basically every job, except strict manual labor requires technical skills. if you dont know how to use a computer to communicate within your company and with other companies you are worthless and nobody will hire you. the only way to learn computer skills is to use one. lots more, just my current thought

    Well, is your question trying to convince your friend to buy one?
    Buying a computer is different from learning how to becoming computer literate.

    Computers are a tool. Can become very useful or can become abused. Yes, society is becoming dependent on PCs. Don't be left behind. There is no need to be so far ahead that you become beta testers. Simple rule of thumb: "Leading Edge Not Bleeding Edge"

    A computer is a/The :

    Machine for downloading porn.
    What you are on now.
    The most useful and most frustrating thing any human being will ever work with.
    If you're looking up for the word computer, kill yourself.
    A tool that is supposed to save time but instead wastes time:
    1. Viruses
    2. Bugs
    3. Crashes
    4. Spy-ware
    That addicting little box you're sitting in front of.
    A device usually used for entertainment purposes.
    An excellent tool for completing several tasks, and multi-tasking. Allows you to get work done very quickly, and make it look great. Also used for gaming, research, online chat, and other forms of communication. Usually a problem-free machine that won't give you hassle unless you're using Windows.
    A genius! an object smarter than your boyfriend/girlfriend, can give you more pleasure and doesn't answer back. Relationships can be formed on it and whenever you get bored of it, there is a handy on/off switch.
    You can do pretty much anything you want with a computer, like God, but the computer also has free will, God's gift to humans, so it could suddenly crash if it wanted to.

    Gaming.
    Watch movies
    Download music
    Talk to friends (msn messenger etc)

    And if that does work......Just tag free porn on the end of that list. I'm sure that will bring him around
