What would your life be like if the internet disappeared tomorrow?

Question

System meltdown ...
I'd be gutted to be honest ...

Yahoo choose to put this in philosophy btw, so philosophy it shall be :-)

Answer 1

It would only close a chapter in my life, I would continue to exist.
I would adapt. Would you?

Answer 2

God, i will be missing you people. I will be missing all the intelligent people. I will surely look for a means to get back. It has been part of my routinary work. If ever, i will be then continue reading my philosophy books. I know the internet will someday get back for it is a very important tool in communication. Internet makes a better alternative in the development of science and technology. It keeps the world smaller. It is the easiest and fastest way of infomation. Surely, i will be sad.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Answer 3

It's strange, but when the Internet isn't working, although I'm disappointed at first - I *can* actually live without it! I just have to find different ways to entertain myself! =)

If it was permanently gone, I would be extremely unhappy but I would get over it eventually - there are other things to do, after all. But I would feel that I was suddenly a lot more restricted! No Googling things, no chatting on MSN, etc. I'd have to actually go out and socialise with people... =( Lol!

Answer 4

I don't depend on the Internet for anything.

I come her to answer questions with the hope it helps someone somewhere. If the Internet disappeared I'd do the same in a different way. Sharing information with people is a very important part of my life.

Answer 5

I would very much miss the Internet, mainly because of the vast highway of information. Before it was introduced, I spent days, weeks and months poring over library books and often was unable to find the information sought. At least not up-to-date info. So it has become a priceless tool for me, something which I scoffed at in the beginning...

Answer 6

I would be lost for about a week and after about 2 months i would have completely forgotten the Internet ever existed.

It is the most important of all the least important things in the world.

Answer 7

i would be devastated.
i adore the internet and i think its the greatest invention of the modern world.
if something happens that i have no knowledge and need to know i just google the word and i discover what its about.
if iam lonely its there, if i want to laugh its there.
i dont need to read the papers, books, it saves trees!
i can communicate with ppl.
i learn loads, its cheap enterntainment.
i can get a wider perspective on everything.

its progress, and i look forward to the future.

Answer 8

I expect my curiosity would have to go unsatisfied and my life would be the poorer but I would be living more in the real world. Most of the questions I needed answered all my life I have already asked. Now to get on with the gardening.

Answer 9

Much more complicated. As a translator, most of my work arrives and is sent by e-mail. On the other hand, if we went back to snail-mail, I wouldn't be faced with impossible deadlines, for instance receiving 2500 words at 7 o'clock in the evening (CET) and being expected to send it by 6.00 am GMT!

Answer 10

I am sure I would adjust. In fact, I have other things to do than to answer questions. There are many books to read. I need to study. I could be watching football. I could be praying for self improvement.

Answer 11

for a person like me whose internet connection goes on and off every few days, i can say that i can adjust very well without it. but i would miss two things a lot, scrapping and chatting with my online friends, and reading online manga(japanese comics).
other than that, i would love to face the real world anytime.
