I think that your question is "how the world would be if computers weren't invented?" or something like that, is that right?
Well, in first place, you couldn't have made this question...
But I think that for the computer not being invented, you would have had to change many other things in the past.
Inventions come one with the other...there were many factors around and throughout the years and the computer as you know it today was invented as a result of all that.
The idea of a thinking machine that would help the human being to make his/her job is old. Humans are still trying to improve it.
So, in a way, there was no posibility for the computer not being invented...if it wasn't for Babbage, or much later the two Steves (Jobs and Wozniak), it would have been someone else...
It's not "fate", is just that the conditions around were all perfect to invent a machine that behaves like the computer...
But your question is like questioning how the world would be if...the phone wasn't invented, the electricity wasn't dicovered and used, and so on...

there really wouldn't be that big a difference, many of the things we use everyday didn't have a micro processor in them before the advent of the chip and could get along fine without them.
Before the micro chip computer many of the things that we use today were in existance and some that weren't such as the microwave oven could make due with a simple mechinal timer rather than having a micro processor inside. TVs, radios, VCRs, calculators heck even computers were all here before the micro processor.
Questions such as this one would have been published in the letters to the editor section of magazines or newspapers, possibly even debated amongst fellows.

Most things won't exist i guess. Like calculators because the first calculator was a computer type thingy. Even scientific discoveries could not be made as computers will be needed to programme stuff. People will get more stressed as now they have to write reports or stuff in work rather than typing out in a clean space. Surprisingly, people will become either one, healthy or not healthy. Healthy is more outdoor activities, and not healthy because of all the work and stress.
Computers usually do all our work. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Perhaps this is what you mean:
"If the computer had not been invented, what would the world's position be like today ?"
Is that it?
Well, if you have an hour or more, we could discuss it. . .

Half the population of Cortland, NY would still be employed making typewriters for Smith Corona.
