This past week in the United States the hashtag #IfTechnologyNeverAdvanced was trending on Twitter. I was definitely intrigued by what the people of Twitter had to say about our society, minus all the bells and whistles we have come to heavily rely on. Here are some of the best responses I found:

1.

Remembering everyone's birthday is a thing of the past. How are you possibly supposed to be able to remember the birthdays of all seven hundred of your closest friends? That's right, you can't. Which is why Facebook is a Godsend.

2.

Whether this reading is for your own pleasure, or maybe even for that Sociology class you're like, three weeks behind in, you'd probably get a lot more reading done if it weren't for your iPhone, your iPad, your TV, Netflix.

3.

Though citing Wikipedia as a scholarly source on your research paper probably isn't a good idea, we can all admit we've looked to Wikipedia to broaden our generic knowledge about a subject. I mean, don't we all dream of having a Wikipedia page one day? Yeah, me too.

4.

You probably won't be using this tablet for Youtube and Twitter. Just sayin'.

5.

There's always a cynic in the group. But really, I'm pretty sure we're able to develop an iPhone that can withstand my constant texting, Instagramming, and Tweeting without dying every hour.

6.

Thanks to the internet, we have a term for when someone interrupts a picture, either intentionally or by accident. I'm sure we've all photobombed plenty of pictures; maybe even before we knew what photobombing was.

7.

Wouldn't life be exponentially more awkward if we had to type out the meaning behind the eggplant and the peach emoji. Apple got it right with this one.

I'm pretty sure when future civilizations that are far more advanced than our own look back at our time, they're going to think that we we a society that worshiped cats. After all, the Egyptians had hieroglyphics of cats and we think they worshiped them, too. However, we worship them so much that a huge portion of the pictures that we put on the internet are memes of cats. Can you imagine if we had to make them on Lite-Brite's? Yeah, I kind of want to try this now too.

This is kind of what you do when you post the same selfie on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat.

President Obama would be riding the streets of Washington, D.C. in style. I kind of feel like this should be a thing, too.
