I would say the crime rate/ rape rate and totally rates of everything would've been 10 times of the current rates, population of earth would be 12 billions people, pretty much people would have so much of spare time and that's not good. and you are forgetting something here, things like internet and bitcoin are inevitable to exist. if you want to know how would it be without anything just look at history and the times before them ever existed.
Society without internet? look at the years before internet, how was the situation before it?
True, let's just look on the positive sides of the internet for the help it gives on the users
definitely, negative effects of it will be experienced for abusing internet.

I think we could look back before the internet really works or look back 40 years back from today,
It seems that the people are really having more fun than today they are going to hang out and face each other not hanging out and looking at their gadget,
And if they really need something they would go search for it and ask anyone that they know for help unlike in our time now if we need something we would just basically search for it in the internet.
I really think that back then they are more friendly,respectful and more active .

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
We went to visit.
Read books, newspapers, magazines.
Went to the cinema.
Went for a walk.
Rearranged the furniture in the apartment.
They did something with their own hands.
 
A lot of things we did ...
Funny how the cinema is a kind of modern technology as well, just slightly older than the Internet.

Whenever some new technology comes around everyone seems to convince themselves that it's screwed up the generation and that in their day everything was somehow better.

It's funny to see how little self-awareness some people have about their nostalgia.

There is positive and negative in Internet. But if no Internet maybe every country or company have independent computer network. But not link or compatible each other.

Your guess?

Maybe we will have a higher social sense, maybe we will have more "real" friends. Most of us today have more internet friends than real friends. Maybe we will get slower to get information all over the world, but I feel life will be better without internet.

Yes I agree with you.  We will have real friends.  Not friends on facebook and friends on ig or friends anywhere.  True friends like before.  As to getting information, I do not think that it would be slow, yes slow but our parents done that before.  And they teach them patience.  Not all what we searched on the internet are true.
maybe it will be less crimes like rapes and lessen the broken marriage I think internet influence social life of people so even we got a lots of things using this system we still have some downside people believes that in the time of learning someone will also try to learn dark side.

They read a lot, talked to each other (telephones were rarely used by anyone, and not all TVs stood). And going to the movies is a whole sacred thing: the smart people went out long before the session and strolled near the House of Culture (or the club) until the bell rang for the favorite songs of those years, in the winter dances in the foyer in front of the cinema, everyone in anticipation of the new film !! Many participated in amateur art activities, the stadiums were open to everyone - in general, they entertained and entertained themselves, they did not wait for someone else to do it for us. And the relationship to each other was better, cleaner.

It will be impossible to live without the internet. Just imagine a life without internet. You won't be able to withdraw cash from the ATMs, you won't be able to read the daily news (if you have a habit of reading them online), credit carts and Bitcoin will not work.etc.

The Internet has changed us, and if one day there is no network then we will lose the news, for example, need to write a letter with friends, it is very troublesome. Wink

maybe I am not the only one here who experienced time when computers are not yet that accessible for children and cellphone models are still those having antennas only used for calling and texting.
Society exists, yet communication is a distance away specially those who don't have the phones yet. Few households have telephones because it was expensinve too back then.
But children back then are creative, playful, and imaginative, they respect elders.
Yes, communication is important and easier nowadays because of new technologies. But one disadvantage is that people forget about life of adventure, happiness in a simple playground.
There can be a society without internet years ago.
But now because our world or Government rather implements ways that is accessible through internet, there will no longer be a society without internet but just a group of people being called as tribes and not educated.
Its still a progress that our elders learn how to use internet to complete Government requirements nowadays. It is a continuous adoptation. But soon it I think everything will be web-based.

Well it will probably happen if this world of ours have already gone to a Post Apocalyptic setting. Where mere advanced technology still exist but no 'Internet'.

Where the population have decreased by 50%, and people will be isolated from each other; villages by villages. And we have to use this gigantic machines(from the past world) just to make sure that there will be no hostile aliens that'll attack you, and make transactions to other villages.

Well if we compare the statement from our time, it would probably have a lot of differences. In terms of economy including advancements, business, education, how we socialize, media and many more. But if the internet do not really exist our lives will still be in normal, because we're not aware on it at the very first.

I agree on this, with or without internet , i think our life would still be normal but not advanced as how we are advanced today.
