What to do if computers didn't exists?

If there wasn't any computers in the world, what should I do right now? It's not an easy question to answer. When I was about 6 years old, I was dreaming about being a farmer, have three kids at the age of 20. At the age of 20, I was working with a Business 2 Business solution, no kids and almost single. I don't think I would like to be a farmer now, maybe some kind of a designer.

How about you, if there wasn't any computers in the world, what have you done right now?

I'd be the one inventing the computer to use it in the future for myself :) Otherwise, life would be boring.

Programming lets me feel like a god - and perhaps that feeling would drive me to being a mathematician or a mage. Need for abstractions in my mind is crucial :)

Farmer also, nothing compares with fresh air, feeling great after a hard work day, no stress (at least compared with IT)

I was also dreaming about being a farmer when I was little. But now after some experience should choose to become a graphic artist.

Programming for me was the natural extension of building things with Lego blocks. So I guess something creative, as an inventor of mechanical devices.

My other passions are: fly fishing and cooking. So I might have a small restaurant somewhere close to a good fishing river...

Who knows :)

I've having thoughts about this too... When I was smaller I was absolutely certain that I was going to work as a car designer. Nowadays I'm more into cooking or writing in some form. Maybe as a copy writer or journalist.

Life without computers would be easy. There'd still be internet, though? :-)

Who knows what would be then. My life could look completely different. I wish I would be a designer, but I could be a farmer as well. We just don't know that

What a great and interesting question.

In high school I liked the sciences, biology and physics, primarily. And, for a brief moment, I actually considered entering University majoring in biology (instead of Computer Science), so I imagine I would be a biologist or physicist today, if it weren't for computers.

I probably would have gone back into the military after college and been a career military officer like generations of my ascendants were.

A carpenter and a Farmer. Then i would create a machine made out of wood that will compile code made out of paper. Then it will produce kernels of corn. ^_^
