The very thought of no more internet frightens me to death but, seriously, how would we cope in life? In business? In education?
Could we recover as a world society ever again without it?
This will be a big problem! documents that are downloadable will be not accessible anymore most of the companies now and government branches are into internet connection to have the fastest outcome and work. our bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be in big trouble! technology development will be a big mess again. the internet is one if the best invention ever that we can research without the need of encyclopedias!
I think it's pretty safe to say that it would be an absolute nightmare if it was shut down. However, as a few other people have stated, we survived without it before. 20 years ago and I was using a company system - internet wasn't available. Pagers and faxes, the postal system, cabinets full of documents, and the old landline were our means of doing business. So many boxes full of files!!!
