What would you do if all the computer devices in the world suddenly disappeared. This also means there is no Internet, no video games, no Minecraft, no PMC, no twitter / facebook / imgur / stumble upon / google+ etc..

Mind you, that I'm talking about computer devices, not just computers. This means there also aren't any smartphones, iPads, iPods, Microwave ovens etc...

As for me, I would probably go to a library, dig up some ancient schematic books and start soldering on some nifty electronic circuits. I would also probably get my old transistor radio transmitters to fix them up and use them to communicate with other people nearby and far away. I'd probably be more outside too..

What would you do ?

I would play minecraft in real life and make plastic boxes where I put sand and dirt and stone in, then build huge castles with it.

Die, pretty much.

Industrialization and technology are the only things worth living for.

Pollution, corruption, and destruction are the only good things in life.

Just kidding. I'd probably invent the internet if that happened.

If computers and the internet and everything just disappeared right now, everything would actually just start to come back almost instantly because everyone would be used to computers, and computer manufacturers would keep making computers and in a couple years everything would be back to what it is now. Everything would be wiped though. We would be starting with fresh programs and all websites would have to start over. Think of YouTube for example. There are billions of videos on there. If they were to start over from scratch then 1) The site would be completely blank, and 2) they would prob be forced to make a different layout. The current one sucks. So basically if everything disappeared it would all come back in a few years, but we would get a completely fresh start in the internet and computers and possibly recreate the internet to be a better place as well.

But anyway to answer the question, I would go over to my gf's house a lot more. We usually talk over skype but that would no longer be an option. I would also go outside a lot more and do a lot more stuff instead of programming.

Judging by your spelling I would highly doubt that you will be able to build a computer So you go to collage indeed and study English first


A collage is a collection of picture, how would you study English with a collection of pictures? I think you want the word college.


You're right, fixed it in the original post, thanks for correcting me

I'm still learning English as it is not my native language.

Without computers or the internet no one would know what their life would be like, Computers and electronics have changed many things and made a huge amount of scientific developments - planes, helicopters, radar, submarines, none of these would work meaning to travel from country to country you'd need wooden ships, which would probably mean pirates would still exist, like proper "Shiver me timbers" pirates.

I know for certain I would not be alive without computers as at birth I had to be put into an incubator...

And to find out what it would be like then I guess one of you lot who really care should make an inter-dimension traveler and then go and find out... Be careful though there's is that world for of human eating bunny rabbits - just a warning.

Well I guess I might just lead a healthy productive life; find a smart girl, learn all about her and spend the rest of our energy making some new smart people..

Like they used to before they had the means to produce what are potencially far more powerful agents of coltures implementation... Programs.

Hey Elycin, good-luck getting into C # and ++ you'll have a lot of applicability once you pick those up : )

Build a processor with whatever remains... or die trying.

Hehe Ofcoarse that's not really true.


I would start organising units of cultural inheritance within whatever realm provides the highest fidelity of replication... I guess thats what they call non-computer computer science.

If you think about this hard enough you will notice that if we had no computers at all, we would die of starvation because the companies who make the snacks and junk food wouldn't have their machines to make their products. And we would have no refrigerators to keep our meat and poultry sanitized and chilled.

Also we'd have no weapons no nothing.
