Life Without Internet
What Would Life be Like Without the Internet?
An interesting question in an age where the Internet plays an integral part of everyday life, business and society! So what are the implications of a life without the internet?
Well firstly we should ask the question in a more specific circumstance.
What would life be like with no Internet if the ‘plug’ was pulled today?
We’ll be looking at this topic from this angle, rather than trying to imagine the world without the Internet had it never been invented.
Life without Internet – Pulling the Plug on the Internet.
How exactly the Internet Plug could ever get pulled is a complicated question, due to the expansive infrastructure that makes up the Internet. It would probably require the shutting down of every server and local DNS around the world.
Some people have spoken about a major virus infection spreading through all servers and computers, rendering them / the Internet in a paralyzed state.
There is also another wild theory where by the wind generated by huge solar flares will disrupt anything that carries current, from telegraph wires, anything metal, computers, servers etc.
You can read about this theory if you Google “Carrington Event of 1959” This theory is said to be predicted by Nasa.
Life with no Internet – Personal Users
How would having no Internet affect the general personal user? Well apart from every teenager screaming because they can’t log on to Facebook, it all comes down to how much we personally use the Internet and what for.
Some of us hardly use the Internet, where others pretty much live their life around it! Equally some actually live a completely New Life within the Internet like those who useSecond Life.
I asked a few people their initial feelings towards loosing the Internet, here’s what they said;
“So many people use the Internet that if whoever banned it from the world everyone would complain that much and so many people would sue them that they would be forced to put it back on
