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

I'd be a little less lazy and therefore a little less fat maybe?

But nowa days everything has a computer in it! It is like trying to think what it would be like to live in 1843!!!!

Oh no!!!Bad dream!!!

*wakes up*

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

Before I had a computer in the house and before the Internet became commonplace I read a lot (I still have two or three books going at a time), did a lot of crafts, wrote a lot of letters (by hand) to friends. I had thought of drafting as a career before CAD existed (yes, I learned to do it by hand and loved it), worked in a library where I did know how to file cards in the card catalog, and my current career maintaining websites did not exist. I did not suffer from repetitive stress syndrome, tendonitis in my hands, wrists and elbows. I did not sit at a desk staring at a screen all day.

If there was no internet then somebody in FIRST would probably invent it. But til then I'd be playing with my PS2 and watch way too much TV.

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

After my cable modem got hit by lightening during a bad storm we had Thursday afternoon I got to see what it'd be like without the internet. It gave me a chance to watch tv for two days until I got a new modem earlier today although the tv could never take the place of the computer.

It's good to be back online!

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

There was a time I didn't have a computer or access to the internet.. simply put, that was a very boring time for me. Seriously. Sometimes I worrry about how "stuck" I am, as far as my need for the internet goes. I remember times when the internet would go out at Clarkson for an entire day, and I'd find myself sitting and twiddling my thumbs, wondering what to do to ease the extreme boredom that started to come over me.
