What would life be like if Sims never existed?

I would have never bought my 1st pc. So I wouldn't have been able to look up how to do stuff... I guess I would be reading more How to books. I would have more money. Buying a pc introduced me to Ebay. I bought model trains and all sorts of beads and artifacts. Yeah, I'd have the money but not my collection of things. I wouldn't be on Facebook now and would have to call my family on the phone. So then, I would have to own a cell phone and use it. Having a cell phone with you, by your head, all the time causes tumors and cancer. So The Sims saved my life! :O
