I'd build a hut somewhere and live a self-sustained life, growing my own vegetables and carving wooden sculptures with my toenails.

Once I've finished doing that, I'd clean myself up a bit and pitch local businesses and sell them my design services for catalogs, business cards, leaflets etc.

Mark Brian · 08-10-2008, 05:15 AM

Since my actual "day job" profession is a Web developer, I don't know what I would be if not for the internet but I could've been an architect or just happily bumming around with my parents forever

Mary Gallivan · 08-10-2008, 05:51 AM

Hi

What a horrible thought - No Internet??

As I can't go out to work I'd probably work at home. I've done many things in my long years but the one I can do from home is to teach English to speakers of other languages (ESOL).

Otherwise, I'd sit reading in a spotless home. My house seems to gather dust while I'm at the computer :-(

Tim Franklin · 08-10-2008, 06:05 AM

I expect I would be in a gutter somewhere, LOL,

or perhaps in a straight jacket with padded walls.

JayXtreme · 08-10-2008, 06:21 AM

I'd do offline advertising for local businesses..

Tim,

Does that mean you were there before the internet
was public? And they let you out?

Take Care,

Michael Silvester

P.S I'd still be running several offline businesses

myob · 08-10-2008, 11:04 AM

I don't use the internet much. I'm too busy making sales calls.

Yes, they did let me out, after making me promise to stop talking about programming, as it was driving them crazy...

jensrsa · 08-10-2008, 11:11 AM

Probably still selling insurance - Yuck!

TG the Internet came along and saved me!

Jens

SpeedDemon · 08-10-2008, 11:12 AM

Hmm...since I'm old enough to remember what I did before the Internet, let me think back...

I'd probably watch a lot more TV or play Xbox, wouldn't have met a lot of the cool people I know now, and would be back working in an office somewhere...*shudder*.

It took me awhile to really get into the Internet when everyone else did (I wasn't really into porn or shopping), but now I love it. I realized how much a part of my life it's become on a recent trip when I just HAD to find a wifi spot everywhere I went.

Richard Odell · 08-10-2008, 11:14 AM

I would hitting the mailing lists and doing it all over again by direct mail...[8D]

Amino Zawawi · 08-10-2008, 11:14 AM

I'd be on the beach hosting a private radio show, selling ad spots for the local villagers and working on my next project.

George Wright · 08-10-2008, 11:17 AM

Hi,

Before I got hooked on the Internet I was in the process of setting up networks of voice mail systems where different merchants put voice ads on their line. All of the voice mailboxes were connected.

Press 1 for Carpet cleaning, Press 2 for restaurants, press 3 etc.

The phone buttons were linked to the merchant. It was like a web.

Hey, maybe I would invent the Internet. Too bad Al Gore beat me to it.

George Wright

BIG Mike · 08-10-2008, 11:24 AM

Since I'm technically retired, I'd probably spend my days at the beach drinking beer - oh wait a minute - I do that now

Dvgeoster · 08-10-2008, 02:01 PM

5 years working for almost nothing learning off top successful businesmen then work as a consultant untill I can retire to working to teach other the experiance.

Kim Standerline · 08-10-2008, 02:07 PM

My house would probably be a lot cleaner, I'd probably watch a lot more TV

Gosh I have no idea

To be perfectly honest...

I would absolutely hate even starting to think about it!

GEEZ!

JamesW · 08-11-2008, 04:41 AM

I can't even begin to imagine where I would be without the internet. I do have a degree in Accounting and Finance, albeit a 2:2, but I spent 2 years applying unsuccessfully for jobs so I would probably be in some low-paid job somewhere.

It was back then that I started getting into betting exchanges which is where I really started making some money. Then I started investing in shares and trading forex, all of which is done online. I'm just thankful I'm living in the internet age as I now have a very comfortable lifestyle thanks to the internet.

viktor · 08-11-2008, 05:47 AM

Selling information reports by mail.

strauss · 08-11-2008, 06:14 AM

It's hard to imagine life without internet. No more mails, no chatting and no access to endless information. I would just continue with my life and look for other ways to stay connected. Start going to libraries and read about the internet in history books. I think nothing can replace the internet.

yuyuan · 08-11-2008, 06:19 AM

I think most probably i will be a student in university, studying IT and developing programmes for others. Gosh, can't imagine this happening......

Patty Gale · 08-11-2008, 07:58 AM

Interesting topic. Before I turned to the internet to work from home, I was a securities trader in a typical 9-5 job...

If there were no internet, though, I would be a personal fitness trainer. I studied and got my personal trainer certification and membership through ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) and that was going to be my way out of my corporate job. I had started to build a client base and then the internet came along and I was hooked.
