Have you ever thought what your life would be without internet?

Life would be unimaginably different, like I have NO clue what my life would be like. Majority of my day is spent on the Internet, especially with the coronavirus being existent lol.

I grew up in the 70’s where internet was light years away. It didn’t exist and you can’t miss what you never had. I could live without it today, there are other ways to keep abreast of world events like television and newspapers. Internet can be beneficial and educational but also destructive and I feel a lot of societal issues would be reduced without it.

I would get lost a lot more without GPS.

I can't even imagine if I'd even be alive without the internet.

i would be very studious. I remember when i was in middle school i lost my phone. And so for a week i didn't have any access to internet at all. I spent the majority of my day just studying.

• I would be more bored
• I would've saved money cause I never would've found stuff I like
• I might never evolved a personal taste in music, fashion,...
• People would constantly tell me I need wifi for this and that
• It would be very hard to find adresses and telephonenumbers in a new place or just in general, for example when you need to find a doctor you never been to and don't know the adress or telephonenumber of them
• If you go somewhere and might feel getting lost, it would suck if you can't ask someone for directions, thanks that google maps exist
• If you wouldn't have wifi and you get forced to do some stuff online that you might can't skip than it would suck to tell everyone "I can't, I have no wifi" and they might don't belive you cause how should they even know your home?
• Reading a lot usefull and maybe even hourly updated news, especially in this time where you allways need to know for example what kind of restrictions you got to go outside or if it got lifted etc.

There are so many benefits you have when using the internet and I don't like to be like a old grandma who spends her day by sitting at the TV only ...

Pretty much the same, since i barely use it and still do the same as I use to do growing up. Half the time I don't know whats going on with the Internet anyway.

My teen years was without internet. It was fine. Just the scale and speed would be different. Instead of having the whole world at your fingerprints, I'd be more confined to local stuff. Otherwise, I don't think much would change as I don't use lot of social media tools, just a handful. I think most of my shopping is still done locally. Most of my relationship with people wouldn't be changed that much as I'm still a face to face kinda person.

For anime without internet, I'd go back to mailing fansub groups and trading materials and be more dependent on conventions as well. In this case I'd need to interact with people on more face to face basis than just login in and download a torrent. Importing very specific things (like soundtrack of games/anime) from Japan would be a hassle.

In the future kids will say "Can you imagine life without neuronet?I can't imagine typing or using voice interface to interact! Imagine not being able to share the hivemind or enter other people's heads!"

My life would be better, I probably wouldn't have mental struggles. I would be happy, the internet has taken over my life. I hate it.

I use the Internet for a lot of things. Navigation, studying and quickly finding movies or series to watch.

It saves a lot of time and there's a wealth of information available whenever we need it, which is absolutely amazing and it's been invaluable many times in my life.

However, I also firmly believe that there are aspects of the internet that we would be better off without. Like social media (facebook, twitter, Instagram, tiktok). That stuff just isn't good for anyone's mental health and I personally stopped using social media entirely 3 years ago.
