If the internet was destroyed, never to be repaired again, how would it affect you and the world?

Yeah it would cause major suckage. I would quickly have to find some new hobbies, maybe going outside for one? On a brighter note I'd never have to listen to that cyrus chick *ears start bleeding*.

hahaha thats great

OT: I'd have to find a new job since i wouldn't be able to run my company's servers with no internet. Then I'd have to rent porn movies at the video store and I'd be pissed that my iPhone would be just a phone.

The world as we know it would crumble. It would literally cleave the economy, ruin global communication and most major industries.

Also, no more porn.
What are hard drives for though?

Serious note... Dull. It would cause untold devestation to communication between people that I would personally experience on a major level. Friends from different cities and countries, hell even schools, would be lost because we wouldn't be able to talk to each other anymore.

Not to mention that I would lose my forum RP! THE HUMANITY!

Oh, and gaming would suck since there would be no multiplayer anymore.

And studying and research would be a *****...

The more I think about this, the more I realize how much of an impact it has on my life...

Scary...

On a large scale, there would be widespread panic. But eventually we'd all have to go back to living like we did before the mid-90's, which isn't really that terrible when you think about it. Though it would really suck to actually have to go to stores to buy things, and the news would be a bit harder to follow.

For me though, I'd hate it. We gamers would have to go back to buying games without really knowing anything about them. And no more online gaming...that would stink.

I'd also try and motivate people to donate money to "The Grid" so it goes up faster. "The Grid" is basically The Internet version 2. Then, when that goes up, it'd be okay.

Also, I might be remembering it wrong. It might not be called "The Grid."
Kinda makes it hard to get behind your cause there, no?

Anyway, no internet would mean using the phone again, and maybe even visiting my family. Emails and IMs with them are traumatic enough. I don't think I'm strong enough to actually visit them.

I'd go back to using primitive items such as televisions for entertainment and "paper" for "typing things out"

Well, the global economy would completely collapse, so that'd kind of affect everyone. We'd eventually adapt, but there would be widespread panic and things would be extremely difficult for quite a long time.

Never to be repaired again? I can tell you, unless there's a nuclear holocaust going on, the internet would get repaired in days; it's too important nowadays. So I'd just chill for a while.

I would have to *gasp* go outside!

It's a scary place out there, but I would have to risk it...
There are bears out there.

Bears that are in dire need of getting their asses wrestled into submission.

...

I'll be.. uh.. right back. Where the fuck is Radeonx when you need him...

OT: Life itself would change dramatically. No more shopping online! D:
Meaning I have to meet the store-clerk's judgmental stare to obtain my anime. :l
which is why I prefer buying at conventions or specific places that sells it and games the clerks don't give you a look (well at the store I go to)

oh the topic right
O.T. well I guess I lose some of my circle of friends irl but I can cope with it my friends can get in some wacky situations

I'd mourn the loss of Steam, but I'll rejoice over the complete destruction of Internet Porn and Hentai.

Loads of people would die. No, seriously, they would. So many systems rely on the internet that removing it will break some vital ones. Personally, I'd probably go insane with boredom or become a sheep farmer or something, because, within walking distance of here, there are...

about 50 people (most of them retired)

lots of fields

a church

a pub/indian restaurant

that is absolutely all I would have to entertain myself, since I can't drive.
