    We still have SMS.

    Before Computers: bank exists, Car industry exist, Life exist , even in major manufacture companies they still relay on workers more then robots to do the job.

    well computers are indispensable these days .. they've become a necessity rather than a luxury .. so I'd absolutely lose a large amount of sanity trying to go back to the old ways .. it would be possible to go back to libraries and look for resources in books again .. it's not a problem .. but the problem is that a lot of the information we have these days have turned digital .. most of up-to-date news reports, articles, essays or even books are published solely on-line these days .. so imagine the havoc the computer ban would create .. we'll have to settle for 20-year-old data while the world of science is advancing day by day, if not by the hour ...

    Maybe those who need it for their work, who are totally dependent on it,sure.

    Or those who are addicted.

    But personally, I wouldn't (of course after having all your numbers).

    I would see more of my kids because they spend so much time on it.

    I would use that time to see more of nature, I would go for a walk near the river (that's not very far from where I live). I would stare more often at the moon....

    See how some women think?

    Ooopps! Back to bootlegging eh,heee, they would have to catch me and take away my Birthday first.

    The whole country would go nuts. That would cause a worldwide case of rape, pilpherage and hate. All of the countries Governments would be overthrown by geeks, and new Governments would emerge.

    hmmmmmm......

    Yes we would because everything would grind to a halt ...we are totally dependant on computers in ALL walks of life , not just personally !

    Think about one facet of modern day living where computers are not involved....businesses are dependant on them , industry , government ...they are used in just about every piece of machinery or technology that is invented out there .

    If you are just talking about pc's for private use , that is bad enough but taken more broadly our society as we know it would not be the same.

    Scarey huh ?

    Absolutely nuts...I think many people are dependant on the computer to get ONLINE mostly.They have lots of online friends and sites of interest to them.Its a good means of communication ...opens up the world.However if there was another device to GET ONLINE,then i'm sure it wouldn't be that bad.

  • For me it should be so uncomfortable, but world wouldnt finish bcoz of it. may be first days I'll be nuts

    I know most of the technology actually depends on computers, but I grown up without them, and survived, so, I think none would die bcoz of that.

    May be, we would have to work more, but work hadnt kill anyone either.

    As Belier said.........if that happens some day, I'll be sure about having all my Yahoo friends' phone numbers

    well I guess Id go back to snail mail....

    I enjoy the instant messaging cause some of my relatives are across the world from me and it keeps me in touch a lot.. but we survived without computer and internet before, we could again.. just have to re learn all over again to do things as before
