Hello. This message is not spam. I am truly doing a research about CMC (computer mediated communication). It will be great if you could spend a couple of minutes and write a few lines (5-8-sentences) on the topic:
"When I think about a computer, I imagine myself.....

Please state your age: 1. from 10 to 20 years old; 2. from 21-30 ; 3. from 31-40 4. from 41 ? 50 5. from 51 ? 60 6. from 61 -?.?.?.

Thank you very much in advance. I will compare your answers with those of Russian users and tell my students about the results (I work in Astrakhan Pedagogical University as a doctor of philology).

"When I think about a computer, I imagine myself....."

I'm not sure your English is advanced enough to make that statement the way you intended. But, for the record, I don't imagine myself as or doing anything when I think about a computer. When I think about a computer I imagine... a computer. Motherboard, RAM, processor, hard drive, etc. I'm 23.

When I think about a computer, visions of dancing electrons spin tapestries in my imagination, electrical currents that tickle the pleasure centers in my brain and lift me up to the brink of orgasm...

Oh, wait. That was the goat porn I just downloaded, sorry...

When I think about a computer, I imagine myself strangling the user who doesn't know how to use it, nor wishes to know, and yet whose job depends on using it.

Oh, and I fall into age category #2...

Do you need a computer to touch yourself?
Strange.
Nobody gave me such an answer.
You'd better find a woman. Her touch is more pleasant.

i googled for the answer
"When I think about a computer, I imagine myself.....
...when i was a young growing up in Louisiana before i ever heard about such things as computers. I imagine what it would be like to go back to those times when all the frustrations, aggrivations, and stress related to "technology" did not exist. I think about the times when I had to solve problems like how to get to the other side of the creek without getting wet or how to run across a gravel road without getting cuts on the bottom of my bare feet. I think about how all this computer technology would help to solve these problems and i conclude that it hasn't. I wish for a simpler life where things are peaceful and the only noise you could here were the birds, the crickets, and an occasional bellow from a cow. I think about how florescent lights, monitors, HVAC systems, phones, car horns, obnoxiously loud car stereos, huge parking lots, and high fuel prices must be a part of this technology explosion that causes stress, high blood pressure, anxiety, confusion, depression and overall discontentment.

this seems to be authentic, google his question and you'll find a bunch of other forums where he posted it

i don't get it, i don't think about computers like that and i don't sit around imagining things. is this some lame assignment from a college class? what is the point? how will this make a corporation more money??
