...there was no such thing as the internet. What would your job be, what would you be designing? what would you have gone to school for? what company would you be working in? what would be your goals if you didnt have webpages to make or graphics for web work..??
i always wondered this since i am not in the web industry.. always noticed how many designers there are for the web industry, and wondered what you most would be doing if you didnt have this kind of work or where you would be in life..
thanks.

"design" is a very new phenomena though. not just web. even in the 1930's there wasn't much designing going on (comparatively) just engineers and inventors and typesetters.
when i was a kid i wanted to be a racing car mechanic.
and now i'm a grown up i want to business man with a 200mph electric roadster that makes spaceship noises.
wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...

i see a few people mention, movies, or tv
if the internet never existed, what evolutions would tv or film have made or would it be the same as it is today slowly evolving, that can guarantee all the constant work..
what im wondering as well, is you all have your lives and are funded my by paychecks thru what it is that you do.. if you were not in this industry, would you be more/ less creative?
would gaming be that venue that you are working within? would there be something so new within today's standards that would shake things up for film, tv, print to lose so many designers whom all work in web today?
would any of you chose to be product designers? would you chose that as a back-up profession for today?
thanks..

I used to be a carpenter before getting into building websites, can't see carpentry ever being closed down by the governments et al.
