View Full Version : What if...
Ok, so this was a spam post which I just removed, but I actually think its worthy of a thread lol
Post was
What would you do if the internet crashed for good? Would you get used to life with less communication and less "being connected" or would you be pretty bummed for the rest of your life?This is assuming it was not fixed. Perhaps some largescale EMP attack or something that crippled it for the next 50+ years or so.
Discuss. :d
[edit] My dad rang me the other day to say the Internet had crashed. Roffle etc lol
there was another spam thread that I moved into here, but some retard (I'm gonna go with you for that) must have read the report emails and binned it without paying attention to where it was and what was posted after it lol
not guilty, I haven't read the reported threads for a looong time as my hotmail refuses to load at home :(
I only really check test and articles for spam... or the new and online users list lol
If the internet dissapeared (although that would be quite difficult) the world would be a very different place.
It would destroy companies and there would be job losses and that alone can cause a right mess when on a grand scale!
Don't worry, I have a backup plan of hosting the internet on an old Cyrix 486 under the bed at my mums house lol lol
I don't think we need to worry
I don't think we need to worry
...until your bedroom needs hoovering? lol
rofl, i'd maybe go and build some type of small car with a big engine..... :D

lol lol
I don't live there anymore, unfortunately we've had our own mortgage for about 4 years lol
I would still host the Internet there though in rememberance of the old days, but yes, there would be periods of down time while household chores were dealt with lol

I think I would be quite devestated is the internet went away! Even though I see my friends several times a week we still regularly chat on facebook. I also found some long lost family on facebook which would never have happened if I didnt have the internet. Also i dont think i could cope without online shopping he he

My life would be forked. as draper said would need to pay for porn, music, movies.
I had no tinternet for about 2 hours this morning and was climbing the walls!
I think South Park showed me that no internet would lead to chaos...
and a lack of nasty jap pron

You know I really can't think what the hell I used to do all the time on computers before I had the internet, managed to waste lots of hours on them anyway though.
Its like Die Hard 4.0. What if all comunications everywhere failed?
I'd buy a gun, gather as much Porn as I could and find a tiny cottage on top of a hill, miles from anywhere and shoot anyone that came near me.

That's gross, what would you do with the gun though? haha
I would just carry on.I only come on the internet for this site and Astra OC and sometimes ebay.I never had the internet up until last year so i managed without before so could manage without again.

This is about the Internet, not IT in general. Assuming computers are still around, but without networking capability, there would be a huge demand for IT staff whilst many small companies (or ones that rely on internet orders) would cease to exist.
Economies would slow down, the postal and telecoms services would flourish, people would lose the "I want it delivered yesterday" culture. And if you wanted to get hockey DVDs you'd need to go see the badly shaven smelly tramp with fake london accent down the local market.
But yes, most techy geeks ARE annoying. lol
I can barely work it anyway so TBH i wouldnt miss much really.

WTF! DONT EVEN JOKE! lol
erm reasons id be pi55ed if the internet 'died'
no msn
no work (as i design websites)
no tlking to the misses when i pi55 her off an she dont answer the phone rofl
and most importantly! NO PNG! :eek: how would we live!
95% of scrapyards would be overrun with novas because us nova owners cant communicate when we need bits! lol
erm only reason it would be good is, id get some peace, no 'joe, can you just change a banner, or just edit a page,' lol
