You're putting yourself at a very big disadvantage.

If you lose your job are you driving to 10 different employers?

If you wanted to start a business how will you advertise it? How will you compete with other businesses?

If someone empties your bank account how will you know?

Most office environments requiring checking email, how will you do that?
Is it me myself or is it everyone?

I’d easily say the internet too because I remember life without it and it was overall better if we keeping it a band :ehh:

It’s made things better financially far as online banking etc. Plus things like google maps and you can even include streaming services even tho you can argue that watered down entertainment as well.

It wouldn’t be easy to give all that up :hubie:

But life in general was better before the internet or even the early days of it was cool when main ones online was nerds and hip hop heads text battling and discussing bars/hip hop news.

FB opening registration to all was the beginning of the end, internet wasn’t even all that problematic prior to that other than the effect it had on music industry sales :francis:

You use to be able to do all these things without the internet bruh :gucci:except working from home/crypto . You gotta be young af life existed before the internet

So you'd drive to the bank twice a week to check your statement?

You would drive to 10 different employers to apply for jobs?

If you started a business, how would you fair against other business with internet access?

Internet results in 10 seconds:

Valuable information about stocks, options, and real estate.

Online forums full of experts of different subjects

Videos showing step by step how to make repairs

Look at 15 job descriptions with salary

How do you think Amazon and Walmart got so big? You think they'd still be here with no internet compared to other businesses?

Realistically ain’t nobody going without any of those :stopitslime:

Even y’all who nonchalantly said modern entertainment are full of it, that would include a lot of the things you like most about the internet.

Now if OP changed “The Internet” with “Social Media”, this would be easy :mjgrin:

Really everyone would be better off of there were no such thing as social media :sas2:

Yea this guy is 28/30 or less :pachaha:

Do you think Amazon would have gotten as big a competitor as it is without the internet?

If you don't have the internet you're putting yourself at a disadvantage. By the time you drive 30 minutes to one employer I've already applied to 6.

Coli Brehs pretending they could live without internet.

From the list, I guess plumbing would be the most realistic to live without.

Whoever says transportation is truly buggin. The crux of modern living is the fact that you can go 100 miles in a couple of hours. It's a time machine. On foot it takes a couple days. On a bike it would take like a whole 8 hour work day.

This ability to travel at speed (travel and freight) is what created the modern world. And. Moving information at light speed is also part of this time travel aspect.
