```

- we would find a mail by **manually** reviewing each subject and sender.

- we would **pay** for software like Picasa, Keyhole (now Google Earth), Sketchup.

- many startups would not exist without Google AdSense, so there would be **less** innovation.

- Opera would still be **shareware** and ad-supported.

- our homepage would be a **portal** , or about:blank.

- our search engines would be **cluttered** , would mix ads with organic results and wouldn’t care about the users.

- we wouldn’t look for a search bar in every site.

- we would think beta software is just for the testers and it’s **dangerous**.

- technology news would be less **exciting**.

There would have been quite a difference!
