How would your life be without electronics.

I once went nine days without power because of hurricane Ike, and I almost cracked. But I've stopped habits before so I'll get used to it after awhile I guess.

Not that bad really, I'd probably just read a couple books.

I would probably die. just kidding. It would be okay if it was for maybe like a month. I would find something to do. but not for my whole life. Do you also mean appliances? if that's it then i would die.

It'd be kind of annoying at first with no lights and such, but you'd get used to it.

Well, there would be no AG, first of all. That alone would be life-crushing. ;D

Well, it would be kind of boring, and the world would pretty much lose communication with one another. But I would be fine, since I'd just read a bunch of books.

Personally, I read much more than I use electronics. But the worst part would be the loss of Left 4 Dead co-op and CoD: Black Ops zombies co-op. *Shudder*

If i'd never been introduced to electronics of course i could live without. Now though? I'd go crazy.

Electronics are important.. for more than video games.

I suppose if they were never invented, we would be fine. If electronics suddenly failed to work en masse, I bet the world would be in limbo for a while..

And then all would be fine.

The OP is vague. I don't know whether he's talking about electronics in my room, house, or all electronics in the world. Well, for the ones in my room, I could live without 'em. Not sure about the other two, though.

I'm kind of half-half on the dying because I don't have electronics thing. Looking through my room:

Without T.V.: No entertainment.
Computer: No fun/games/chatting with friends/ etc.
PS3: No more fun.
Lights: I gotta see man.

Things that counters those things:

Books, paper (drawing, writing a story, diary, etc.), instruments (take time to play a song). and so on.

If I were to suddenly lose all electronics. I think I'd find it hard to cope for a few (ashamed to say this) months. Then my life would undoubtedly improve a great deal as I'd be more physically active, and using all my time either in books or the real world.

It would be really hard for me without electronics, because i can't talk with friends, can't search for stuff that help with my homework and ofcourse there's a lot of fun things to do with electronics. I think i couldn't handle it for very long, because boredom would come when i spent every day reading/sporting etc.

Couldn't agree more, Efan.

I've always pondered this question. I guess since I would have nothing to do inside, I would pretty much be outside alot. Also, I would be with friends more.
I guess in the long run, it greatly benefits me.

I wouldn't really care. Electronics are nice but I don't need them. I could do a lot of other things anyway. I could play my trumpet, draw, nap, read a book or, play a board game. Plus, I'd be to busy trying to survive to worry about no electronics.
