Since I am currently working as a home based article writer, the main purpose of my computer is for my job. I also use it for graphics design and video editing. My computer also serves as my way of entertainment which I play online and network games when I have no projects. I also use it for watching movies.

What about you?

My computer has become a multipurpose tool for me. Here are what I do with my computer.

1. For work. I sell software so I have a demo version of the software on my computer so that I can show it to my potential client. I also use it to troubleshoot problems encountered by my clients on my computer.

2. For communication. This is where I receive my emails from clients as well as personal mails.

3. For entertainment. I do listen to music, watch videos and play computer games when I have the time or when I am too bored to do anything else.

4. For blogging. I use my computer a lot to maintain my blogs and to visit other blogs on the internet.

5. For makings some money on PTCs. I joined a few trusted PTCs and once in a while when I have the time, I would just do some clicks and let the earning accumulate there until I feel like cashing them out.

6. For myLot-ting. Obviously. How can I respond to this without my computer. w00t

7. For financial planning - I use tools such as MS Excel to keep track of my income and expenses so that I do not spend all my money without realizing it.

8. For word processing. Sometimes we need to write letters and a computer is still the best to do that especially using a program such as MS Word.

I think I would stop there as that would be the major usage of my computer at the moment.

Cheers!

hi, jackal.. just like you I use my computer as a source of my income. I spend like 6 hours or more typing, reading, surfing, researching, editing... It's also a form of entertainment for me and my daughter. She watches her dvd collection of The brainy baby learning library and sometimes watch movie clips from Youtube and such.

Before when I don't have internet connection, I use my computer to play games and watch DVD... very much the same I think. wink Wow! I can use the mylot codes now, hehe! rasp

I am using my laptop to the maximum usage. I use it to do my job. I write articles for my blogs' contents, I type in it to post discussions in Mylot, I watch video when I have the time or when I am bored, I surf the internet when I want to find some information, I use it to do my translation job by typing my work using Microsoft Words, I make designs for book covers, business cards and greeting cards using Microsoft Publisher, I play online games with it and I sometimes chat using my laptop. In short, there are numerous things which I can use my laptop. It is therefore the most important asset that I have and I love it very much.

Well basically nowadays, most people use computer for many reasons. We use computer to do our online research not only for school works but also for our office works. Some find computer useful because they find it easy and convenient to socialize with other people. But for those who have no Internet access at home, they find computer useful by having it as a means of entertainment. They can play and watch movies with their loved ones or listen to their favorite songs.
