- 2. Many gadgets and electronic devices play an important part in our lives. Some of them became vital. A big amount of people find it hard to imagine their lives with no cell-phones or without the tv. I would not be able to live without the internet. Ever since i have learned how to use the internet, it is almost impossible for me to get along without it. First of all, since I am a student, I do not have the time to watch the news programs on tv. I use the net for that purpose. I have found it possible to read specific articles that I was intersted in without buying the whole newspaper.
- 3. Moreover, most of my communication with my teachers and collegues is done by emails. I need this device in order to write them a letter, build my working scheule. In some cases I use the internet to reach different kinds of information. I usually look for information about medicine, films. It is hard to find this information elsewhere. In addition, i have friends who lives in other states.. We had found it hard to commnicate by post since it took a lot of time for letters to arive to ones house. Talking on the phone is almost impossible due to the time difference. The internet was the perfect solution for us. We send pictures, emails, these actions are complete by a couple of seconds To sum up, the internet is a vital device in the lives of many people. I am defenetelly one of those people. It seems so hard to imagine how people could live without it before. It is even harder to understand how many people live without it today.
- 4. WHAT WOULD LIFE BE LIKE WITHOUT THE INTERNET? These days its hard to imagine the 'unthinkable' of life without the Internet, yet there are many who have grown up without the reliance and dependance upon it. How would todays society fare without the Internet, if it suddenly collapsed or 'went off-line'?
- 5. 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.
- 6. 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.
- 7. 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.
- 8. 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.
