    Without internet game developers would have to finish the game properly before selling it to people.
  2. We'd still be typing in long code examples from magazines instead of downloading them from a website. Remember those code examples that covered multiple pages?? :)

    A-holes like Mark Zuckerberg wouldnt be billionares & off course i would toast doing my college assignments without google books which i consider to be one of the biggest copyright breach in history, yup words of a hypocrite.

    Perhaps it would be a similar dynamic to that which occurs in human interaction. You can't actually miss somebody you've never met.
  8. Without the Internet I would have never wrote this, neither would anyone have read it.
  9. Instead of point and click......We would open and flip
  10. I would have passed grade 8 math because I wouldn't have blown off homework to play Diablo.

    Since we're well into hypothetical absurdity, what if we never figured out fire?

    What if we couldn't figure out what to do with that thing on men?

    I'd still be downloading my porn from a BBS at 56kbps (well 52k in Canada).

    Then arguably, the species that arose after we died out, will have had to have had their forensic anthropologists laughing their heads off at every archeological dig site on the planet. The scary part is, that many women know what it's for, but opt for alternatives.

    Speaking of which, I just lost an erection trying to figure out the mood and tense of that verb sequence. Ow, my head hurts. I think it's correct for the species that comes after the next species.....:confused:
    God, can you imagine? 1000 pixel images would seem huge and take forever.

    I'd have to stand on a street corner holding a sign that said, "YOU'RE WRONG!"

    We'd probably have thousands of CDs and DVDs of stuff, like I used to have years ago. And I'd be spending less time sitting on my ***.

    I'd still have a library card.
