EPTIf we are talking about humans always being blind, never developing eyesight, then we would probably have different senses or stronger ones to make up for that fact.

What would happen is probably that since we don't have sight, every other 4 senses will either be enhanced or a new one will be created. Pretty cool idea :D So instead of driving, maybe people just sit on platforms pulled by rope, and when cooking maybe people only use electronics to prepare edibles... weird | ||

Is it, if society, as it is right now, suddenly became blind as a whole magically? Or if we were blind from the start and evolved like this into the state we are, blind? Well, if the former, we're going to need a lot more seeing eye dogs and canes. If the second one, we would have evolved like that for a reason. Perhaps the world is abnormally dark, or we have very acute senses elsewhere, or whatever -- so perhaps that's how we would "see" each other -- by our other senses. The smell, touch, etc. I know this is going to sound a bit perverted, but if we all evolved as blind creatures, touching would be far more frequent and socially acceptable as a means of communication. | ||

Good point, none offense taken, glad none given. But, sometimes it's more about trying out an idea than pure, literal 1-for-1 logic, plus, I can't do anything to make someone else operate without vision. | ||

The problem is food. How do you get it? Can farms keep producing at the same level as before when no one can drive a tractor? Can they get that food on a truck and drive it to the cities and put it in supermarkets for the everyday city-dweller to purchase and eat? It'd be completely impossible to feed the world. Cities would start starving in weeks, rural areas a bit later, and eventually anyone that doesn't personally plant and pick and grow their own food would eventually be left with nothing to eat. Even those folks would have to be lucky. I think you'd have to be an already-blind farmer/grower with an already set up blind-person-worked farm to have any chance in hell to survive, lol. | ||

On a serious note, science experiments will be impossible to conduct, severely limiting human advancement. | ||
