Computers are totally awesome for writing. You can save, archive, look things up, have a character and scene list on one side of the screen while your active stuff is on the other, and generally boost your ability to quickly carry on getting your story put together. It rocks!
On the downside, you can at any moment hop onto the internet and investigate what that flavor of ice cream is called that's chocolate with little tiny marshmallows in it (it's Rocky Road, by the way, which I always thought had nuts). Or you can go watch that cat video everybody was talking about. And as soon as you blink, your IQ dropped five points and you managed to fritter away valuable time you could have used to advance your story. And then it's time to go to bed, because you have a real job that you have to wake up for tomorrow.
Worst of all, that cat video wasn't nearly as funny as everybody said.
