What Would Happen If the Internet Went Down ... Forever?

No memes? Nooooooo..............

Never mind the personal inconveniences it would cause. If the internet went down permanently there would be more problems than people seem to realize. Some of these problems might be overcome with time but just think about everything we take for granted that is done via internet. The power grids are controlled over the net to a degree, grocery stores order their stock by the net, including fuel, truck lines use the net to coordinate loads pick up and deliveries. This country would be in bad shape at least for a period of time if the net went down. Am I wrong?

Lived without it for 40 years and don’t need it today. It would be fun to watch the cellphone, Twitter, FB addicts melt down then try and figure out what to do when they sit down at a restaurant.

As handy as the internet is for some things I firmly believe it is the cause of a lot of the problems we have today.

What....? But how would people complain without twitter? How would they share what "important" things they are doing without FB? How would they make "friends" without social media?

Guess those encyclopedias that my parents bought just went up in value! Not a big deal - lived without it before. Sometimes I think we'd be better off without it too........

I was just thinking about how the internet has helped in a whole lot'a ways . I know it's done harm in a whole lot's ways too. Thinkin on guns alone ; it's put gun swindlers in their place for the most part

You are not and the company I worked for would cease to exist.

I'd be upset if it went away permanently. How would I neckbeard my guns and stuff? Gun shows? Oh Lord. My nose can't handle the smells of that all the time.
