Life Without Internet

 Being born in 1996 and with much of my life which i can remember after 2000 i have somewhat taken the internet as a given. However this blog post is going to be regarding how everything would be different in the absence of the internt. Lets first look at some of the inportant results of a world devoid of internet.
 The internet has made communication over long distances cheaper and easier. One can easily send a mail rather that talk over the phone which will result in high phone billls or writing letters which is tedious and outmoded. This aspect is one which everyone must have thought of. Another aspect with regar to e-mail or its absence ehich i dont think many people would have thought about is the problem of spam. Right now, with e mail, unwanted mail gets sent to the spam section from where it gets deleted. Any mail which is not actually spam can be sent to your inbox. Now think of a world without internet and therefore without e mail such that all mail is in the form of physical letters. A very large number of letters will be sent to your mailbox, out of which some will be spam. Sorting the spam from the important mails will be a tedious process. Further preventing spam mails from a particular source will involve writing a formal letter to this effect rather that simply clicking the button for preventing further e mails from that source. This will be much more rime consuming.
 Another thing that would be different woild be the abcence of social networkink sites. The main result of this will be that social interaction will be forced to be actual physical interaction as oppossed to digital interactions. Websotes like facebook help most people keep in touch easily even if someone has lots to do. Site such as twitter i feel bridge the gap between celebraties and ordinary people. Therefore in the absence of internet social interaction will become harder and there will be an increase in the the number of social obligations.
 Today the internet is used to listen to music. Without the internet one would have to actually buy cd's as opposed to listening to them on the internet and thos is an expensive affair.
 Other less important results of a world without internet are as follows
1. Girls will not have a platform to express their love for edward cullen
2. Harry potter fans will not have a platform to hate twilight
3. Staliking people will actually require effort
Right so these are just some of the results. Thanks for reading. If ou liked the post follow the blog and do all that good stuff. And if you will please suggest topics for my ext blog post...
