I.. read and do a lot of console gaming. And by a lot, I mean "own-all-of-them" a lot. Most of the time when I'm in game I'm also either reading a book, studying for tests/doing homework, or playing a console game on the side. Multitasking!

I'd draw more often, I guess...
It'd be quite a sad life, if you ask me.

I'd just give more time to the other hobbies I already have--reading, writing, console games, tabletop games, drawing, etc. I guess I'd probably also text a lot more since I couldn't chat with my friends through Skype/Facebook.

As several have said before me... if it's just internet and MMOs, I'd likely go back to consoles. 

However, to say there wasn't any internet would mean I never would have met my wife (or, at least I likely wouldn't have... discussion of fate saved for another day perhaps) and I'd likely still be living in Florida instead of Oklahoma. I would likely be a local law enforcement officer there in FL, instead of a teacher here in OK. 

In my free time, I'd likely stick to console and single player PC games. Take those away and I'd likely watch TV in their stead. Take that away as well...? Maybe find a cure for cancer out of sheer boredom? I honestly don't know if you were to take my entertainment technology from me.

TL;DR: Internet + MMOs quite literally got me where I am today in life. If those weren't around, I'd likely be half the country (USA) away back on the east coast doing a very different job than I currently do.

There was a day the past month were the power went out for a day at home and work so I basically had the day off.

I ended up cleaning, running five errands, walking, exercising (okay to music on my phone), and crocheting.

I think I would probably do volunteer work, draw, be more creative in the kitchen, and crochet. Be a productive person. Blush

No internet? I'm out of a job.

So, uh, job-searching. I'd probably still play single-player games either on consoles or computers, but I'd probably end up reading and writing a whole lot more.

Same here. No job for me.

I might still be a cook, but I'd probably be some sort of non-internet-enabled engineer. Or a motorcycle mechanic. That's always been fun.

I'd be doing a lot more reading and catching up on movies. Growing up with a strictly religious family up until I was seventeen, I missed a lot of pop culture and cinematic legacies like Star Wars, Matrix, Saving Private Ryan, etc. I'd also be working a lot more on my book edit since I've co-authored some work with a friend. Right now it's in the 680 page range due to how it was all copied and pasted from logs from the various places we wrote it on/RPed it out/discussed it/etc. If I actually spent time on it that number would go down A LOT lol.

I'd likely play more console games, read more books and watch more movies. I'd also be a lot more miserable since I met my partner through WoW and since he lived in a different country at the time we would have likely never have met in the first place.

Uh, hm.

Console games, a lot more Table Top games. I'd probably be into local theater a lot more since MMO RP wouldn't be scratching the itch I have to act anymore. Definitely would have finished writing a few novels by now. Reading, a lot of reading. I spent most of my time on the internet reading, so it would just transfer to books.

I would draw. Not that I don't draw all the time anyway. I'd probably play a lot more console games, too. I haven't actually touched too many console games since the mmo addiction set it. So many games I bought but never played...

Tarot likely wouldn't exist, since he was born out of an MMO in a super-hero setting which is something I typically would never have indulged in in the first place. And no Tarot would mean my life would be a lot sadder for it.

But I'd probably read a lot more. I wouldn't be writing if the Internet had never been invented, I think--I only started writing because of Roleplay.

Console games. Tabletop games. A lot more reading than I do now. Might force me to be less of a hermit.
