Ocean liners were very soon replaced by commercial airlines anyways. Yes, there are still cruise ships, but they do not cross the ocean, they just go from island to island and anchor in carribean ports.
The big ocean-crossing ships were practically obsolete already in other words.
Just like the dangerous beheamoth zeppelins that were better known for killing many many people than for safely transporting them...
Had the titanic not sank, nothing would have been discernably different, unless there was hitler's twin on board or something.

Pretty much the same. My personal quality of life would be much better for never having that awful Celine Dion song stuck in my head. As a society, the Titanic thing was a blip. A fascinating blip, but one that didn't ultimately change the course of history. For the individuals involved, life would be a hell of a lot different, of course, but not for most of us.
Wikipedia does say that the disaster changed ship design and maritime culture, but the things they talk about sound like changes that would eventually have to be made anyway. At some point or another, another ship would've met with disaster, encouraging the safety changes. The Titanic probably ultimately only prevented a similar tragedy from happening later.

substantial article: Sinking of the RMS vast image of an iceberg in the area of the RMS vast’s sinking taken on April 15, 1912 by the administrative steward of the lining Prinze Adelbert.on the night of 14 April/15 April 1912 the vast struck an iceberg and sank, with great death.[9] the US Senate study reported that a million,517[10] people perished in the twist of destiny, on a similar time as the British study has the quantity at a million,490.[11] Regardless, the disaster ranks as between the worst peacetime maritime mess ups in historic previous and by some distance the suitable usual. The media frenzy relating to the vast's customary sufferers, the legends approximately what occurred on board the deliver, the ensuing differences to maritime regulation, Walter Lord's 1955 non-fiction account a night to submit to in suggestions, and the invention of the ruin in 1985 by a team led by Robert Ballard and Jean Louis Michel have sustained the vast's repute. For seventy years after the disaster, it replaced into believed that the vast had sunk intact. inspite of the actuality that there have been a number of passengers who insisted that the deliver had broken in 2 because it sank (alongside with Jack Thayer, who even drew a collection of sketches depicting the sinking), the inquiries believed the statements of the deliver's officers and superb passengers that it had sunk in one piece. In 1985, while the ruin replaced into got here across by Robert Ballard and his team, they stumbled on that the deliver did actually wreck in 2 because it sank. It replaced into theorized that by using fact the vast sank, the strict rose out of the water. It supposedly rose so extreme that the unsupported weight brought about the deliver to interrupt into 2 products, the split beginning on the top deck. This grew to grow to be the in many circumstances familiar concept. In 2005, new evidence stated that to boot to the estimated ingredient harm, the deliver additionally had sustained harm to the backside of the hull (keel). This new evidence appeared to assist a miles less customary theory that the crack which split the vast in 2 began on the keel plates. This proposition is supported by Jack Thayer's sketches.

People would still put a lot of faith in ocean voyages, and I think that is better than air travel. A better question: what would it be like today if there were no Wright Brothers.

We would have some big rusty ocean liner sitting in a port somewhere with nowhere to put it.
