Where would society be without the internet?

[TheGr33k]

Withiut internet, we would enjoy the life... It has its pros and cons... Friends far off can talk with each other... On the other hand friends who are in the same room are using internet on their phones instead of talking with each other...

You can enjoy life. No one keeps you glued to the monitor and indoors.

Yep. Exactly. People act like its mandatory to use their computer.

Your guess?

i guess human relations would be better than today.. everyone would respect each other

I doubt this. The internet helped to loose a lot of the normal prejudices we all had.
No longer we are depended on weekly TV magazines to look into the world, and all thats regards to cultures and nations.
Today we even have the possibility to befriend other people all aroun the world despite our nations politcal habits.
Without internet the world be a lot more to worry about.

The world would have gone crazy. still most would have known the value of human love, now its very difficult to find with the one who is sitting next to us.

I cant really imagine this lol.

Honestly though, where would I be without endless entertainment, or free information on blogs and other priceless things. Yeah, its hard to see a world without internet, it would be all back with the printing press to get news etc.

Same here. Trying to figure out my answer to this question but yea I believe I'm absolutely blanked out. Guess without internet, things would be more manual and people would be more productive? That would be my guess.

It depends on several factors like politics and economics. We could assume it would be like the 70s.

The internet certainly has its many advantages but we should not forget the negative aspects of it also, cyber crime is also dependent on the net. Still, I too believe without internet there would be a no modern life.

[criptix]

imho the internet is a technology we can call a singularity.

for the first time in human history we developed a technology that makes us human surpass the border of space and time.

you can think about the implications yourself  x)

[CjMapope]

haha cool thread
where would we be without internet?
who knows, we shaped our modern society around it so it's hard to say where we would be without it ;p
mad maxx style maybe? that's what i see without internet but i was born there so i think im biased ;p

Thanks. Sometimes I think about it only because I use it so much.

ya hey? maybe if we all didn't use it so much we wouldn't miss not having it.
we don't miss quantum computing, we don't have it yet ;p

[jak1]

all kind of online business and trading will stop and a lot of new proffessions. still lot of things will continue to be done just more time we ll need to spend

[eon89]

Just imagine how an e-mail takes a few seconds to arrive at its destination and how many weeks would take for snail mail to do the same.
I think it speaks a lot about where communication would be without internet.

ya communication would grind to a halt as we all felt helpless for a while without the net  haha
but then we would go down to buddies and grab some pigeons and we'd be off 

[yenxz]

Your guess?

if internet not exist from begining of time,maybe this world has been destroyed,war everywhere,and mis understanding everywhere.
if internet gone on middle of century,people will lost their mind,war also gonna happen.

[srinikethan]

it would be down in the gutter.....internet is holding us together...

[Gronthaing]

Not sure it does that. Or that it does it in a very different way to previous technologies. Writing on paper transcends time too. And anyone can look at it and read it. If they have access to it. The internet lets more people do this. But has its limits too. Not everyone has a computer. Much less internet access. But it is the start of a reliable world wide communication system.

[kartel616]

Probably people will have more friends, more relations between them and more knowledge...40 years ago we didn't have internet and everything was working good. Airplanes,companies,trading,post office,banks..all. Internet offers you everything just click away. Before if you need some info you needed to search books,go to library,ask somebody..people were more social..

agreed with this comment, people will have more social contact.

because people focus on people around there and it will make us happier. we will not be in our own world, but in the real world with real people.

Would have been fine so no internet, cable tv or cell phones, then we would have more time to do what was intended for us to do in life.

Doesn't the internet help with that? If you want to meet more people the internet, cell phones, etc help a lot. Without it people were limited to their families, friends and home town maybe. If you want to find out about something, the internet is much better than going to the library, or going to consult an expert in person, maybe in another country. People sometimes get distracted with all the possibilities technology gives them. But overall the benefits are greater than the problems it brings.

[Newmba]

it would be somehwere else

really, it's not big deal, everyone just keep doing his life, with or without cars, internet or whatever

we don't even have teleportation, how are we doing?
