I was born in 1972. I remember a life without internet very well. To the person whose parents met through online dating...there was phone dating services. Served the same purpose but you actually had to talk to the person hundreds of miles away. If you had a good long distance plan...as I’m sure would’ve been much cheaper over the years even without internet cheapening the value of Sprint and AT&T...you could talk to anyone you wanted if you were in the market for blind dating. The person who said they found a cure to their debilitating disease via the Internet, there was microfiche, which was accessible to any of the world’s data but on a manual device and from medical journals or newspapers from across the world. Like Emanuel Nicholson said...we could still do a lot of the things we do now but it would much much slower and you’d have to be way more ambitious and creative with where to look. If you didn’t know the internet existed...like no one outside of the military or computer science knew anything about before 1990’s, you wouldn’t even realize you were missing out on anything. Computers were good for a VAST amount of things besides computing. My mom had two computers for video editing in the mid 80’s. You could listen to music stored on a jump drive or a CD. You could play a wide assortment of video games. You could type papers for school. Certainly you know someone who has a computer and was late on their WiFi and phone bill at least once. They watched movies on DVD. Edited and downloaded and stored all kinds of media. We still had technology before the internet and I’m certain it would’ve greatly advanced by now. Or at least been much faster than in the 90’s.

Regarding video games, I think they'd still be mainstream, but they'd be different in significant ways. PC gaming may be very different without the MMO craze, but consoles would not change much, at least not initially. The PS2 and GameCube were designed as offline consoles, with only the Dreamcast and Xbox being able to connect to the internet out of the box (and the Dreamcast, which did only natively supported dial-up, flopped anyway). Even then, online gaming on consoles took a while to get mainstream, and wouldn't become relevant until the release of Halo 2. In this alternate timeline, the Gen 6 consoles still get made, but nothing is connected. Xbox Live never exists, and local multiplayer remains the norm for shooters, including the aforementioned Halo 2, which would still be very popular as it followed the also very popular original Halo. That generation probably would still look 99% the same and still be massively popular. The following generation is where things start to look even more different, but still very familiar. It was the first where every system had built-in broadband connectivity, but it still took a while for online to become the norm. While Microsoft never revealed the split between Xbox Live Silver and Gold, there is some evidence that even by the end of the generation the majority of 360 owners did no have Gold accounts, and thus were not playing online titles, and the 360 was the most connected system that generation (Sony was lagging behind Xbox initially, and the Wii's online was bare-bones basic). All of the best-selling 360 and PS3 games could, in part or in whole, be played offline. However, without the popularity of its online multiplayer, Call of Duty would probably be not be anywhere near as popular as it is in our timeline, and likely have ended up with more middling sales as a series of semi-realistic single-player military shooters (with maybe a local split-screen). Halo may remain popular, but with the multiplayer part having grown more popular in our timeline, in this alternate timeline Halo 3 and subsequent games in the series might not have sold as well purely on the basis of the single-player and local MP. But most other popular games that generation were games that were either single-player only or had only a token multiplayer mode. So, while CoD and a handful of other series known mainly for their multiplayer would likely have not been as popular, console gaming as a whole would likely not be considerably different even as recently as 2012 in this alternate timeline. The Wii in particular would still have been a massive success, and it was a system that was not known for having a strong online presence. Perhaps the biggest difference we'd see last generation in a world without the internet would be the absence of digital distribution. No Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, or Wii Shop Channel means no downloadable content and no digital games. There would be no XBL Arcade, no Virtual Console, and almost certainly no indie games. So many smaller titles released over the past 10-15 years have only been possible because of digital distribution making things easier for smaller companies. Games like Braid, Fez, Limbo, and Super Meat Boy might never exist. Mega Man would never have experienced a revival without Mega Man 9. The "retro revival" as a whole might have never happened without indie titles and other small games that would have struggled to find space on store shelves. As for DLC, this meant fighting games would still be subjected to multiple re-releases every time there was a roster expansion; in the 16-bit era there were several versions of Street Fighter II & III, and two versions of Mortal Kombat 3, which if you wanted to always have the latest version it got damn expensive since you had to re-buy the whole game all over again. Many games with multiplayer modes would likely be limited to the maps/tracks the system came with. However, it's possible that expansion discs could have taken the place of DLC, since hard drives could still have become relevant as a replacement for memory cards, and any content from an expansion pack could be loaded onto the hard drive and accessed by the primary game (Halo 2 notably had its DLC maps released on a disc). The lack of internet and thus digital distribution would also mean the lack of the ability to issue patches for games. That means that any titles that had critical bugs or glitches would be stuck that way forever, as they were for every game released in the pre-internet days of gaming. This could be viewed as a double-edged sword. It is argued that the ability to change a game post-launch has resulted in a "release-and-patch culture" in the industry, where games are intentionally rushed out to market even if they aren't quite ready for prime-time, and then fixed after the fact, making early adopters de facto beta testers of sorts. On the other hand, even if a developer tries to make sure the game is running as good as possible before launch, sometimes unexpected things get through the cracks, and the inability to fix an unforeseen critical bug could hurt the game's sales and reception and thus the reputation and bottom line of the developer and publisher. Moving to the current generation, things will start to look even more different. Without the internet, MS's PR debacles leading up to the launch of the Xbox One would not have happened, as the entire concept of always-online would not exist. Gaming would still be 100% physical, and there could be no countermeasures against used games. As the concept of always-online wouldn't exist, it has ramifications for game development as well. PC gaming had already been bereft of MMOs for many years, with EverQuest, World of Warcraft, and so on having never existed, and their modern counterpart, the "live service" title, would not exist, either. That means Destiny, The Division, Anthem, and Sea of Thieves would not exist. It also means that online-only competitive multiplayer games would not exist, meaning no Overwatch and no "battle royale" games. The kids of today would not only have never had Minecraft or Five Nights at Freddy's to get their attention (and no KZitem meant no Let's Players and other internet personalities to shape their opinions), that means Fortnite would never have existed. Single-player games would absolutely remain dominant as gaming would not be the massively social experience it has become this decade. The social element of gaming would be relegated to local play, things like split-screen and "couch co-op" continuing to define multiplayer as it did during the 90s. The fate of the competitive scene is ambiguous. Without the internet to popularize it, it may have never become as big as it is today, but it would still exist as it has had a long history. Fighting games would probably be the dominant genre since it has only required a single screen, and the Evo tournament has been around since 1996. However, first-person shooters would probably have never entered the competitive scene if they were relegated to split-screen. If the LAN still existed in this internet-less world, then it may have given some shooters the potential to be a major competitive genre. In conclusion, video gaming's massive mainstream success had already been cemented before online gaming became the norm. In a world without the internet, this almost certainly would not change. However, without the existence of online connectivity the face of gaming today would be noticeably different. Some genres would have taken entirely different trajectories, and many titles and even entire genres (e.g., the MMO) would have never existed. The overall market share of the Big Three in the console space would probably be different. Science fiction involving the internet would also not exist, meaning any games that had such a thing as a story element would not exist. The internet shaped our culture significantly, and as a result our different culture would result in at least some developers producing different games. Games journalism may still also be limited to magazines, though perhaps a TV channel dedicated to games would still arise and be popular, showing gameplay videos and having the latest gaming news and otherwise doing things a magazine couldn't do. But as a whole, video games would still be a popular mainstream form of entertainment.

