Hmmmmm ... I use my computer to store documents with all different kinds of Math problems on them .... mostly TAKS related, though ... and it is very easy to hook up to the printer and print such documents out. None of that requires online access. And TAKS is a very small percentage of my tutoring business.
This year, LISD's new Math books are available online and so I always have the computer up and the online book open when a tutee has a book assignment ... or when they forget their book.
I can for sure do my job without a computer .... but it is helping more and more.
I first got a PC back in 1996 .... und used WORD and stored and printed documents. I got online in 1997 ... and have been there ever since ...
Let's see...about half my job depends upon computers: 1/2 of my curriculum is on-line, my gradebookk is on-line, and major reports to my school district are on-line.
I've had a pc since around '95, and I use a laptop daily.
As a Project Manager/Business Analyst much of my job is either directing the efforts of others on projects or interviewing them to get their business requirements. While I could do quite a bit without a computer, collection, organization, collaboration and ultimate delivery of successful implementations would be near impossible without not just a computer but the software, communication tools such as email, IM, desktop sharing and Live Meeting (online meeting) capabilities inherent in today's computers. Also the ability to create online documentation that can be shared and digested readily is critical. It is no longer a viable option to not have a computer. As you are discovering as you read this from what? Oh your computer....
Having said that I did not own a computer until after I met Pat in 2000. The first computer I worked with was a dummy terminal hooked to a mainframe in Panama at the intelligence site in 1983. The first true PC that I worked with was at the intelligence site in Homestead, FL in 1985.
My entire work day is spent at the computer. I suppose I COULD do my job without it, but it would mean 16 hour work days to get it all done manually. I think I would die without email though. Die, I tell you! Without email, I would be forced to talk on the phone to everyone and I would never get anything else done because I LOVE to talk!
I didn't have my own PC until around 1999 or so. I was way behind my techie husband who had one of the first ginormous ones back in the dark ages.
100%! I'm a system administrator so my whole career relates to servers, computers and software. Could I do my job without a coupter? Well, it would be difficult, but I could calculate payroll for 3500 employees manually, but would probably miss the weekly deadline to pay them and that is not a good thing.
I got my very on PC (IBM PC JR) in 1985 or 86. It was one of the last IBM PC Jr's sold probably since I got it for Christmas and the discontinued them on Jan 1. I really wanted an Apple, but the salesman pushed PC on my parents because "It is the business standard and IBM will rule the universe." So I got what I fondly called a boat anchor 2 months later.... I'm such an ungrateful git.
4860-067, with 128 KB of memory and a 360 kB 5.25-inch floppy disk drive, priced at US$1269 (it was never expandable either)

For me it would have to be occupation instead of job.
I don't know what I did with my "free" time before there was the internet.
I use my computer in almost all aspects of art. Even if it'sjust storing pics.
I would not be able to do my job without a computer, and that has been since I graduated from College.
I purchased a Dell in 04'.
