What would you do if this happened?

The internet goes down for a period of time say 6 months, in what ways would it impact your life?

I just became so uncomfortable thinking about that. I actually can't imagine my life without the internet. I wouldn't be able to talk to my boyfriend, I wouldn't have a job, I wouldn't have any of my pastimes...

@Magnolia you could call him up and talk to him, we have cell phones without the Smartphone features.

@cherokeepatti That's true but it's extremely expensive to call someone's cellphone from across the world and without my internet-based job I definitely wouldn't have the cash!

@Magnolia you can get calling card deals sometimes, but some countries tax the calls so you wouldn't get such a good deal on some

I would probably become more interested in exercising again, read more, do more home cooking, spend time at the library, and do other things before I was ever on the internet.

@SW-User I suspect it'd bring a lot of people outdoors , face-to-face socializing, chores, caught up,maybe even a few hobbies started, etc.

@cherokeepatti Maybe a 6 month break is a good idea after all?🤔

@SW-User might be for some but a lot of people need it for their jobs....I'd probably have to go back to work so the boss could go to auto auctions in person instead of online auctions and other things.

@therighttothink50 I'd be wishing I had archived my stuff, so many recipes that I don't have in cookbooks, tips, health items that I have saved on Pinterest and things I have saved to read. I'd be getting more things done around the house, clean out all the closets, organize the garage, etc. though. It would suck not to be able to order stuff online.
