What is the one thing in this modern World that you can not do anything without?

AMKC

You use them all the time sometimes without even realising it. Yes you could live without them so its not food or water but life would be a lot harder without them. They are one and many.

I will give this post to 100 replies or if it goes over that as soon as I see it.

If the answer has not been mentioned by then I will and if it has then congratulations.

Both wrong and Bacteria have always existed but so have what I am talking about well after they were invented but they are used a lot more now than even 50 years ago.

One can live without all them things life would just be a lot harder or more boring but there is people who do live without any of those things.

By your own logic we could live without whatever you think is the answer. If it was invented by humans and has just been used more in the last 50 years it is not essential to our survival as a species.

Now you're changing the parameters. You mentioned no time period in the OP so I'll take bacteria as correct.

Next you'll get a valid answer but it begins with a different letter to the particular answer you want.

And apparently the correct answer is something they can't live without, but the rest of us are wrong.

I thought it was something you could live without but life would be harder without. That covers multitude really.

Let's face it, if the question was posed properly there might be a scintilla of a chance somebody knows what he's on about.

“You use them all the time sometimes without realising it” was one of the criteria though? People know when they’re using numbers 😳

I was going to say “other people”… 🤔

Count Dracula

My fangs.

I would be lost without the screeches and angst wailing of induced terror which my immortal vamps bestow upon the cold dark long night, silence amongst the roof tops, a vampire lord, a king of immortals their destiny at my behest. a world at night , at night I am king , a night of stones and banks and every blooming thing.

Be safe mortals, be kind to yourself and to the other mortals , all people should endeavour to be more kind... en devore. a Ha HA HA HA HA HA Haaaaaaa...... A HA HA HA HA HA #HAaaaaah

Well that's an absurd answer based on the question.

The absurdity of being.

Not all the time. For instance in Computers I know its mostly 0s and 1s but they would not work without them and neither would the Internet.

No its not. It's a fact.

As were countless other answers, based on how the question was posed. I only said numbers as a facetious answer to such an open ended question.

Graces7

Easy communications ie phone, email. Enables greater freedom of residence and movement and saves fuel and travel costs. I just ordered all my supplies delivered in one call...

Gregor Samsa

Given the OP, I'd say the answer is pointless threads.

mod

seeing as the riddle has been solved the thread could be closed but I will leave it open for now because to be fair the title lends itself to a reasonable discussion about things we feel we couldn’t be without. If it stagnates I’ll close it off mind.

As for myself I couldn’t live without music. Obviously family etc also but if I had to pick a “thing” that would be it. I’d go absolutely insane.

Graces7

For me also..Silence... No background sounds or accompanying tunes... Occasional birdsong..

cj maxx

Smart phone and the internet. I realise if I leave my phone in the car or bedroom its a panic to know where it is. I take it everywhere !!

SuperBowserWorld

An influencer.

I can't do anything without consulting an influencer to figure out what's woke and what's not.

Also, a sense of humour.

Numbers dont "exist" as such - they are a man-made concept used to describe the world around us.

Literally everything can be explained in terms of numbers in various levels of detail - walking, running, breathing, eating, etc. All things essential to life - but you are not "using" numbers when you do these things. Neither are you "using" 1s and 0s when you use a computer
