Can you imagine our lives without internet?

For approximately 20 years our lives have changed dramatically. This is because as the internet has been included in our daily lifestyle.
We use the Internet to communicate, read news, socialize, learn ;) haha

 

 

So .... How would your life without internet?

Although I have lived many more years of my existence without internet than with it, the internet has become such a routine part of my life that I can't imagine being without it.  

 

Socrates is alleged to have stated the the unexamined life is not worth living.  If Socrates were alive today, he might well have said that a life wihtout internet is not worth living.  Who knows?  If the internet had existed in ancient Greece, Socrates might never have had to drink hemlock and end his life prematurely.

The main disadvantage is a shorter attention span and time wasted by trivial information and people. The work day has also increased in many professions since 24 hour communication is now easily possible.

Hello, Marcelo.  Perhaps I was about your age 20 years ago, just immediately before Al Gore took the initiative to create the Internet.  I can still remember how difficult life really was without the Internet.  I physically had to pick up my paycheck at work and then take it to the bank for it to be deposited into my bank account.  I also ocassionally went to this place called the library where I had to sort through these objects called books, which were made of paper and ink, to find the information I needed for writing research papers and essay assignments.  There were even some few times when I got a nasty paper cut doing this.  But I was a tough guy, so I never complained about this.  Probably the worst thing about life before the Internet was when parents found the hiding place for their son's porno mags and then these "dirty" magazines were tossed away like garbage into the trash.   :(

It would be okay because I spend a lot of time with friends, playing sports, and creating experiences. Anyways, I go to school so I spend 8 hours without the internet every weekday!

Yes, I can imagine it. It will be the same as it was before the Internet.
