Do you think it'll do the world some good if the internet gets shuts down for even just a while?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

No exceptions...

The WHOLE WORLD would lose any ability to use the internet & texting...

Leaving us with phone calls, faxing, television, radio & actual one-on-one conversations, the way it was before the World Wide Web, smart devices, GPS, social media came to fruition.

Too much bickering.

Too much exposure.

Too much hacking.

Trolls

If that happened, I would definitely just start drawing, painting, or perhaps play the guitar. I unfortunately don't have much of a social life, not since I've started refraining on my own, so I guess a few indoor hobbies will do me good for a while.
I could always go for a usual hike.

[SiriusA]

Oh, and Yes, I forgot to add that, haha

[JimRSmith]

Possibly, yes.

The Internet is too much of a wild West for my liking, in many ways. It's empowering all kinds of people who frankly shouldn't be empowered.

[JimRSmith]

Thanks for MHO

[DeeDeeDeVour]

You're welcome. :)

[sjoes006]

I think so. I love going to places where my phone doesn’t get reception. I used to love that my cell didn't work in Europe and I could only access the internet at the hotel.

I like newspapers and books and talking to people. Lolz

[sjoes006]

Thanks for the vote and question.

[Secret6620]

Absolutely. It will be hard at first but we will adjust and adapt to build better connections with other people😊🖤🤙

[Secret6620]

Thanks for mho 💗

[DeeDeeDeVour]

You're welcome. :)

[MrNameless]

I honestly don't know.. Because nowadays businesses, especially developed countries, rely on the internet to do their business. Meetings, connecting with clients, office work, gathering and storing data stored in the cloud, etc..

The world would lose billions of dollars easily. So from an economic standpoint, it wouldn't be that great

[WhiteSteve]

Ahhhhh... it was called...”THE 90s”

Honestly, the internet and social media has made the world smaller and everyone is interacting... and I think it just took a couple decades for it to dawn on us what a bunch of colossal assholes we all are.

[PrincessGrail]

Then u wouldn't be able to use the name DeeDeeDeVour...

[DeeDeeDeVour]

:D Hee hee! :)

[angstySyn]

The world has been with the internet and all social media platforms for so long, without it society will eventually go brutal and boring to some. So to answer your question, it depends how long its gerring shut down for

[cheekylad]

Well I grow up in the 80 we play out all the time Couse we did not have thres things ie Xbox Google mobile phone we spoke more and ment more. what fun we had

[ROCKS128]

Definitely.
Very effective.
But also very small amount.

[namelessyoungold]

No. I strive for knowledge. I'd get hella bored if I couldn't learn stuff daily. I'd become even more crazy very fast.

[zagor]

The airlines would be overwhelmed with people making phone reservations.

[LtJackass]

Ah, yes. What I'll could come from shutting down the most vital infrastructure on the planet?

[BlkGamer]

No a bunch of the world would stop that would cause mass chaos

[TeenMale15]

Probably. Yeah. Like 1 or 2 days a week of no internet.

[legalboxers]

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Lol!

[legalboxers]

[Casper1227]

No, because then my husband woukdnt be able to do his job

[AilsaGourly]

Probably but I don't want to find out

[AilsaGourly]

Patient needs immediate surgery but they don't have the right medicine so they try to email the next nearest hospital but they can't becuase someone turned off the Wi-Fi

[NerdInDenial]

No, it would do more harm.

[jojouzumaki]

[Rundown]

It'd shut trump up, at least

[CoffeeWC]

Depends how long

[Nikkiyogi79]

I think people would riot.

[grega239]

Good? Mental breakdowns all over the place
