If the entire global internet suddenly collapsed and stayed down... I think the US and most modern countrys would be totaly messed up and would have major social / political problems to say the least... It would probably put the world and the US into a situation worse then the old great depression fast. Laws would no longer be applyed to the Govs they would probably have total control over everything at that point because so much of a riot would happen in the following days. And im not a pestimistic person.

A lot of people would be quite unhappy and stressed out.
Many people will be a little troubled.
And some people won't care a bit.
And if you mean, what would happen if internet never returned: we would have to go back to phone, letters, fax, television and radio again to get our information.Things would go slower, the whol world would slow down a bit. Actualy a rather nice thought, isn't it?

Nothing would happen except youngsters would go out and play for a change instead of vegging in front of the PC and
the family would have more quality time to spend together!

Not a lot.
Some businesses would lose a few quid, some would lose a lot, many folks would lose their jobs....
Many people would lose savings.....
The world would carry on as before.........
remember the internet has only become big in the last few years, although their is a lot of money stored in online accounts, that money would still exist on computer systems but it would be inaccessible to me and you.

The same thing that happened when the millennium bug destroyed the world in 2000. Oh wait, that's right, nothing happened!

Then Royal Mail could put prices up and keep all their staff happy and no-one would have a leg to stand on.
I would be pretty bored, but it wasn't so long ago we had fulfilling lives without internet. I am sure we could think of something....

the world actually might be a better place
people would find new things to replace the internet
people would get more exercise
there'd be less obesity
US's life expectancy would rise by at least 3 or 4 years

Nothing we lived with out it for millions of years even in the 80's and the 90's it wasn't THAT big. I think we could probably survive.. as long as you have real friends and a real life...

people will get out more and the obesity rate will drop drastically.
no more internet predators pretneding to be 16 year old girls.
no more online RPG's and a lot less porno in the world,so more single virgin people will get out, get a life, and get laid.
The post office will get more business, therefore more jobs are available, and the homeless rate will also drop

Businesses, governments, and societies would fail. Most of all, millions of people would have a life!
