Title: what would your life have been without computers and internet?

I think I would have grown up more socially active and would've played more sports.

I'd probably have a lot more cash now.

 of course I might not even have graduated high school without 7 credits of computer related classes (not that I ever really did much with it other than play video games)

I'd be broke and have stacks of printed porn under my bed.

Prolly still be slaving over a hot stove as a first cook (maybe even a chef by now) working for peanuts, instead of comfortably retired after 25 years as a geek 1st class. :D

I'd probably either be a teacher and be dirt poor, or work for an insurance company and be burned out on policy analysis.

I wouldn't have a garage full of scale models waiting to be built.

I wouldn't have a book case full of air combat books and finished models.

I wouldn't have boxes of flight sim manuals.

Before I got heavily into flight sims, I played a lot of sports.  I'm not sure if computers settled me down into a sedentary lifestyle or if it was simply a case of getting older.  I do know that I started doing more flight simming and less volleyball when I got my first computer - a 486DX66 with 8 Mb of RAM and a copy of "Chuck Yeager's Air Combat".

I'll still be a tool and die maker.

During college I would've had to get a part-time job where I would have actually had to work. Instead, I made my money by sitting in front of a computer surfing the net for hours and occasionally helping someone.

A lot more bored typing on this keyboard with nothing to look at, at least I'd still have my joystick. ;)

I'd be rich selling printed porn to Vulcan.
