without electronics. Times have changed a lot and although the older generations may insist that we can live without it, it really is difficult. With school and our jobs, it is hard to get by. It is even the way we communicate these days and you would be out of the loop if you did not have a cell or a computer.
