作文题
If the Internet did not exist, communication would rely heavily on traditional methods such as face-to-face conversations, letters, and phone calls. People would need to physically go to stores to shop, and learning would primarily take place in classrooms with books as the main source of information. Socializing would occur through local gatherings and events rather than online platforms. Overall, life would be slower-paced and more reliant on physical interactions.
