Without computers/internet my job would be redundant so it would probably be rather inconvenient

I'm very reliant on it just now but if it was substituted for a well stocked library I'd be just as happy I think.

Our database at work had a corrupt calendar table and the majority of the business was stuffed until it was up and running.

Our work would be fucked without PC's.

My job would rely on drawing boards, shit loads of paper and stationary.
We just got rid of working with drawing tanks and A0/1 sheets which were a fucking pain in the arse.
