This clever post from Email Marketing Reports blogger Mark Brownlow gives numerous examples of how the Internet would have affected the Roman Empire. According to Brownlow’s depiction, Nero would not have fiddled — or tweeted — while Rome burned. He would have played video games. “Rome burns to the ground while Emperor Nero battles online with Hakkar the Soulflayer in World of Warcraft,” Brownlow wrote.
