What if the internet wasn't invented?

What if the internet didn't exist? Well if the internet did not exist then people would not be able to research things or look up things that could help a person in need of homework. The internet is so useful if you didn't have T.V. then you could look up the weather or thenews just from the internet with a few quick keystrokes. Say you don't have a T.V. guide to find out what is on T.V. you could just look it up on the web. The internet also allows people to communicate with people without telephones and those who live far away. With it people can email and instant message each other to keep in touch, and it is so much faster than sending regular mail. People an also shop on the web from their groceries to presents. If someone does not have a car or doesn't have any transportation at all, they could do all their shopping from the web without wastin gas. If we didn't have the internet we could not do half the things we do today partly becasue people rely on the internet so much we wouldn't know what to do without it. the internet is so resourceful people can look up their ancestry and find out exactly where their family originated from without doing so much research at a library. sometimes people can't even find things at the library becuase the library sometimes doesn't have everything a person needs to do thier research from. The web can even help people go to school if they didn't want to sit in a classroom or help them find a job that they wouldn't be able to find in a regular newspaper. So in other word the internet has become very important in the following years. I do not know how people survived without it back twenty to thirty years ago.

What if.. there was a cure for cancer?

What if there was a cure for cancer? Well if there was a cure for cancer a lot of people could be saved from this disease that so many have died from. So many people already have to fight to survive from cancer. Even though doctors can remove the tumors the patients still have to go thru treatments that weakens them and make them feel even sicker than they already are. Some treatments like radiation can cause people to develop other cancers in the body. If my brother could have the cure for cancer he could have a normal teenage life instead of going to chemo treatments, having surgeries, or blood work. Now for the rest of his life he will have to have mris done to make sure the cancer he had will never come back. I know when he was first diagnosed I wasn’t sure if he would live or die because of how big the tumor was in his head and because when they had to do surgery by the stem of his brain. The doctors weren’t sure how it will affect him after the surgery. So if my brother had the cure it could also mean my family be more at ease with his health. I feel inspired for all those who stand and fight and cancer and for those who are survivors because they went through something I can’t imagine going through all the treatments and the surgeries. The cure could help so many live a more normal life and I know there close to coming up with a cure. But they might not find it if people keep cutting down the rain forests because I so believe the cure is out there somewhere in the rainforests. For right now since there isn’t any cure I just hope science and technology gets better where there can be more survivors out there.
