Yes I will read more novels,and watch movies and I will enjoy time with my friends.I know it is not good for me because without internet we something miss in our lives like we can't check out our emails and many more things happens in internet so we can pray for life with internet.

Hi there! =) Good day to you kpatel94! I will feel miserable if the internet has not been discovered, Internet helps how to span the globe, it is a distributed system. and Internet is okay because no one runs it. !

The world would be COMPLETELY different! We would probably just be like the olden days when people did usefull things in their free time like write, read, and take care of animals. Unlike today's children, they would probably be a lot more active and not obese. IT is very hard to image, but i think that it is possible that no internet could ultimatly make the world a better place.

there was a time when there was no internet yet and people seem to find something else to do. of course, i could not imagine my life now without internet. but if we return to the time when there was no internet yet, i'll probably spend my time reading books, watching television and chatting over the phone. but oh so tough, i don't want that to happen... not having internet.

I lived many years without internet, but now that I have it I'd hate to have to do without it again. It has changed the way people live life and has moved us one step further from spending our time socializing with others in person.

We lived without it for many many years, and although there'd be alot of complaining about it, we could do without it again... we'd just have to go back to PAPER!!!

Well, it would be hard yes. But if the internet was not discovered then I'm sure we wouldn't even know about the internet, and then there wouldn't even be a problem. :) But yes I am glad that the internet has been discovered because it is so entertaining with all these websites, and great ways to make money by just being online, and even BUYING things online. Internet has so many things now, that it evens comes on mobile phones! If there was no interent, I guess I would do what everyone else was doing!

I can't even imagine my life without internet because for every need we can depend on internet and internet is playing a vital role in todays world. I fell that internet is the excellent creation of man's mind.

I would be very sad and gloomy and don't really know what to do. I know that i ma going to miss all the movies that i download and also all my online friends and especially mylot. I log-on to the internet for at least like 3 - 4 hours a day. And i don't think i can live without it.

Yes it is possible but considering the growth of internet nowadays, it will be very hard. In general, no internet means we will have a conventional way of exchanging information. The email will be back to letter. The online newspaper will change to paper-based newspaper and soon. Though it is hard, it is still possible to live without internet.

it may not seem possible to live without the internet but, years ago there was no internet. So im pretty sure people would figure something else out to do. when i can get online, i mostly read and write.

I'd be much poorer. Most of my independent income comes, in some way, from the net. I would also be much less connected with the people who keep me sane. I live far away from most of my true friends so emails and facebook really help me stay connected. I follow politics all throughout the world on the internet. I would know what much less about what was happening in the world if not for the internet.

of course, it is very much possible to have the world we live in without internet. but not the way it is now. internet makes everything easy and fast. but we can still have the world without internet.

I would be like how I was before the internet generation came in. I'd do a lot of things outside and talk to my friends face-to-face, I'd even have more time for leisurely walks or taking up hobbies of some sort instead of sitting down in front of the pc for most of my alone time. Don't get me wrong, though there are advantages to the invention of the internet, it has it's downside as well. I guess like T.V., technology has gotten us a little bit more lazier than usual and lesser creative. Remember the time when people would gather around and just talk tales? Nobody does that anymore. We'd rather watch movies than create our own imagination.

I dont there could have been a better alternative for internet. Witout internet, people would be reading newspapers, send postal mails, use fax, phone, etc but ofcourse it would be more time consuming and not less easier as doing it from inernet
