#WritersCoffeeClub – 28th Sept. Could you work without the internet? What would change?

I grew up long before the internet was a thing (and before personal computers. My sister worked for an insurance company and their ‘computer’ took up a whole floor and worked via punch-cards).
If no internet I’d simply drag out my typewriter, my fountain pen and paper. The only thing that would be a pain is backup saving of work on Dropbox, my laptop, an external hard drive, and a USB (been caught once, lost 67000k MS).
Also the ease of submitting work to my publisher via email would mean printing it out and sending it snail mail. I could manage but I’d miss a few things.
