    Wouldn't affect me much. My internet life is only slightly less boring than my real life.

    it would be just like pre Internet. well besides the who systems down *kitten* and markets not being able to talk to each other.

    the world would get smaller! and maybe that's a good thing. People would have to go visit places as apposed to reading a wiki...

    i think the worst part would be not being able to know how much carbs sugar, protein and other important things and i know calculating the calories would take forever

    People would lose weight. Teenage boys would suffer muscle loss in their right arms, though.

    so people were skinner back then?

    There are two active threads over in the debate forum right now about how much easier it was to be in the '80s because life wasn't as convenient then, so people had to walk around to know stuff. I don't know how old you were, but there used to be this building full of books and you'd have to find a specific one to know the answer to a question. Nowadays you take your phone out of your pocket and ask it.

    Have you ever seen TV shows from a few decades ago? People were definitely skinnier back then.

    I cherish IMDB for when I'm watching telly and vaguely recognise an actor from something I watched 20 years ago. Relying on my increasingly hazy memory would be so much more painful.

    Try writing with a pen or pencil in a diary. Mark dates off with an X on a calendar hanging on the wall.

    Internet doesn't make pizza. A real person does.

    Yes. They did a lot more physical activity, instead of always sitting with a screen and keyboard.

    Your enemies wouldn't have internet either, so you'd be evenly matched.
