What do you think would happen if the internet was never invented?

    I think not nearly as many rich people would be rich because most of the money is through computer, and computer software. The internet is vital in buisness across the world and I feel America would not be trading so much around the world.

    I would never get to know so many friends from IM and chat forum coming from all over the world. :) Can't really afford phone calls

    I think something similar would have been invented in the place of it.

    I don't know about the world but I would be stuck at a job working for someone else still instead of being able to work for myself from home doing something that I love. What a horrible thought!

    Instant information would be hard to come by, unbiased(or biased) points of view would be harder to find. Lack of information, etc..

    That is, if nothing comparable was ever invented, of course.

    People would get out more, and none of us would be making any money.

    Without internet, we would be forced to do offline work and for some, it could be manual labor...

    i almost think it would be better if the internet was never created, as you remember people had to actually get out of the house and meet new people, people had to go out and do things not just sit on there lazy boy chair and have a wireless keyboard in there hands :p I think the internet has made people lazy to be honest with you.

    The downside is that the internet has opened up the world for everyone, made it a bit closer in most aspects. however it has also opened up bad issues as well like your child molesters, rapists, stalkers, hackers. Not like all of this was not present before the internet however its more prominent now then back then. News is a bit over-rated since you can hear news and media stories from all over the globe in like 10 minutes :p

    I think there are pros and cons to the internet. I myself cannot imagine a day going by without using it.
    Also I can't think of a time where wealth was so easily accessible to the masses. It's the gold rush of our generation.
