What would you do if there was no....?

Question

if there was no....

Computer, Internet, TV, Mobile Phone, Electronics, Electricity? Would you be happier in a way because it would make you more proactive?

...Just like old times.

Answer 1

I wouldn't be able to stop crying. =[ These are the only ways I can communicate with my boyfriend because he lives so far away...

Answer 2

Your question is very technical, are you asking if I am living a life and there was no Computer, Internet, TV, Mobile Phone, Electronics, Electricity then I would have saved a lot of money by not paying bills and would be happier.

But if you take these Computer, Internet, TV, Mobile Phone, Electronics, Electricity from my life at present then I may bang my heads with wall and come to you and will say, hey why did you ask such a question? without these items my life is empty.

Answer 3

Depends.

If everything just vanished all of a sudden, I wouldn't be happier because pretty much everyone would freak out. We are too far along as a species to be able to return to a no-technology era in mass.

If there never was anything electronic then I'd probably be happy in the same way that a person who has never had any friends is happy because he doesn't know what loneliness is like. Ignorance is bliss and all.

Probably though, if there just never was any electronics then I'd be as happy as I am at the moment. You can't be sad about technology vanishing if you never had technology, you dig?

Answer 4

I would have no job if there was not Computer, Internet, or Electricity because those are three things that my job requires to get it done.

I could live without my Cell Phone but then what would I do if my car breaks down and I have my new born baby and my 6 year old in the car???? I'd really wish I had it then.

TV I could live without but I really like to watch the news.. I like to know what is going on around me.

I guess if I had none of those things I'd be the happiest farmer you ever saw, lol.

Answer 5

If I was living off the land, I'd get used to it. I'd be less stressed out, depressed, anxious and exhausted. In the long run, I'd have a more positive outlook on life. I'd be more myself.

But the reality of it is that it wouldn't be good for civilization. There would be depression, famine and violence and total chaos anyway. If I were far far away from the mayhem I'd eventually be OK.

Answer 6

The funny thing about technology is that human beings tend to equate innovative technology with an advancement of the human race. This is a mistake, in a sense.
Though the introduction of technology may make life "easier" in the sense of the exchange of information, transportation, and financial opportunities; it has far from advanced us universally as a species. We still ask the same fundamental questions as we have asked since the dawn of humanity:
Who are we?
How did we get here?
Who is the "author" of nature?
What is our purpose?
What "ought" we to do?
What is "right"?
etc. - etc. - etc.
If anything, technology has distracted us in our quest of these fundamental questions that exist as part of the very being of our nature. It gives us a "false" sense of who we are and keeps are minds occupied and off this goal of mental contemplation. Participation in what defines us as humanity is the greatest good for mankind. You may ask what it is that defines us? Spirituality. Human beings are animals with the ability to paricipate with realms outside the physical world. For example, mathematics. Mathematics do not exist in the "physical" world but only as ideas or TRUTHS that must follow a certain law and pertain to the 3-dimensional, physical world, but do not physically exist here. BUT, it is such non-physical phenomenas such as morality, and contemplation of God that truly define mankind. We are bound to the physical world with are body, but are brought up to the non-physical world by our spirits.... so go on and txt msg, email, youtube, and iphone away, but deny the very essence of oneself.

Answer 7

We would be healthier and thinner. I would take it back a notch as well and get rid of our cars. I wish I lived in a city that I could walk everywhere.

But, I would have a hard time if there were no devices to listen to music. Bring out the Victrola! (Old windup turntable)

Answer 8

I would do my service gardening and all. As I do now but not be able to reach others with the Vedic knowledge as world wide as I can now. Simple living high thinking. Bhagavad Gita as it is asitis.com I love the life of Bhakti

Answer 9

I'd probably goof off at least as much as I do now.

But since I use the Internet to become more informed and to write, I might actually be less productive.

Answer 10

I'd get to reading my books and going cross-country to see my friends and such. I wouldn't be happier because of it. Those things are useful and mentally stimulating.
