      <description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, before everyone had a smart phone, owning an actual computer was a luxury.
I can't think of one household that I know, friend and family, that does not own a computer. I am not just talking a game console, phone, etc. I'm talking a hardcore desktop computer. If computers didn't exist, I wouldn't even have a job I bet.