Well written. Thank you for this. The only thing I have to say is games with a science fiction setting that involves an advanced level of communication would still exist and would be similar to the internet. I say this because phones still exist and scifi stuff (like Star Trek) has shown stuff only possible through the internet, like video calls, which is based on the idea that somehow, like using phones to communicate long distance, even the internet is an inevitability (even if the concept is fictional).

Most of my closest friends are people who I have never actually met in real life. I may have more friends in real life, but all I do with them is make random jokes, never actually discuss anything interesting. It is the opposite with the people I meet online. So, if there was no internet I would probably not have any meaningful relationships with people, and, as a result, I would probably be very lonely, and frustrated with my life. Of course, I would not know what I was missing, but that wouldn't change the fact that I would have no one to discuss what I am interested in with.

In a world without the internet, my life would be radically different. For starters, I would not have had to take a course in elementary school where I created my own webpage (to date myself here, this happened at around the turn of the millennium). I probably would not have had as much interest in computers outside of word processing and video gaming (since video games would have still been made for it and sold as physical media rather than via Steam). I still would play video games on actual consoles. As a teenager, I made friends easier online and it was one of the main ways I was able to connect with others since I was always seen as "off", "creepy", or just downright "weird" due to my social awkwardness stemming from Autism and more (which I don't wish to go over due to the fact that it's a depressing topic). So I would just be even more isolated and with fewer friends. I would still have been likely to take a film class for fun, but there'd be less reason to since youtube wouldn't exist (this would be about 2004-ish). I would have graduated High School with less of an idea of what I wanted to do with my life and with less of a chance to find what few things I'd be good at or even interested in. My adult life would be when my life would have taken a different turn. I wouldn't have really left home like I did and I'd have less direction or even friends when my dad kicked the bucket when I was 20. I'd be likely to still have all of the same irl friends I have in this timeline, but I'd still have no direction or skills. I wouldn't have been exposed to computers as much and then wouldn't have discovered my affinity for technology. Furthermore, my major of Information Technology would simply be non-existent, only existing as the separate branches of computer programming and repair. The whole area of computer networking and security would simply not exist. I would not have had to go through multiple quarters/years of the intricacies of routing, switches, TCP/IP, the multiple layers of computer communication, and the how's and why's of designing, implementing, and troubleshooting intranets. Much of my field of study would simply not exist, as would the sectors I'm working towards getting into (database management and/or intrusion response). And I simply would not be watching this video and leaving an essay of an answer.

