Do you think people would open their eyes and become more neighborly? Would it free people to actually talk to their friends, go to actual events in person? Or is everyone already entrenched too far?
And yes its ironic im posting this online. However I like to think of how the world would react if we could disable the internet for a few months. Besides the chaos of banking and airlines, I think it would be a net positive on humanity.
Until then, ill go back to being mostly disconnected on weekends. Its great.
That’s rough. Don’t wanna go outside, lots of armed masked men outside.

Probably just have to to get a bunch of DVDs and actually get a DVD player that works since the old one is filled with dust and broken. (Or is it a “BluRay” these days?)
I’m probably gonna have to get ham radios, without the internet, there would be a lot more traffic, so I’d probably have to get comfortable using my voice. Probably get a shortwave radio so I get get foreign broadcasts. TV also needs to be replaced.
I’d have to get like actual encyclopedias.
Honestly, it’d be a pain. No piracy is gonna make things cost too much. I doubt Libraries would even have them since they’d all be loaned out.
TLDR: It’d suck, very fucking much.
