Answer 1

Look at what we wouldn't have:

Light except candlelight

Heat - except burning stuff set on fire by the use of friction

Cars(need batteries)

Computers, TV's(the advertising media -the very basis of our culture- would be decimated)

saws

cranes and other heavy machinery

easily available clothing(the fabric industry wouldn,t exist as we know it)

No facebook or texting-there goes the reason for existence of many!

No phones

No easily accessible water unless you are near a stream

no bridges(need energy to fashion materials)

very limited food - only that which you or someone near you could grow

etc, etc, etc, ......

Answer 2

We could still be okay but would things be different. We would still have a lot of very good steam powered industrial and personal equipment for those who could afford it and who knows how far that could have gone.

Flight and internal combustion personal vehicle would have probable still made it in some form such as diesel powered because gas motors require ignition sparks.

Communications could still be conducted by gov. or private mail carrier but would be slow.

Weeks old newspapers would be the norm in rural areas and of course no air conditioning as we know it today which also shapes where people live at. Houston Tx was once an small city until modern air conditioners gained acceptance.

Sometimes we take for granted running down to the big box store, buying an bunch of junk from China and some grocery's but for all of that to even be doable requires modern communication, electrical lights and an million unseen pieces of the industrial puzzle.

The Amish communities for decades and decades used no electricity. They got up with the sun and went to bed with the sun. They had wonderful lives built around the church, their families and a strong work ethic that kept them out of trouble. Their life was simple, but it was a good life without all the shambles of the plastic life that has developed in the absence of a solid family foundation in developed countries since the 50s.

The pre telegraph methods of signalling such as mirrors, flag semaphore, etc., would have become incredibly elaborate. People would gather in public squares to watch a man wave flags that would say, give play by play of a sports event. In time certain signalmen would gain fame for their style, just like an exuberant flagmen is part of the entertainment at a stock car race.
