       Would you be screwed if the Internet stopped working? Could you cope if it went down for an hour? A day? A week? For ever?

       @CriticalCupcake If the Internet as a whole stopped working for everyone it would be bad for a lot of things, from communication to travel to industry to infrastructure, and in ways both obvious and not obvious. A permanent network outage worldwide would be disruptive on a scale that is hard to even imagine, and the disruption probably would only be ended by rebuilding the Internet, from scratch if need be. This isn’t because of physical/psychological addiction, mind you; it’s because technology and society have both become highly dependent on digital interconnectivity to function, and the alternatives to it that we know of all tend to be worse in various ways.In short: everyone would, for at least the next decade, if not far longer, be royally screwed.
