If there was no internet, what kind of startup would you start?

Question

While hacking away some code, this got me thiking. If internet never came to be, what kind of startup would I start? I'm a pretty successful fiction author, so maybe I'll go into publishing with a subscription model that sends a serial every week by physical mail.

What would you do if there was no internet?

I dream of opening a full-cycle dog shelter, which includes a "dog-cafe" where people can come to drink coffee and play with, for example, puppies, or maybe fall in love with one of them and take them home. I am very worried about the problem of homeless animals in Belarus.

And I would also open a bakery for the soul :) With the most ruddy and always warm buns :)

a project to create a global network of exchange, accessible to all, non-centralized and resilient

Veronika Vinichenko · Answer

@david_t_kim Definitely yes. When my puppy was 2 months old and fit almost on the palm of your hand, they kicked us out (really kicked out, not asked to leave) from Starbucks (however, we accepted the order and we waited on the street for coffee to be brought out), and it was very unpleasant, especially with considering that he was in the bag

@frederic_letellier Without the internet? Wow. I guess that's the opportunity.

@nika_vinichenko Would you allow cats & dogs into your bakery?
