How would your life be different if you were the size of an 7 year old?

Question

Let's say no humans grow any taller, heavier or stronger than a young child, but have conventional adult intelligence.

How would your life be different? Would we kill most dogs due to our own insignificant size and fear of being preyed upon?

Conventional construction for example, would be nearly impossible so perhaps more technical innovations would exist to make up for our physical weakness.

Imagine professional sport? There'd be no sporting elite as we'd all be the same size and ability!

How would you adjust or how would life be different?

But J-Boy: how many parents have dogs 2-3 times their own weight?

construction for example: physical strength would be a fraction of an adult male. Would we use lighter products and risk more more frequent storm damage, or use smarter ways of building equally strong houses?

Answer 1

Well, if wewere born into this world all the same tiny sizy we would have adapted our lifestyles to fit in, I think the technology would still be the same just everything in smaller more moderate size for us to fit in. We would have evolved ourselves.

Answer 2

in reality, most things you mentioned would not be factors. Humans while much smaller would still be able to develope proportional strength, life would be at a much smaller scale so instead of moving a full wheel barrow of concrete you would be moving a mini wheel barrow of concrete, and athletics would not necessarily change either, go watch some seven year olds play soccer or run track, there are clearly some kids that are playing at a higher level than other, in fact life would be exactly the same, now if some sort of change happened in this life where everbody shrunk, that would throw things out of wack a bit, but humans are survivors so I have faith that we would figure it out

Answer 3

Well, I dont think life would be as different as you might think. 1)Many parents with young kids still keep large dogs. 2) Buildings would merely become smaller, imagine doorways only 1m tall, bricks half the size of normal bricks, ie everything just scaled down. 3) Conventional sport could still be played, again just on a smaller scale, people would still have individual talents so not everyone would be equal ability.

I dont think life would be that much different, I mean imagine if everyone on earth was a giant, then began imagining how life would be if everyone grew to only about 6ft tall.... its all a matter of relativity.

Answer 4

size is not a major prob in life so long you know how to live it. i have frens who are midgets and you know what? they lived life to their fullness. they do the same thing what we do and they enjoyed life really. don't think about what others say about you, those who laughed at you are the poor bunch who don't know what real happiness is. happiness is not just about how you look, how you walk... happiness is about how you move on in life.. cheers.

Answer 5

I know I would not have to take the crap this world has to offer.
