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.
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 use Second Life.
Life without Internet – Communication
We use the Internet to communicate more than ever and it’s
become an integral part of any standard means of
communication. So with no Internet our means of communication
would have to adapt. I very much doubt we’ll be sending smoke
signals, but letters would fulfil the hole e-mails left and phones
would fulfil the gaps that instant messaging, chat and social
media created.
An increase in posted mail and phone calls would surely benefit
our local postal services and telephone network providers, but
what we loved about the Internet was that communication was
free!
So it’s a possible exaggeration to assume we’d all crack out the
pens and paper, start licking stamps and calling
everyone we know. Further more we would
probably resort to basics, that remain free
and simply go ‘talk’ to friends and family.
Life without the Internet – Effects on
Business
Almost all businesses nowadays have some relationship with the Internet
whether it’s a SIMPLE BUSINESS listing or an online store. What implications
would be put upon businesses across the world with the loss of the Internet?
Perhaps world wide recession, STOCK MARKETS would collapse, millions of
businesses go bust and millions of people loose their jobs?
The impact on businesses that utilise the Internet would be massive and the
make or break factor would be if they could survive without it?
But there may be some advantages amongst this devastation; as consumers
we’d probably start BUYING locally, enriching our local towns and shops.
We’d look for local services and sustain local economies by trading within our
immediate areas.
The loss of jobs that relate to Internet Business would be hard to digest. Jobs
at our local super market working the tills would suddenly be in high demand
as well as many other jobs that don’t directly relate to the Internet.
Socialising – Can our Youth socialise without
the Internet?
Many of us use the Internet to communicate, especially those in the
lower age brackets above 10 years. From email to chat forums, social
networks, dating sites and even virtual worlds our demands on the
Internet for social communication and networking are huge. So it’s
easy to anticipate that a life without the internet would force people
to turn back to grass roots and socialise and communicate on a very
basic level.
My worry with this though, specifically within the lower age brackets is
will the people who’ve grown up with the Internet around them be
able to embrace social engagement on a grass roots level and know
how to socialise?
Would our ability to meet new people outside
our immediate area be severed and thus
affecting who we meet, socialise and
Interact with and above all whom we
spend our lives with?
Access to Information & Resources cut
We all know the Internet is a massive resource directory, full of useful
and useless information, all beautifully at our finger tips. So without it
where would we find out the chemical compound of silver, or the world
record time for eating After eights?
Books! Quite simply, we’d resort back to the old school principle of
reading books from libraries. It would definitely be harder finding the
equivalent information that the Internet can provide in your local library
but if you think about it the Internet basically took the concept of a
library and expanded it by about a million times!.
Life without the Internet – Conclusion
Above all we have to remember we got to where we are
today without the Internet. The Internet was a technological
advancement that excelled us into the 21st century and changed the
way we socialised, did business and purchased goods.
It paved the way to the future and still has many exciting
advancements ahead of it’s self. Witnessing the loss of the Internet
is probably very unlikely, but either way I’m quite sure as a human
race we’d adapt and persevere as we have done for thousands of
years.
Those who grew up with the Internet well established around them
simply can’t comprehend life without it. There are however many of
us who practiced life before it’s time and have experienced a life
without the Internet.
