Thread: What would happen if the Internet died?

....... and could not be resuscitated?

A lot of blokes on here would go into meltdown.

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?

No, they'd go back to sending letters and faxes.

Kingwilly would have to get a life.

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.

All the internet warriors would have no where to fight becoming extinct

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...

I saw a movie where that happened. You end up pushing a shopping trolley down a post apocalyptic highway, or fortifying your village form marauders or something...

Guessing your family are in U.K

I never used to phone my daughter or family from Thailand as it was to expensive but they used to phone me every weekend.

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.
