This is hard one it really is

Well at least for me and I have a very active imagination yet still....


What would the world be like right now if there were no computers? If that simply wasn't...a thing.


As a child of the 80's I do remember a time this world was way more analog than it is now however the foreshadowing was rich even back then, at the cusp of the wave.


Now here we are. Not even an incoming age of technology anymore, that Baby is here.


So can you even imagine what life would be like if life didn't get so, digital? I am not sure I can.


I mean, would this space cease to exist? I guess by virtual of this design haha, yes!



What else tho? :+

Since I lived in a world of no computers life was much less complicated and there was no sense of urgency. Why? Because by the time we learned of the urgency it was usually long over. Bills were received and paid via the postal system. You had to go to banks to deposit your pay checks and receive cash. You kept sufficient cash on you to pay for all of daily needs. Credit cards were available and you could use them but proof of your purchase was made by a manually operated imprinter that you signed and got a carbon copy receipt of it.

Definitely different definitely slower lifestyle

You just actually reminded me that the USPS is supposed to go out of business end of this year. Like mail is not going to be a thing anymore. I cannot even fathom this.

Wait til you see unemployment numbers come next year and 28 as AI comes more on line.

And the Silver Ion batteries coming on line for cars 9 minutes to charge and they last 20 years +. Plus Silver can not catch fire like the Lithium ones.

Did anyone buy the Silver dip over the weekend ?

^i wonder if no computers would affect the growing of population. Since there would be less or limited communications. Therefore less people meeting one another

To OP, you should watch The Pitt season 2 to see what happens when a hospital ER goes analog after a ransomware attack.

To Wicked Witch, if there were a sudden switch back to analog, it would be chaotic. However, people would become a commodity, used to gather and process data. All types of businesses and organizations would depend on people. People with strong leadership and efficiency skills would be highly sought after.

Oops, I should've said "pre-analog" because there are analog computers that use 1's and 0's to operate.

I would still have been doing math calculations using a slide rule.
Come to think of it, that was how Project Apollo was designed! Not to mention every aircraft in WWII.
