How Will A Life Without The Internet Affect You?

[Lilkhayrus]

Life without the internet is pretty hard to discuss. We use the internet for virtually everything in our lives, even for connecting with those around us. So, what would happen if the internet suddenly vanishes?
You wake up every morning and start your routine which, for most of us, includes catching up on updates. Whether it regards your friends, celebrities, sports, or current events, it usually begins on your smartphone, computer or your tablet.

Even on your commute, you’ve got a podcast or internet radio station going. Once at work, you’re sending emails, video conferencing, researching, and sending a few texts to friends.

Generally, the internet affects us positively and negatively. For example, some people have access to pornography, cyber bullying and other violent exposure which in return cause some misbehaviors in the society.

Positively, we learn a lot from the internet ranging from programming skills, video editing, logo making and many more from sources like Udemy and other tutorial platform.

So the question is, what would be your reaction if you wake up one day and discover there's no Internet.

I'd miss talking to you guys and finding motorcycle parts on ebay but other than that no change really, in short I could live without it no problem.

Id have to buy porn mags again

Imagining trying to force my little brother to do that for me again now that he's 40.

Well, it would be like my childhood except I would know it use to exsist. I use to use the internet, I still do, but I use to too.

Socialize, speak, interact with one another?
Read and comprehend, with a proper book?
Look outside oneself?

Can you imagine?

I wouldn't be able to do my online banking,or keep in touch with my net friends...but I could remedy that by calling them on my phone,and I would have to pay my bills and send them by snail mail..yes I could live without the net most defiantly.

I often go out without any sort of device on my person, it's quite liberating and pretty awesome being left the fuck alone.

I don't use mobile phones, I don't use Fakebook or Twatter or any of those "Big Yerself Up" fucking things. I just do shit and I'm happy enough to carry on doing shit. If the World ran out of electricity I could still carry on doing shit, too many people are way too reliant on shit that you don't need your hands or brains for, ok you might need your fingers to press keys but if there is no electricity your fingers would become redundant apart from picking your nose or scratching your fucking arse.

When I am on vacations abroad, I usually dont use it.

finding motorcycle parts on ebay

Fuck yes this. Internet changed the way I shop. Especially for motorcycle and car parts. No more getting fucked in the wallet for OEM, or scrounging at a wreckers, it's all aftermarket and secondhand shit.

I sometimes imagine if there was some sole surviving armaggedon type situation and everything shuts down and just as everything powers down forever you see a person being kept alive by some internet connected back pack on its wheelchair. this person in the wheelchair is the only other person alive, but you can keep them alive just by using regular fire bellows through the nozzle in their neck. You need a companion right... but you also need to sleep.

Aside from that, Id be fine without the internets. I read hundreds of books and I suppose having to go to the bank and use cash and shops would be annoying , but manageable

^^ Fuck me that was deep man

 

[mrln]

done it before and i could do it again. wouldnt be any be anything new for me. as previously mentioned,shopping aspect would suck again. being stuck in traffic and not knowing why,will suck again and all the other informative things in an instant. oh and spell check. then again,i think my grammar would be better because id look it up.
on the other side,wouldnt have to worry so much as identity theft the way you need to today. and people prying into your personal life wouldnt be as easy either. sometimes i think the negative outweighs the positive. the government wouldnt be able to know as much as they do now either. and them little scan cards for "discount purchases" can suck a dick too. maybe they would bring telephone booths back. ..

You have no IRL Friends, Nigger 👍🏿

I won’t have to bash my head against a brick wall every time I read a post from @Janine
So, that’s a good thing..

 

[McM]

I don't use a smartphone or social media/Netflix but I couldn't log in to my military simulations/games anymore, they all run on Steam now.
And no GG would suck too.

The rest is neglectable.
