    It is probably a tough question for some, especially since most of us across the globe, both young and old heavily rely on computers and the internet. Today, life would be virtually impossible without it especially to developers like us. To answer the question, I would be a carpenter, and a farmer then I would create a machine from wood that will compile codes made out of paper that will produce kernels of corn. :laugh: Just kidding on that part. Seriously I would definitely be an artist, because being an artist is having the freedom to express your personality through art.

      Miserable. Edit: I can build a house, so a carpenter, I would be.

        Back to analog. Or on a street corner with a guitar and a cup. Analog I've done. The homeless folk singer I'd try.

            I would be spending 93.648% of my time spell-checking*. * I know this because I had a computer work it out for me.

              Only one? I can build lots of houses, so I'd be a better carpenter and get all the contracts. Sorry, but if your kids gotta starve, they gotta starve.

                    Not sure, maybe a chemist. Hard to say, I've been doing this since 14 and never really identified myself any other way until recently. Programming has become such a part of me, I don't think I'd be the same person without it.

                              I would be the equivalent of a Dune "mentat," using thought alone to create and shape realities. The fact I was physically confined in a mental institution would not bother me, since I could manufacture transcorporeal freedom any time I wanted to. I would be blogging about this (of course) by implanting memories in the subconscious minds of millions of people.

                                          Only one? I can build lots of houses, so I'd be a better carpenter and get all the contracts. Sorry, but if your kids gotta starve, they gotta starve.

                                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
