Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
I lived for over 20 years without one. No GPS to drive. No cell phone to text. I can do math in my head and write in cursive. I took a chemistry class with a slide rule.
We used to say we’d meet friends in a particular place at a certain time. Occasionally we’d have to use a payphone, but many times it was a handwritten list of directions. We all got there, mostly on time and at the right place.
Sure it makes a lot of stuff easier, but I did all of my thesis papers without Google and used the library as my search engine. I still type, but I learned on a typewriter.
My sense of direction is much sharper than the computer kids as is my grasp of a lot of knowledge and pattern recognition.
I think it would be slower, but I’d have a helluva lot easier time than any of the alphabet generations would. They laugh at OK Boomer, but have no idea that we can do a lot more when the power is out and there is no internet.
We just went through Helene and I was fine with no power, no internet and survival instincts I learned growing up.
Delusions of Adequacy 
I did a cross country road trip in 2012 and again in 2013. In a 2012, I used paper maps. In 2013, I used GPS on my phone. In 2012, I knew where I was and where I wanted to go. I 2013,i had no idea.
Did you lose water with Helene? That was what forced me on the road. No power was inconvenient, but not a show stopper. No water forced me to hit the road.
