Are computers a hobby or a way of life ?
How do you use yours?

Computers ?
I use mine for communication mostly, and entertainment. It's the only way I can communicate with my family and friends back home and not have it cost me an arm and a leg.
A hobby with my friends, and more of charity work with my family (fixing and upgrading) 
.
.Definitely a way of life for me. Atleast that's the status currently..
Computer is a way of my life , work , communicate , entertain
It's generally both 
, it's a hobby the way posting on forums is a hobby lol, but it's also the only way I can talk to family and friends who I don't see often. Msn is a lifestyle really lol, but surfing the web and playing games are hobbies...

Both I think. Hobbies and way of life.

Ditto. I use my computer right from designing Websites, editing photos, to listening to music, watching videos, checking the Internet, etc. It is an important part of my life, at home and at work. 
They're one or the other or both for a variety of people. For me, it is a hobby. I guess I am too young to say I do work with the computer, but I don't stop trying.

1. Merely a tool: as a pen, paper, book, mail.
2. Fighting: trying to make it work how I need, not how somebody who didn't pay for this computer wanted.
For me it is a bit of both. I use my computer for entertainment and to pass the time. It has become a way of life for me on my job as an engineer. All places I do work for require use of a computer.
Amazing how we all use computers but in High School a computer course is not required to graduate.
Ag is used by 1% of the population but is required now.

Well, I wouldn't say that the computer itself is a hobby, but I use my computers for one of my hobbies - code programming
Nowadays, however, I use my computers (I have a laptop and a stationary desktop pc) mainly for school work.

Between being part of my career (I'm a web and graphic designer) and being my favorite hobby...it's basically...my life, period. How sad is that?
I use computer in school and also (I hope so) I will use computer in my work - after I end school. I want to work as network's administrator, but world is more beautiful than games and everything connected to computer - like nature, sports and books!
Computers are my passion as far as I remember. I use them in everyday life and will use in future job (as a programmer I hope).
Computers are a way of life for me. I use it like everyday, for chatting, gaming ,watching movies etc. Its like an addiction to me...
my computer is a huge hobby. But I don't use it only for gaming.
I use my laptop in school in nearly every lesson for working and have also earned money with it, in designing websites.
So it's both. Hobby and way of life. ^^

Computers are a way of life but there are so many things in computers that creates many possibilties of hobbies for anyone. If you are interested in learning new things about a computer, or surfing the internet, playing PC games, creating programs or designing graphics or webpages, these are hobbies. If you just use the internet for important matters such as communication through email, chat or internet phones, or just visit websites for different purposes like shopping, research, writing a paper, then it is probably not a hobby.
We certainly use the computer both ways. I dont think there is a person not using the computer as a way of life or as a hobby. Same for me. It is both hobby and way of life.
It's a way of life, can't pass a day without it 
, sometimes i open my computer and leave it opened lol XD, but i enjoy it and i dunno why.. it's like smoking i can't leave it a day, using it for communicating and games, songs, movies,, barely everything..... i also love designing websites and graphics designing also is wonderful! Enjoy your time!!
And i would like you to help me make some money with ads don't worry nothing harmful, no viruses or spywares..
Just click Google Ads on my website: http://maplegx.co.nr

Computers...computers...computers... I wouldn't be here if I didn't love computers. There's something about technology that I love, figuring out new gadgets and whatnot. For example, Street View. They're finally getting around to doing my city, and I LOVE the fact that they're doing it. It's a great way to show that nothing is impossible.
I'm constantly on the computer, there's just so much to do. Browse the internet, watch movies, play games, code websites, play around with Flash, draw. There's an endless amount of possibilities, and that's something I love doing.

Both, I guess, but it also depends on what we put on them doesn't it or is it in them?
Computers themselves are a tool, not really a hobby per ce. They're about as much of a hobby as a car engine or a set of garden tools. Of course, the tool can be the basis for a number of hobbies; gaming, coding, media, writing, hardware building, etc etc.
It's like guitars... are they a hobby? No, but playing them can be, so can building them... so can collecting them.
What city, if you don't mind my asking? I see you're also in Canada, but, well, 2nd largest country and all They were just in my area too. Can't wait until it's actually added.

Spend most of my time on a PC, either in my job as a software developer or maintaining one of my hobby websites or playing games or posting on forums like this. Shame 'coz I absolulety HATE computers - they are the work of The Devil

Both.
I make my living by day with computers. By night, some work carries over and my computers become somewhat of a hobby. So, that's why I said both.
Ha. Way of life. The comptuer is basically the central item in my room, and so much of the rest of the world is identified by where the computers are.
Various subcategories of computer activity are a hobby, but no, computers are a way of life.
