If the computer and internet was not invented, what would you be doing right now?

I'd be busy inventing the Internet.

I wonder if you could come up with some sort of "Internet" based off of teletype machines and the telegraph using only technology available up to the 1940s. I would think at least a simple bulletin-board (like a stripped down Chief Delphi) would be possible using TTD machines...
