What will you be if computers weren't in existence?

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.
I'm also a qualified electrician. ...so I'd probably be dead because I'm too lazy to _always_ check whether a wire is live or not before touching it.

I love this thread! Thanks Vincent! I had a drafting teacher who wanted to apprentice me to an Architecture firm. But my first love before computing was everything else electronic, so possibly an Electronics Engineer. Also was career military, so I'd probably have stayed. My career field there was based around seismology (it was classified as an Electronics career), so I could still be looking at wiggly lines. Maybe could be building things, writing, playing music (musicing?) or teaching. Of course there's always the possibility I'd be homeless on the street somewhere! X| :omg: That's probably why I like development so much: Every job and every day is different! Always learning, always creating, always experimenting. :-D

I've always wanted to be an architect or atlas an artist, but I landed in computer world because I didn't have a choice that time. :) Tale Of A Professional Developer - Untold[^]