Follow up episode idea: Working on this same premise, I believe the internet is a bit of an inevitability. Eventually in order to sell new products companies would try and find ways of connecting devices together to try to gain an edge over their competitors by reducing dependency on physical media. But rather than a global open internet, it likely would be internal company intranets similar to what we see today but for the giant companies. In other words a closed network. It would probably take a very long time for it to get to where it is today with corporations trying to keep control over it and likely connections would be mostly peer to peer for consumer devices for the purpose of file transfers. Eventually I think things like the Home Server or NAS would develop so people could store stuff on a single network resource in their home, most people would use it as a media server I'd imagine with some document storage as the likely use case. People would probably start to abuse this (cough pirates cough) and connect their homes to each other buying enterprise gear. These people would likely be the people who are the PC enthusiasts today. Companies would probably fight this on patent grounds or try to release their own products. At this point an internet would probably start to emerge, but would look quite different. The internet would likely be heavily regulated and corporate controlled and would look like an entirely different place. There would be no push to keep the internet an open platform since it never was in the first place. Mostly it would be like the early internet in terms of billing, and probably would eventually expand to how it is now similar to how MMOs changed how ISPs worked. However I don't see it having many websites since its corporate controlled nature, the web likely wouldn't exist in this timeline and therefore social media. Likely chat rooms, file sharing, and some peer to peer gaming would exists, but it probably would remain stagnated at that level.

Now, the people I enjoy and remain friends with communicate via text message on FB Communicator. I’ve been lucky enough to be in a band that plays instruments and loads/unloads equipment for local shows...we spend the majority of our time communicating on Messenger. It’s so much easier than having to confront or visit anyone. But I could EASILY live a life without it. Most people born after 1995 could not. Idk what my daughter says or how much “lecturing” I’ve given her over the years about a world without internet or technology for that matter...she’d be lost without the internet. And she’s 21!

I do disagree about the malls though to a certain extent. A big reason people don't go to malls is because of parents. Parents nowadays don't want their kids to go anywhere without them/another person they trust. Unlike when I grew up in the 90's. And parents feel they have better things to do then walk the mall with their "brats". Basically, it's the Stranger Danger culture we live in LOL. Kids can't do anything without parents nowadays, until they reach maybe 15. Unless it's with a person they really trust. This is in America, anyway...

Wouldn't Netflix door to door service by mail have actually caught on instead of streamed? In fact, as I remember Blockbuster was starting to get into that action before streaming and the popularity of the internet was a thing. To answer your question without the Internet I'd have focused on direct marketing instead of internet marketing although with less success as information wouldn't have been freely available that or I would have ended up being a electronic/computer repair person. Remember when TV repair was a profession? Nowadays it cost more to repair than just buying a new one given it is less costly to produce.

You could still make a system like netflix work... it would be more expensive, but they could every month, every couple of months, whatever, send out a catalog to their subscribers and have their subscribers call and/or mail their requests in. It wouldn't become nearly as big as it did, but as a niche operation it could do very well amongst those who really enjoy movies and appreciate the flat rate unlimited rentals aspect.

