Your guess?

I think society would be dead without internet. Most things function through the internet. Most business establishments, telecommunication companies, offices, government offices, even bitcoin functions through internet. Internet made life easier and convenient for people.

Nope. The society will be more lively. Have you ever seen people on a subway or a tube? All of them are hooked on to their smartphones, ipods and other gadgets and they look just like zombies. They hardly talk to each other and almost resembles robots. Internet has its own benefits and advantages. But this one is a major disadvantage which came with it.

Unquestionably back to basics, the good old fashioned way.
Like when we need to communicate with our love ones from afar, we rely on the basic writing letters straight to the mailbox with licked stamps on it. Our students go to the library to do their research or homeworks with the help of thick encyclopedias. Our children playing cheerfully on the street; running, jumping, shouting their hearts out perspiring heavily under the sun. Ahhh those were the good old days. But it's fun.
We have to remember we got to where we are today without the internet.

The Internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols. The Internet has an integrated impact on our life like the business. Life without internet we are difficult to everyone in this life, like some adolescent shouting since they cannot sign on to social media everything boils down to how much we actually utilize the Internet furthermore, what for. A few of us barely utilize the Internet, where others lovely much carry on with their life around. Similarly, some, in reality, carry on a totally new life inside the Web like the individuals who utilize second life.

That question depends a lot on what you mean by "society". Do you mean the way people act with each other? Or technology progress?

People interact with each other in pretty much the same ways, regardless of their surroundings. They might use different "toys", speak different languages and have differently appearing traditions. But at the core it's all the same if you really pay attention to what is going on.

As far as progress is concerned though, ever since the internet things have been speeding up dramatically. Even more so than in the past. And the easier and more accurate communication becomes (think brain interfaces), the faster humanity will advance thanks to the very few people who actually choose to push boundaries. We're in for a real rollercoaster in the coming decades.

If internet is not there, then it will set free a lot of people. Public peer-to-peer interactions have got reduced to such a level nowadays, thanks to the proliferance of the social media. More than 90% of the youth are addicted to social media outlets such as Whatsapp and Facebook. The rest are addicted to online gaming and gambling.

i think that society would not have progressed on what it is it now without the internet as infrastructures and projects and technology would not have advanced if not for it. SOciety is depending too much of its resources o it and a breakdown can spell disaster.

Each society has its own priorities. Yes indeed, there was no Internet, but there were expansion joints. For example, we had cheap gasoline and more people traveled, there were discos where people communicated in person and many more.

There is a fellow in Japan who didn't go out from his flat 4 years because he was all day on computer...that's insane
It depends on those who are using internet or technologies how they handle this king of situation and how they manage their time.

Without the Internet, only young people can suffer. Well, we are people who are familiar, besides, TV and radio will remain. Computer games, movies, music and books will be bought as before, on physical media, and not downloaded from the Internet.

I believe that internet have been playing a big role in our society ever since internet was created, but it also has affected our society in every possible way. Most of the affected group is our youth, internet is now availble anytime and almost everywhere, and its not requiring any parental guidance, so addiction rate is quite high. Health is greatly affected by this as well as socialization skills, but lets not take away what great advantage it bring to everyone.

OP would have to find some other outlet for trolling, but other than that the world would continue to spin on its axis and we'd survive.  Information flow would be a lot slower, that's one of the big differences between today and the pre-internet world.  It's so easy to get information about anything, and it's one of the things I love about the internet.
It would simply go back to basics. I think I would like that one. But on the other hand it will be difficult for families with members working abroad. Most of the families rely on internet to communicate to their loved ones (don't you think?). Also, news or information dissemination will be compromised because people depend on internet to be updated with the latest happening in the world.

I cant even imagine how world would be without internet !!! I guess there would be few billionaires and millionaires. People would have close relationships. There would a lot less depressed people and less suicide rates. Two way communication would be very slow.
