Hahaha I assure you I was not far from that, I panicked and was in shock, and even started crying at one point. I could not believe what had happened - a innocent weekend morning turning into a nightmare and all due to a copy protection software from 2005, for a game that I don't even like! I mean like for many people today, PC is not just a machine, it's the central part of life, for better or for worse -_- I would not have lost any important files, I think, but reinstalling the numerous programs that I use and setting them up would be painful and time consuming. |
I'd say the importance of the PC is massively declining. Most young people nowadays don't have a PC or laptop at all and instead use their smartphone for everything - even typical PC stuff like Word.
I doubt there was anyone who didn't own (or at the very least had permanent access to) a PC or laptop when I still attended school.
