Since I met all my boyfriends online I'd probably die alone. Though that seems likely anyway.

before the internet, before wrong planet, outside of work acquaintances I would probably not know a soul, and nobody would know me.

The quality of boregasms would outweigh the quantity?

I suspect the boredom quotient of my boregasms would exceed yours.

Yeah, see, I feel I can bore so many more people online than I ever could in the flesh. I'm just too jolly interesting in real life :roll:

I like to think I would join clubs. I'd have to if I wanted to socialize and got tired of bookstores.

I think I'd either sink or swim, no inbetween. :(

I would say, hell yea! Bring back the 90s, but only if we could use pagers instead of cellphones.

I would feel more technologically "equal" to the bulk of other people, if it was back again in 1965 and with no smart phones or such. I am such a luddite nowadays.

I would probably become a better, more clear-minded person. I am too accustomed to instant gratification and constant entertainment. I haven't read in forever and I get irritated even having to watch the openings of TV shows. I have become a more irritable person and communication with my family has suffered.

I would watch more movies and go to concerts, in all likelihood.
