  1. I don't know about the rest of teens, but as long as I have paper and a pen or pencil, I'd be fine. It would just take longer to write my books. :3 Of course...I do have a typewriter.... -ponders-

    But I'd be outside a lot more, too. :3


  2. athletics and read. Maybe invent a tv? Go outside, swim...

  3. They could draw, write, read, play music, sing, dance, perform a play, do a craft, do some gardening ,cook, learn something new, play a sport, swim, bike ride, and sleep. There are so many things they can do.

  4. listen to their ipods.

    lol. jk (well not really).

    well i know i would read alot more. i already read alot, but if i had no tv or comp, i would prolly read 4 books a week.

  5. Read a book.  They would figure out something to do.  Once you dont have something long enough you learn to adjust.

  6. Right, because it's only teens who care about electronics. Nevermind all of the adults who blow money on HD TV screens, computers, etc...

  7. Take a paperback up into the nearest tree and sit there and read all day. Or, do old-school photography, and develop the pictures in a darkroom. Or spend half the day outside with a sketch pad and either charcoal or chalk pastels.

  8. well i...would be bored!!!!

    i told my mum the other day that if i didnt atleast have the internet i would have died

    it is soooooooooooooooo boring here

  9. It wouldn't be that bad for me. I usually play out side, and I play a lot of sports anyways. It would probably start to get to me though.

    Cell phone or phone?? Because I actually do need the phone for other things than just to talk all the time. But without a cell phone I would live :P

  10. We can always go out and do sports..

    If i don't have anything to do i sometimes want to take a break and play the guitar.. Living without the computer, phone or TV isn't such an extreme thing.

  11. I would read, I spend hours read every day, a few more wouldn't hurt.

  12. Holy $hit, i have no clue.

    Prolly read or play outside, but we wouldn't know the joys of computer, phone, or tv - so we wouldn't care. What did people do before those days?

    But I think modern technology is a turn for the better. I actually got in a fight with my teacher, she tried to say modern technology is ruining the world. Ha, what if some one tried to rape us and we didn't have a phone??? What then? What if your daughter was kidnapped or ran away? Want an Amber Alert - nope, try again! And what if your daughter was in a deep deppression? She could read websites and it might save your little girl from suicide. Oh but yes, technology is bad. Saving people is bad. Sorry, I don't believe that c**p. It's convienant for learning, fun, and rainy days - but useful during emergancys. Next time you find yourself saying we don't need all these things, think that it could mean a life saved.

  13. well if they never had it, they wouldn't care and just have other things to do. but, if it was taken from them, then they would probably whine and complain or go shopping. =D

  14. We only had a phone growing up....and now im not ancient...im only 22. But we used to spend a lot of time outside, hanging out with friends, or reading.

  15. if they grew up without it they would do what was done before these things existed , if it were takenaway from them they would probably find some ways to adjust .

  16. Why are you acting like all teens are addicting to it.

    That's not totally true, I'm sure there are some that aren't addicted.

    Teens in the past lived, so I'm sure this generation could too.

  17. The same thing i done in my teens. Go out, get fresh air, play sport ect

  18. Well that would save me and my brother and our entire family loads of cash. We can go traveling!

    My brother though...jeez...I dont know what he will do.

    As for the rest of the teens?

    s*x. Drugs. Drinks. or Suicide.

  19. Be bored.

    Lmao, that happend like a month ago. The power went out for 2 days!

  20. Run in circles going "Omigod Omigod Omigod what the h**l am I going to, like, do!?!??!" and then pull their hair and scream.

    But us normal people would just go outside and ride a bike. Or fly a kite. Or go to a friends house. Like normal people do.

  21. Me:

    - Sleep

    - Listen to my Ipod

    - Exercise

    - Read books

    - Hang out with my mates

    I could go on.. My life doesn't rely on any of those things-- just on the computer, a little. Hah.

  22. They'd probably be very sheltered or shy.

    They'd probably be teased in school too, because the norm of the student body today has a plasma TV in their room and a $500 dollar phone.

  23. Curl up like an old prune!  LOL!  As a 30-something, you are going to appreciate NOT having the phone ringing all the time.  I had a cell phone a while back and now i don't take it anywhere because it's costly and i hated being asked where i was...it's none of anyone's business!!!  Another thing, when you have kids, you're going to wish the TV wasn't on when no one is sitting in front of it and that the phone would for once, be for you!  But mostly, you will miss silence.

  24. They would actually talk to each other face to face.

  25. Be like our parents. When they were kids.

    Watch TV only on Saturday because of cartoons.

  26. Go to the mall..play a handheld game..stuff like that i guess.

    98% Of teens would die if myspace had an error and had to close down...lol fun fact!

  27. Keep on living my life.  I'm 16, and I love going camping and just having family, books, and a deck of cards

    I feel so...more in touch afterwards

  28. Why onoly teens and young adults and teens? I don't see ,y grandmother living without T.V or DVR I can list many adults that can probably live with out the compouter but not to many I see living without T.V or Phone

  29. well, my mom wont let me watch tv or play on the computer or talk on the phone durring the school year, and eventually you get use to it, its not so bad.

  30. omg! i would go insane! unless i could have sum other connection to mi friends. as long as i'm wit mi friends i'm good.

  31. Well... I could live without the T.v. and the computer... But the phone... Ah... I would drop dead... I love my cell phone. I hate to say it but I don't know what I'd do without it.
