How would you react if the Internet was gone?
« on: May 03, 2008, 04:12:23 PM »
Let's say something catastrophic happens and the Internet is "dead". Permanently. How would u react?

Personally, I can't go a day without going online so i'd probably torture myself  :P or make my own internet system

Would never happen, so absolutely no reason to think about it.

I'd be alright with it. Thankfully I have a life outside of the internet.   :happy:

That's like asking "What would you do if electricity was gone forever?". It just wouldn't happen. Our civilization has come too far.

I might have a problem with it. I get most of my news on the internet. Other than that, I have much more important things that I could be doing. I'd almost appreciate not having the distraction of the internet, which I kind of have, seeing as my main computer is on the fritz.

I assume most of the TWC community would react like this:
