People go to places like the lobby of a country club, the local Starbucks, etc.,  very social public places and then sit there with their laptops and don't socialize?

Why don't they just stay home?

Clyde-B:
Free Wi-Fi?

If we guess right do we get a prize?

serious crayons:
I don't know about country clubs, but people definitely go to coffee shops to get:

-- free WiFi, as Clyde said, and

-- a place to work on their computers that might be quieter than their homes, if they don't live alone, and

-- coffee.

Sorry, no prizes, I just didn't know. 

Thanks, makes more sense now.

One of my best friends wrote almost his entire dissertation on his laptop at coffeehouses.  He had a routine of going to his favorite coffeeshop and pretty much working all day.  He said he liked having the background noise and the sense of being surrounded by people.  He clearly could have stayed home, but that can get a little isolating.

I also like to go to coffeehouses to read.  I hate lugging my laptop places.  It really might as well be a desk top, because I never take it anywhere.  But, I do regularly take a book to a coffeeshop and sit and read alone.  I think it's for the same reason... liking to feel surrounded by people, and the desire for some background noise.
