Can You Imagine Life Without the Internet?

[Spooner]

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.


edit: for all you damn non-subscribers

a lot more people would leave their houses

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

there'd be a lot less cyber sex.

 

[PsychoAndy]

No. I cannot.

No, I'd just be watching TV instead of dinking around on my PC.

I lived ~24 years without it...

Not at all. Library? I don't even know where it is in my town, or IF it exists.

Imagine having to send a letter to get in touch with someone (if you couldn't call them)

Just weird!

 

[Pliablemoose]

I even can't imagine life without Google...

yeah we're trying to figure out what that is

 

[stev0]

yea! what is that?

 

[JellyBaby]

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.

Can You Imagine Life Without the Internet?

Yes.

 

[amdskip]

Yes and it would suck!

 

[Spooner]

What if the Internet was still charged on an hourly basis? I remember paying like $10/hr or soemthing on a 2400 modem!
:Q

 

[ElFenix]

less pirated pr0n!

 

[cjchaps]

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

LOL. Yeah, I agree with PsychoAndy. I advise a Mod lock this thread, and we never speak of this again.
