What would you do if there were no more computers on earth?

It'd be time to find another job.\n\nActually, I'd take pictures, my passion, which has no money in it.\n\nOh, and I'd celebrate! Run off in to the woods, live wild, that sort of thing ;)

In South Africa, you have to steal a new computer as soon as possible. \nWhile you're at it, bring me a car. \n:-)

Ask for one.  Lots of people give away their old computers when they buy a new one.

Nah, I'd go back to what I was doing before. I was a Graphics Artist before I got into programming and unix system administration.\n\nI think the smart ones would be able to use their intelligence to retrain and get another good job. Something that takes curiosity and brains like an explorer or a scientist.\n\nThe ones that got into computers just because of the "big bucks" might be able to retrain. Perhaps something that takes some smarts like electrician or plumber.\n\nThen the ones who can't seem to find their butts with both hands (which is a good 75% of the folks I find on line) would go back to flipping burgers and asking "do you want fries with that?"

I'd take a couple of tylenol, a big bottle of water, and go lie down for a bit.\n\nAnd throw away your copy of The Matrix.

Firstly, you would not have a car.\nNo one would have a car.\nInstead there would be excellent public transport.\nIt would be supremely reliable.\n\nA calculator would be made available to you for your test.\n\nYour community hall would also have a place where you could go and study.  It would be fully equipped with calculators, computers and other equipment.\n\nFinally you would not eat alone or in your tiny family unit but would share a communal meal with your neighbours.\nYou would all eat together.\n\nYour effort would actually be reduced because\n1. you would not need to worry about servicing or looking after a car, there would be no need.\n2. you would not need to worry about finding/buying equipment for your course. It would all be made available to you.\n3. you would not have to cook for yourself.  Instead those neighbours who were talented home managers would prepare meals for you.\n\nThe question is, how can a society possibly function where the rich keep getting richer, the poor poorer.  Where each day a billion cars clog the roads, where at any moment one of the growing army of the poor might decide to just seize your posessions because they are so desperate/unhappy/discontented.\n\nHow long can our society last?\n\n(PS you are right, human nature does lead to a greedy capitalist democracy which of course is another name for mob rule.)

It is time for a new computer.

Or just find a COTS solution, since such systems are already in use.\n\nIs there a question in here, such as what technology platforms might be appropriate?

you won't have enough memory available to do anything, so why bother...???

Like most things, the internet gives us miraculas benefits and dangerous possibilities. With the growing energy crisis, we will see more people having the ability to work from home, but this could create a rise in depression and a decline in social skills.\n\nIt will be interesting to watch the development of computers and where the next generation of technology will take us. We will obviously see more voice activated computers, they will be used in more areas of the home, they will be faster, perhaps smaller. They will run most of the aspects of our home (security,entertainment, maintenance, communication). I'm sure there will be aspects we can't even imagine now. We are alreay using them in ways that were inconceivable as little as 12 or 15 years ago. \n\nWe live in interesting times.

Yes it's half true, but it isn't your computer, mine and Joe Bloggs, it's very large servers and data centre arrays that are 'logged on' that the Internet content is stored on. If they were switched off then yes, your friend is correct, the Internet would cease to exist. \n....................Added to above (Robin and Ma...)if all the Computers in the world were turned off the info would not "cease to exit" it would not be accessable until they were switched back on.
