"Modern Life"

          Modern life would be much different if there weren't any computers. It would take much longer for people to transfer information from one source to another. The post office would be in greater demand. The post office would make way more money than they do with computers. If a person would want to communicate with another person from across the country, they would have to mail that person a letter or make a long distance phone call. It’s going to take a while for the letter to reach its final destination and its going to take a while to get a response because the recipient has to write another letter in response to the letter that they received. Then they would have to get an envelope and a stamp that may take some time. Long distance phone calls could be very expensive and add up. Without the internet, communication would be much more expensive. Communication would be much more difficult and you wouldn't be able to communicate with a large group of people.
        Looking for past information would take longer and be difficult. You would have to go to the library and look through multiple files. A person may also have to search through multiple files for one piece of information. You would also have to read multiple books and search through a number of encyclopedias. You would have to write out your papers or use a typewriter. The computer is crucial to the way that people live. Most things would be done much slower without it.
