If entire Internet system went down for a month ....

ringadingding

What do you think would happen after a month of everything to do with the Internet went down without warning. I'm talking email, skype, facebook, everything that is electronically communicated apart from telephones.

I've still got a decent stash of porn mags hidden, so I'm safe on that front.

Imagine the other consequences though ...

FoxT

fapping levels would fall by about 99%...

ntlbell

A large increase in the population,strange men in cars back hanging around primary schools, increase in FHM sales and a return to the "victorian" internet. good times.

Yeah porn mags can't care for your every whim. I knw escort reader wives will bore me after the first few tugs.

... chaos reigns!

Using Fax machines, having to buy newspapers ...

Aldebaran

Not to worry, I downloaded the internet a few years ago. I'm sure I could just re-upload it.

Daroxtar

We might actually get something done

starbelgrade

I already know what would happen.

I've seen the South Park episode.

Badgermonkey

Trolls would revert to having their letters to the editor go unpublished

liah

I'd reckon we'd all revert back to the 80's.

Tar.Aldarion

I'd go outside and make my own left for dead

Mrmoe

Wailing and gnashing of teeth. It is probably the one piece of infrastructure I couldn't cope without, everything else you can find a way around eventually such as water and electricity.

I'm gonna start creating a back up version now in my shed, I'll roll it out when this one goes on the blink.

Ctrl+c right?

The downloading vs streaming argument will finally be settled.

KeithM89_old

My Porn only hard drive would probably overheat within a few hours...

We'll have to settle for poking random people in the street, shouting out our status updates, lifting up cats and stapling badly spelled captions on to them and actually doing proper research in a library instead of googling everything.

How would you do that? Where would you get the money? And where would the news companies get their information? And how would they print the papers?

I'm pretty sure people could buy newspapers before the Internet, I've even seen them in old movies ;-)

But if we don't treat the internet with

b.o.m.d.a.s.

if the internet goes off i will look for real people to play poker with, (5 card draw only)

OutlawPete

All the energy I put into fapping would be directed to other areas and so no doubt I would become a millionaire or something.

God, I still hope it never it happens though.

But then once the month is over and the internet is back, all your money will be dwindled away on those paid porno sites.

Pauleta

Coppers would be jammers every night of the week

As long as they dont lose it, we should be fine

There would be such a catastrophe on Earth that it would dwarf that which exterminated the dinosaurs 64 millions years ago. Mankind could cease to exist.

i dont think the internet is all its cracked up to be

Creamy Goodness

I'd just head out Californee way, I here there's some Internet out that way.

old_aussie

People would spend large amounts of time standing in a queuet to get money out of the bank, and then spend large amounts of time standing in a queue to pay bills.

Lust4Life

there would be no dirty dishes waiting in my sink..... I would leave the house and spend money and boost the economy.
What a concept!

Workplace productivity would rise 10,000 percent

papajimsmooth

Id probably just hit f5 for a whole month whilst complaining about eircom

af_thefragile

I'ld actually be so gald!

I can finally get to read all those books lying on my shelf that I bought to read but never really got to.

Actually I'ld love for something as such to happen. I really waste too much time on this damn thing!!

Opinicus

RobitTV

i have Books and annuals that i never really got to Read, i spend a lot of time on the internet its just so addictive when you get into it, And it just takes over alot of spare time, so maybe it can be turned off for a day or 2, i think it wouldnt be the worst idea, Get people to read books that they never got time to read. Only around 10 years ago, Kids and most teenagers would be sitting in front of the tv With the whole family, watching a show, Thats what i was doing anyway, The internet wasnt as popular then, and sitting at the table eating dinner. 10 Years on its different These days young kids to old pensioners use A Laptop,Computer,Ipod,PSP, Anything That can acsess the internet, and i rarely see Familys sitting down watching TV Anymore its quite sad. But thats the reality today. Computers and internet are the Future! And i think being turned off for 1 or 2 days isnt bad at all.

fergiesfolly

We'll say goodbye to all the people on the internet, that we don't really know and we'll never actually meet and start talking to the people we live next door to

Star Bingo
