....... and could not be resuscitated?
A lot of blokes on here would go into meltdown.:rolleyes:
No one would respond to your post.
But there is no "The Internet".....But, if a magic genie came along and broke it there would be an immediate worldwide recession followed by a boom in new tech..
I would have a cheaper phone bill and the price of my shares in Australia post would go up.:)
You wouldnt want to be holding bitcoins
On-line poker players would be looking for a new job. Oh wait they now don't have a real job....
Everyone would dust off that 56kb Dial up modem and start using Bulletin Boards again.
:)
The comeback of porn mags.
no more piggin Candy Crush invites
The Nigerian economy would adapt
We'd all go back to watching Thai soaps?
Families would become families again.
Kids would become active again.
God, could you imagine paying to watch movies again?:rolleyes:
No, they'd go back to sending letters and faxes.Quote:

In keeping with hypothetical fashion, why not ponder about other related electronic gadgetry - if all ceased to exist tomorrow.

Real communication and connections might be revived - or not.Quote:

Might happen soon. All it would take is a strong coronal mass ejection headed this way. Sure would stop a lot display swiping in a hurry!
i'd probably never speak to my family again.
i'd probably start visiting lower sukhumvit...

My wife had a phone with a Vectone sim card that she used to phone her family back in Thailand when we were in the U.K,1p a minute!
I gave that one to my Mother and brought my daughter the same. Great Value :)
Skynet will take over and I will be sent back in time to knob Linda Hamilton and destroy Arnie.
knowing my luck, i would get knobbed by arnie, amd destroyed by hamilton....Quote:

I would have half as much work to do. Bring it on.
How the fuck am I going to get My shopping done.
Waitrose, on line shopping, I would starve if I went online, Jesus The Wife Just purchased a Catfish from Thailand In England today.
Gardening would get done, people would play sport and go jogging, young people would observe their environment rather than twittering & posting selfies on facebook, totally self absorbed. Awful stuff.
Thats true, sabang, We would think of more productive ways of amusing ourselves, like we used to on out early years,
can you remember that far back, mate? I can almost.
I can, but fading mammaries. Damn, I used to play marbles.
Until you lost them?Quote:

Well Chas,
I don't mind admitting that I would be absolutely fuked if the Internet died.
Especially for my travels as I do all my research on line, obtain first hand info and recommendations, book all my airfares at a very hefty discount , pay all my bills, keep in contact with distant friends and all my direct debits are recorded on line for my viewing.
I simply could not imagine being without the Internet long term.
OH yes, I could not interact with all the top punters on Teakdoor and post up my lovely picture threads.
Tragic that EH. :rolleyes:
Plus I could not put shit on mad uncle " ENT ".
I'd hate that. :)
I would be pissed off and very, very bored.
Crime would go up. People would have to face each other. Our energy problems might be over, we might have enough for other things. Attention spans would start growing again. Adults and children would stop taking as much medicine. Radio would come back along with roller skating nightclubs. People wouldn't be thinking about things on the other side of the world as much. Newspapers would come back and more mom and pop coffee shops would pop up. Corporations would lose their grip. The tech gurus would be poor again. Just depends on how much tech we lose, just the net or computers and the rest of it.
^ Merely the net... Bite your tongue.
You'd lose all banking functions and quite possibly billions of dollars of transfers would be lost. Traffic lights, GPS, warehouse ordering systems, immigration departments, emergency services etc would cease to function.
Much of modern life depends on the Internet. If Al Qaeda could take out a satellite or two it would make 9/11 look like kindergarten.
Al Gore would blame it on global warming. But we wouldn't know.
