What if computers weren't invented?

If it weren't for Microsoft... IBM would have contracted with another small software house to write the operating system for its new Personal Computer. Big Deal.

If Microsoft hadn't come up with Windows... Well, the first graphical user interfaces were devised at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). (Apple didn't invent those, either.) We still would have wound up with GUIs.

Microsoft was late to the Internet game, too. Remember Netscape?

Lots of word processors and typesetting programs came out before Word.

If they weren't invented let's be honest here we wouldn't even have internet not just for computers, phones, and all kinds of technology.

Back in the 1970's there were so many different computer comapanies, NeXt from IBM which disappeared just as quick as it arrived. If however Bill Gates didn't buy the DOS software that he renamed then chances are IBM would have bought it. Or Apple might have had the majority.
If computers weren't invented then i would probably be outside playing football or fixing/driving cars :)

That is very true it would be very bad for the economy.

The world as we know it today would never exist so our other selves wouldn't mind. That is if we were even born. So the whole world as we know it would be different and this world would have no say in anything.

Exactly, that's what I was hoping someone would say! You've read my mind.
I would probably take more interest in mathematics or mechanical engineering.
I found that it's much more relaxing to stop thinking about the horrible realities that are/were a near miss, and think about the things I am lucky enough to have.

But in all seriousness, thank god.
We wouldn't have anything if there were no computers. Lets be honest about this

I would of done the same thing if they didn't exist.
