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..

Indeed. How do you feel about actually finding information quickly though? Do you believe people in your development would know a certain amount of info than somebody perhaps 1000 miles away? I'm not saying you're wrong. Just asking what you feel about the specific question.

The internet has made my life as a graduate student so much easier. Research takes about a tenth as long as it did when we had to sit in the library and dig books off of shelves. Now I can just look up articles and download the pdf!
However I think the internet has also made people nastier in general. It makes me sick to see some of the comments people put on the internet while they hide behind their electronic veil. It is easier to stalk people (facebook, anyone?) and to ruin someone's life (identity theft, hacking).

Society wouldn't be the same without the internet, but I think we would be fine. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if infrastructure crumbled and we had to go back to small societies and self-sufficiency.

Most people can't anymore without Internet. Also the most companies and government expect also you have internet at your home. Even schools expect you have Internet at home.

OP would have to find some other outlet for trolling, but other than that the world would continue to spin on its axis and we'd survive.  Information flow would be a lot slower, that's one of the big differences between today and the pre-internet world.  It's so easy to get information about anything, and it's one of the things I love about the internet.

However I think the internet has also made people nastier in general. It makes me sick to see some of the comments people put on the internet while they hide behind their electronic veil.

Anonymity makes it easier to make comments people wouldn't do in person. Or when everyone knows who they are. Don't think that is a bad thing though. People can be nasty. Not being able to say nasty things won't change that. Or what they do when they think they can get away with it. So it's better if everyone knows about it. And can interact with those people in the open and maybe try to change their minds.

OP would have to find some other outlet for trolling, but other than that the world would continue to spin on its axis and we'd survive.  Information flow would be a lot slower, that's one of the big differences between today and the pre-internet world.  It's so easy to get information about anything, and it's one of the things I love about the internet.

We would probably be in ww3 by now without the internet. Or some other way for people to inform themselves.

people will meet and talk instead of using places like this

People can do that now too. Without the internet we would use the phone instead. Or other convenient way unless we really wanted to meet others in person.

Yeah, definitely. I do believe the internet is to blame here and there for antisocial behavior, and social anxiety. Growing up, I was really use to being behind the PC. When I hit a certain age though, I got to be more social.

Exactly how it was before the internet. Ugly, sad and grey. The internet is a beautiful tool for learning and communication. That's how I imagine the library of Alexandria to have been.

Lol! Do we have the same internet? xD

The internet is ful of everything, best and worst, but mostly useless crap and insignificant amount of true innovation, that it's be in communication or learning!
But I love it.
Probably because I'm part of this crap...