I often pondered the same thing where what if the internet did not exist or did not take off for whatever reason. I was born in 1966, it was a world where Ozzie and Harriett were still on TV and I came into the world exactly two months before Star Trek came on TV. TV was still mostly black and white but color was coming up fast. That said, here goes my take. I remember the first personal computers in the 1970's and there were aq few people who started to run BBS'es (Bulletin Board Systems) where you had to dial them up. At that time, say 1978, you used 110 or 300 baud. BBS'es were stand alone usually and basically only hardcore computer enthusiasts used them. The downside is unless you had a phone package where you can all all places in your area code, you had to watch what BBS'es you can call where you will not run up your phone bill. Of course, I've heard of people "phreaking" (in the 1970's and 1980's) where they somehow manipulate the phone system to avoid charges but that was illegal. Stand alone BBS'es generally served their local areas. We had discussion boards but those mainly focused on technical topics although there were some general debate, political and non-political and specialty forums like shortwave listening, amateur radio (I'm a ham radio operator myself) and so forth. This changed around 1983 when a computer engineer named Tom Jennings came up with Fidonet, basically a system where dial-up BBS'es can network although not in real time. I remember getting online in 1986 to Fidonet. Basically Fidonet's system operated in a node type network where the local BBS you would call into, you'd post in forums you like, my favorites were politics, history, shortwave and amateur radio, cats, cars a few sundry other things. You'd post there and at certain times of the days, the local BBS'es would call into a central hub and relay the messages back and forth and the hub woulds then call the area node which would then go to a bigger central node for the area, could be State or group of them and then upward to a national node where every night at "National Mail Hours, it would go across the country and even the world." Usually hubs would be local, in the Pittsburgh area, we were number 129 IIRC where all the Pittsburgh BBS'es would be part of that hub, Sometimes you had exceptions, we had a BBS from Exeter in the UK on the Pittsburgh hub for example so my messages would not have to wait for the National Mail Hour. For the most part, even Fidonet was mainly for computer geeks but you had geeks from other disciplines too like amateur radio for example. The technology, well, usually the BBS'es ran on IBM-PC/XT DOS compatibles, most likely using the 8086/8088 microprocessors, the typical hard drive at the time held like 10 or 20 megabytes and had 640K of RAM. To ease the length of time, you might have a mail program where you can download your Fidonet mail and messages from the forums you're interested in and download them to your PC where you can read them and reply to them and upload them net time you get online as well as get more messages. The standard modems were 300/1200/2400 baud and 9600 was coming on the scene when the internet came around, for Fidonet, the typical model was 1200/2400 baud. Also, there were no pictures, just text. In the late 1980's and early 1990's, Fidonet was making gateways to the internet and usenet, I found a message from my in 1994 discussing floaters in the eyes for example with a few others. Cody and Tristian, I think you're quite spot on where we could be today. If I may add, I think Fidonet would still be around though for the more hardcore techies, maybe we'd be stuck at the maximum of 28K/56K that the phone lines can handle and I'd still be downloaded my messages and mail on a DOS system. For data sharing like say in a medical situation, it would be a direct link from computer to computer via modem, let's say someone gets a cancer scan in Pittsburgh and the doctor wants to send it to M.D. Anderson in Texas, they would have to link modem to modem over the phone and send files that way. Myself, where would I be. Well, again, I'd most likely be on Fidonet downloading and reading/replying offline, I work in a call center for a cable company so the only thing I can think up on that is maybe it would be more secure with the cable companies maintaining a bigger share. Also, if one wants to research, they'd do it the old fashioned way, go to the encyclopedia if they have it (book, CD/DVD or cartridge form) or go to the library. This is a good one to ponder, I know there would be an alternate history Fidonet group we'd be hanging out on and possible one of us will be wondering, "what if the world was on one network, how would this alternate 2017 look like." B-) Gaming, well I do remember when Doom came out, you can go over the network of an office or do two computers, peer to peer via modem.

Thanks for the info, I'd never heard of Fidonet! I was thinking through a lot of this video "what about BBSes?" I'm too young (born in 1991) to've gotten into them at the time, but I do have an interest in that sort early-era computer networking. To me, it seems inevitable that someone would, sooner or later, have engineered a way to interconnect computers on a larger scale, whether based on point-to-point modem links or some expansion of ethernet (which my 2 minutes of research suggests could have still been developed even if ARPANET was never released to public domain). The resulting "alternate internet" would likely be very different in its technical underpinnings (possibly being more fractured/balkanized as a result), and could easily small niche for longer, but I suspect it's uses would eventually converge towards our own timeline. IMO the usefulness of the modern internet makes it a near-inevitable invention once someone manages to imagine something like it, but I _may_ be a bit biased...

The Japanese would have fought to the death against both invaders, and the death toll would have been massive. What the Soviets did in Germany, would have been repeated in Japan, and the US troops wouldn't have been much kinder. After Japan is conquered (at least 1 year than WW2 ended in our timeline btw), we would have the same situation in Japan that we had with Europe during the Cold War. Just look at how tense everything was between East and West Germany. Now, we've got the same deal in Japan. Except now, the Soviets have no reason to fear being annihilated by US bombs because they don't exist. Unless Stalin dies early and Khrushchev takes over, WW3 would definitely happen.
