What if the internet did not exist?

Wow, that's a thought for sure. First of all, there would be no social networking! Where would I waste all my free time? On a more practical note, how would I research for papers and projects? Without the internet, I would actually have to use books for all of my research information and that would require me stepping into the library and camping out for hours on end while searching miles of shelves to look for one peice of information. In addition, there would be no email or skype, making communication with family back home or friends around the country restricted to telephone conversations and letters. No longer would I be able to video chat with all my siblings at once or quick share a link from my Facebook page showing the latest picture of my at a nearby county fair.
