Is the Internet too good to be true?

A lot of media companies are taking big hits from the Internet.  You have probably read about the music business and the explosion of pirated music.  The iTunes store partly solved the problem, but the glory days seem gone for music.  Entertainers must go on tours to earn a high income now.

If all the computors and the information highway disappeared.........

what would be added to your day that you would have to do by hand.

Do you remember how to write a letter?

Do you know how to spell?

Can you bank at a real bank?

On-line games, blogs, messageboards - what would you do for fun?

Would there be less crime? less terrorism?

Just wondering?
