Well, we'd have just had it earlier. And more likely than not, the state of the art tech would be about right where it is now, due to all the mishaps, failures of tech, companies and products. Some things that are popular may not be, products that failed or fizzled might not have. All because they hit earlier rather than later, but since there are no time machines, no way to find out.

Most tech today has been around since before the 80s but it wasn't as small. Boom Boxes and walkmans instead of MP3 players.

If those advances happened three decades ago, logic says we'd be more advanced than we're right now.

In the 80s you could say what if the 80s technology was around in the 50s. 30 years from now you will be able to say the same thing and refer back to 2019.

Thats what makes the moon landings and return even more impressive that they were able to do that in the1960s. Those people were very smart engineers.

What an absolutely pointless question!

Let's see,

The internet would be more polite and respectful and People would abide by the rules. Trolls would be almost non existent.

People would be more personal about posts than they are today. The internet slang wouldnt exist as cb radio truckers made their slang to keep policemen to decipering their slang. Singers of the 80s era would be more distant from their fangroup as today they actually would talk to their fans. 1980s singers and celebs were classist and only stuck to their own kind. They would be hostile and shut down any fan club that they create.

We would have had the same kinds of problems with them as we have now --- only much sooner.
