I think life would be better for everyone.

Though I'd have less porn.

BY ORDER OF THE GREATER TROSTIAN REPUBLIC, I HAVE SEIZED COMMAND OF THIS THREAD.

REMAIN CALM AND NO ONE WILL BE HURT.

THAT IS ALL.

lets say by some freak chance or accident the internet had either:

A) neither came to be

B) you never got computer access beyond googling porn at school

what would your life be like? would you be pretty? would you be rich?

I think I'd of ended up working hard at school (:eek:) and becoming a zoologist either that or horrendously killed in some outside accident

You could always partake in watching IRL porn, ie being a peeping tom ;)


That's kind of creepy.

Besides, if I was willing to go through all that effort, I'd probably go the distance and get myself laid instead. :p

I would probably spend more time working, more time socialising with people in person, watch more TV, go out more. I'd probably be more ignorant also.

Creepy is the new fun!

Yes, getting laid...I need to start putting effort towards that :p

I have a hard time believing you haven't already forced yourself upon topiary.

meh, i don't think it would change that much. i only use it to pass time, and to ask my friends when and where we would see eachother next time, and for school. i could do the school stuff in the library, i could talk to my friends IRL, and i could do other stuff to pass the time.

I wouldn't have vaporized my body so that I could become a ghost in the machine. My wife would probably be happier, as well.

I would read more books then I already do, with greater exposure to ideas I wasnt expecting because i couldnt read 1000 reviews of the subject matter before hand for free.

I would also own more CDs but the music would far more homogenized(s/p?) they what my taste is now simply from lack of exposure.

Other then that...it wouldnt be any different at all.
There wasnt an "Internet" when I was in school...so I fecked up my life with out the web aiding in that process.

No you wouldnt, you would simply turn to other distractions, like command and conquer, or worms, or sims, or attomic bomber man.
Either that or you would turn to books.

Well, I wouldn't have my side business for one. So at the moment I'd have $60 less in my pocket.
