Can You Imagine Life Without the Internet?

My other thread got me thinking. I'm a year and a half out of college now, and was just thinking of how different it would have been without such easy access to computers/internet. I was also in school with the big Napster boom was in its prime (great for getting lots of party music) and email was a necessity.

I'm just having a hard time picturing life without these conveniences. I have to check out a book from the library? The what? :Q

My 2 cents.

Geez, I don't know what I'd be doing, probably be in college educating myself to become an upstading pillar of the community, but thanks to the Internet, I'm posting on this silly forum 🙂
 
go back to the day of dial up bbs's been doing that since the 80's.. gotta have a computer with a modem in front of me in some shape or form!
 
I think the world would be a worse place without it. Some people might lose some weight and experience the pleasure of natural light again but by-and-large the benefits of the 'net far outweigh the negatives.

The 'net is changing though, becoming much more commercial. There may come a time when you want to see life without it. 😉
 
What if the Internet was still charged on an hourly basis? I remember paying like $10/hr or soemthing on a 2400 modem!
:Q
 
It would be like the good ol' days, when the 95% of the people "online" through BBS's were into technology and actually knew how to use a computer, unlike 95% of the morons who now use the internet. The only problem back then was busy telephone lines 🙁
