What the world would be like if the Internet didn't exist.

Do you think companies could survive in this current climate?

Would you be able to do the job your doing without it?

Would we be worse off or better?

Coped before the internet existed, but how would the generation of today cope ? Reckon it would be like the scene from Ice Age with the Dodo’s jumping of the clif

Everything worked fine before it, if spoons didn’t exist that would be another matter.

iphone/pc and the young.

or

being out and about meeting friends playing in the woods, fields (usually farmers) building camps and lighting camp fires.

Fishing in the local stream usually with us all soaked through splashing about in the water.

Wondering for miles along country lanes for no particular reason.

Building your first treehouse with your best friends.

Breaking your first bone

Discovering girls and all the fun that could be had with teasing them, that soon stopped with your first game of kiss chase

Washing daily, who knew that this was so important, mums always right

Buying your own cloths without mum saying, you aint wearing that. Ok that still goes on.

Bars and beer without people IDing you, unbelievable compared to today, 15 we were in the pubs being good or we would be slapped by somebody

learning that you could indeed out run/smart the police, now the world was our oyster

Courting and petting at the swimming pools, we would travel miles for nthe local lido

Discovering statistics and that in the end the law did curiously catch up no matter how smart or fast you thought you were.

The internet has ruined so much, especially rights of passage, that phrase has passed into the ether now.

I loved my childhood and youth without the internet, but love the convenience of it now as an adult.

Age restrict the internet, over 16 only.

Maybe people would go out more. Meet other people and find out about them in the real world rather than just filtering out others who don't tick the right boxes in some online ethereal pixel paradise...

Maybe screens and pixels give us opportunities but how many do they take away...

My job would be okish I think, my actual job wouldn’t be effected at all but all the admin side sending emails and the like would have taken a lot longer to sort stuff out if it was done through post.

I do wonder sometimes what we would all be doing now if the internet hadn’t of been invented! Shops would still thrive, postman would always be busy and people would probably talk a lot more too.

Agree

Get off the plane on holiday or go into any restaurant.

First thing folks do is hop on the internet.

How nice would the world be without the selfie.

I do miss the High Street, being full of shops, now it has boarded up memories

I'm not a techno fan at all, but understand this day and age most jobs depend on it.

Here's a couple of question's for you:

Do you think more people are/will be wearing glasses?

Are we complaining of back backs more from the way we sit/use technology?

Pretty easy to answer if your 40 plus... I'd say most of us didn't get a laptop until around 2005 or so and nearly all work went ok without it.

Thing what I find is that people are or have lost interpersonal relationships,

When was the last time you called for someone,and how well do you actually know them?

Life was much better without it.. Can switch it off for me

Our business runs on tech

It's keeping up with its advances that we struggle with at times.

They are always changing stuff or as they call it "bug fixing".

Can cause no end of problems but we move with it so all good.

No more work slavery at home at night with emails at ludicrous hours.

No more google knowing more about your shopping habits than you do.

But what about porn?

The vhs machines would make a revival, and the sneaky door in the video shop which lead to adult material could be reopened.

Porn mags would give you an incentive to visit the local newsagent, pretending to be looking at the mags next to them.

Ah the Cider with Rosie world would resurface like the phoenix.

I wouldn't miss it except for chatting with you fine people . I remember when I was 16 . Getting £5 pocket money in a Saturday and going to the local offie. Used to get 10 Lambert and Butler , A bottle of Thunderbird and a packet of McCoys crisps for 4.99 . Then me and my mates used to walk 3 miles and actually go and meet girls and talk to them in person !! I miss those days

I’d probably be able to do my job better without it. I work with children and technology is a big deal (and rightly so). However, they aren’t allowed their phone, so the older children lash out because they are bored (we take up to 12 year olds). Also they come in tired as they have been up all night playing on their Xbox or whatever. When they come in they don’t want to play outside, they want to play on the consoles or on the computer

With out the internet,how would anonymous dick pics be sent?

Would there be loads of guys standing behind fences in dark alleyways,poking it through a hole? Or going to Boots to have the pics developed and then sending it by post?

Maybe,at some point during the process,it may start to seem like less of a good idea.

Swingers Chat Forum was mostly fields and the meets/events section was a toilet door.

I think the internet is a great assett to life. The trick is to use it rather than let it use you.

Don't forget that without the net you wouldn't be here complaining about it
