Internet was getting popular around 2000, can you imaging there is no internet? If you are under 20, you will be more discomfort than peoples who are over 40.
If there is no internet, then newspaper or magazine publishers will have more job opportunities. Writers will have more income from the copyright. Well, famous people will have more privacy? I don’t know, at least, scandals will not be spread so widely and quickly.
If there is no internet, then people will communicate more than on the internet chatting, you may lose connection from your buddies. You have to go to library more to search for information. You have to call airline to confirm tickets, you have to go shopping at mall. Are we thankful we have internet?
