What would you be doing if the Internet didn't exist?

I was at the tennis court if internet doesnt exist.

I got so used to net these days that i cannot imagine being without it.But ofcourse like u said i would be doing my house work regularly, do a bet of exersice instead of being a couch potato,getting involved in some creative work.But then i would not have been able to meet so many people and have a platfom to share new ideas and hear opinions from u guys...

I would definitely be reading lots and lots of books. I love to read books, such as novel and short stories. I know it is kind of hard to imagine our life without internt. But without internet also we would do fine, with reading newspaper, books, watching TV etc. But now as we spend more and more time with internet, all other activites are getting less and less time from us. Good to know that you are a writer. Good Luck and happy writing!

For starters I would have read a lot more books, and would probably be in the middle of writing another one. I'd would get a little more exercise also, but I try and take care of that area by swimming three times a week. Have you had any of your romantic novels published? Finally, if I wasn't writibg this to you right now I would be taking a nap for sure.

If internet does not exist. I was taking a nap now.

i would be watching a lot of television and maybe goin out with friends like a chav, so i guss its very good thing.

The internet is a wonderful way to meet new people, learn about different cultures and customs and make some friends that we would not normally know. It has changed the way we live in so many ways, but for some people it actually does take over their life and becomes their life. So far I haven't reached that stage, thankfully although I do know of a couple of people who have. The one thing I have made sure is that I still make time for every day things, like spending time with the family and friends. Reading every day for a while, doing some embroidery, although I do have to admit that I need new glasses to do the really fine needlework. There are the usual things of course, like housework but my husband and I share that so it isn't so bad. More than anything I spend time with our son, when he is not at work that is. I usually wait up till he gets home as he has been working some very "anti-social" hours, but he often wants to talk for a while after getting home and while having his meal. I might spend some time online while waiting for him, but generally I will read because I can see that if I started being on the internet all the time, it could become very much a bad habit. :)

I remember I used to have more time for things like crafts, cross stitching, cooking. Now I find that the internet is my social outlet and I am lost if I don't log on for a few days

Wow, great question! All I know is that I'd have SO mcuh free time and have to find something to do with it. I started getting into movies big time because of the internet so if I didn't have that I probabaly wouldn't love moies like I do now so life might be pretty boring. Not to mention the wonderful friends I've met online.

Bunny2, I may be the only one stumped by this question. I cannot come up with an answer because I simply cannot imagine what I would be doing if the Internet didn't exist. I know it should sound crazy, but I've been on the Internet for so long, I just don't know what I would do without it:)

I love the internet. You have to be careful but that goes with anything you do. I don't know what I'd be doing if I didn't have the net... !!HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Great to see someone who can spell for a change, personally I can't handle text writing. I wanted to write novels but have never got around to it. I suppose really instead of spending numerous amounts of time on the internet I could have written a few novels. I had to give up my job because of numerous operations so I needed to find something else to do, so I have a few on line jobs that keep me occupied and I do all my banking etc over the internet and absolutely love it, so for me I really don't know what I would do but I suppose we wouldn't know what we were missing because it wouldn't exist.

I would probably be doing more housework, reading and knitting. I know one thing I would certainly be doing - that is paying much higher telephone bills. Since I spend about 6 months of the year in the UK away from my home in the USA I use the internet to keep in touch with my children and grandchildren on a daily basis. Can you imagine what a phone call to 9 different people every day would cost me. Thank heaven for the internet.

Without the internet, i wont be able to communicate regularly with my long time friends anymore. I would still need to use books to research on something.

I would be reading more maybe visit the library more often, always be watching tv and texting in a ridiculous rate.I think i'll survive...lol...

yah internet is very essential now a days...without internet we will be again in the olden days...where we will waste so much of valuable time in doing personal needs like shopping, banking, work.. etc...also flirting, romance... IN MY OPINION 'WITHOUT INTERNET MEANS, THE LIFE OF A FISH WITHOUT WATER'

I'd probably be an author, by default, since I'd have read every book in the library. I actually wanted to be a writer, but discovered this little toy, and all is lost. ;~( I think its made me lazier and more stupid.

Oh wow..great question. What was I doing before the internet? I was raising a family for one thing. I worked using the old fashioned method of keeping books in a ledger, and paying bills with snail mail. I read more. I wrote letters more. I gardened more. I spent alot of time with my kids. But now I'm alone, so if my internet suddenly disappeared (like it did for 2 weeks during the recent ice storm in this area), I'd be missing it alot for a few days..pacing the floor and sitting and wondering what I'm going to do with myself..then gradually I'd get into more creative projects, like my jewelry making, and cooking for people, and just take up my old fashioned ways of communicating with people..talking on the phone, or visiting with, or writing letters and so on. To be sure I do love my laptop..but it isn't the be all and end all of my life. I would be fine without it. Right now if I weren't doing this...I'd be baking cookies for my grown up kids. Or I'd be cleaning my apartment. Or reading my "So You Want to Write" book. I think I'm too dependant on the Internet for my learning and finding relationships and my fun. Although...my typing has really improved alot, and, as I'm self-taught on how to get around on the computer, I was able to find a decent job. So I'm not complaining at all. I do love my computer and the internet.

Reading and going to the library more I bet. I think I would be lost with out the computer I have had the internet since 1988, then is was $60.00 to to download a centipede game from Las Vegas!

nothing will change . there is another substitute for everything. what was the diff. when net wa not there. everything was accordingly managed. what will happen when there is no male , then female will have female or doggy. when there is no female then male will have male n goat, simple.
