Wrong.

Language existed before the internet. And will always exist. Programming is important. But not the most important. It's on the same level as every other language out there.

And on top of that, language does not depend on the internet. Internet depends on language.

let's not forget that with most every sheet of paper you read nowdays, the language on the paper wouldn't be there without the language on the circuit board
case in point, you guys would not be talking to me without your computers.. and in an extremely globalized world, interface between members from different countries is extremely important in maintaining a base understanding of their culture reducing hostile, ignorant thoughts about them
I do believe that binary is now the most important language out there.

i could go on and on about the importance of computers from airports to traffic systems to hospitals, but the impulse of electricity / on or off is the used by the widest scope of people for the most number of things

Like I said, to say one is important than the other, is folly and handicapping yourself.

Without the internet, we can still communicate, albeit it takes longer.
Without languages, you wouldn't have any communication at all.

and the question never implied needing to communicate with others, it just said most important, and think of how many things computers are relied on for

Again. I'm stating for the third time. One language is not important than the other. All are equal.

We have lived without computers, and we still can. We cannot live with languages at all.

My most important language is Danish. LOL

considering the human brain is a computer that reads electrical impulses just like the pc u are using, this statement is false.. unless all those famous people who were beheaded over the centuries were able to pull through and survive.

Stop nit picking. You know exactly what I mean, that I meant electronically and not biologically.
