If the internet hadn't been invented what would you be doing now?

    Do you ever think about what you'd be doing if the internet hadn't been invented? I wonder if I'd be better or worse off. I reckon I wouldn't be working for myself without it but I'd be far fitter - I wouldn't be sitting here for a start. What would you be doing?

    I would still be an R & D engineer working day and night on projects that never seemed to be able to work :)

    I thought we'd all be out enjoying a walk in the countryside or at the pub.

    Think about not having telephones either! Without internet and telephone I'd be working in a factory or on the land.

    I'm okay without a phone (I have social anxiety). The internet is my place. It's the only place where I feel comfortable.

    Thinking about this specifically worries me. To get over it i've concluded that I'd be more productive but for someone else other than myself.

    I thought there would be more like you. Please answer the question: What do you think you'd be doing without the internet?

    Thinking about this, there were a few people who went around bare foot in the 70s. You don't seem to see them anymore (at least where I live) - could it be they are all heavy internet users?
