It doesn't matter to me what happens to the whole world as long as I have my PC working fine. I would miss the internet for a while I think but with so many people in the world I think if everyone does a bit for it. We can get it back. In fact in a recent research a lot of people tried to bring the internet down (testing for immunity) the maximum anyone can do is to bring it down for a few hrs or maybe couple of days.

If the internet went down.
I would wonder why it went down, call my service provider and give them 48hrs to put it back up or they would pay for my next months bill.

If Phones and all communication went down.
I would be like damn and go out side and work on my 46 willys jeep.
its very far from being done.

If all of the above happened.
I would do number one and number two. Its good to get outside kids, I
recomend it once in awhile.

wcgator - your comment made me think. canute24 - you gave me a point. accidents -disasters naturally happen and as fact- the recent Tsunami in the east lately.
but the saying goes that "life - must go on" + "a good ending in a movie - means that all is well".
as life goes on for the victims of the late Tsunami - their life now evolves of building their homes and their defence system -stronger and better. if the internet will fall - milions of people - will find another means of global communications. rest assured - Bill gates is not giving up - on his "domain"yet.
keeping busy in rebuilding for your future - will do good.

if the phones fall down? - sure , there was a time - 140 years ago - without them. so - somebody invented and others -developed it. if no phones functioning - someone will invent a "gadjet" for communication/learning/teaching by remote-controll.

if both communications fail at same time, what then?
Murphy's law sais:"if something can get wrong - it will(get wrong).
in hebrew, we Jews - have a rabi, a Hassidic rabi - Nachman me-Uman sais:"those who believe he(the Lord above)can make something wrong -should believe he(same)can mend it.
I believe that the Lord is not yet bored with whatever people do or fail to do - fact is he's creating millions of people more eachgeneration.

the nature of holding on to your hopeful side - is part of the nature of the lor(something rom me to you).

[leiaah]

I survived 12 years without knowing the internet and 16 years without a cellphone so i think I'll manage just fine. I agree with Canute24. If it would really happen it won't take very long for man to restore it or replace it. By then I'll just have to wait and see what these geeks come up with since I'm not too handy when it comes to computers.

[Triple X]

I would kill myself o.o.....nah probably just play PS2 offline, for hours...and hours..........nothing new sept the offline part >.>

1: I would call my girlfriend to come over..

1. If the internet went down.

I would check my DLINK Router first and then head on down to my DSL Modem. If that DSL Modem is not responding? I will turn it off and on again and if DSL Modem is still not responding I will check the phone line. Plug the phone line into my 56K and dial away. LOL

2. If Phones and all communication went down.

It would never surprise me at all. I would probably start using snail mail to deliever my email.

3.If all of the above happened...

Well if the internet went down i would listen to the radio or even try to fix my car. i would also spend alot of time outside and i would work more often. ( the internet here went down lastnight due to a snow storm)

If phone and all communication went out i would care. i dont talk on the phone. and if i wanted something i would walk to my friends house or drive my Dads truck.

if all the above happend i would do everything i mentioned above. and maybe some extras. play games, walk, run, jog, drive, work on my car, go to work

[eiteljoh]

i guess i'd be completely bored. the other day a tornado hit, and lost power for 2 days. it was wierd, because i actaully met some of my neighbors that i never met before, etc, because we were all sitting around outsize (much too hot inside) looking for something to do. in some ways, i think like would be much more normal without the modern conveniences that we have now.

maybe i was born way to late !!

1. If the internet went down.

well this has happened to me. hasnt in a while but something got messed up with my isp. nothing worked. i did mostly what i did before. if the weather is nice, id go out somewhere. maybe go see a movie, play some sports, or just meet up with some friends.

2. If Phones and all communication went down.

Well, if the person was close enough, i would just drive there. If not, i guess i would just use regular mail, unless that went down too.

3.If all of the above happened...

Well it wouldnt be that bad. Back in the day people had no internet and no cell phones or regular phones. its not like it would be the end of the world... well for some people may be... but not me.

1. I would be so sad!!! Lol, no I would just be bored for while.
2. I would become socialy depressed and cry. lol No, I would not care, I don't use the phone or anything very often...
3.I would be bored and nothing if they both happened.

[snlildude87]

If the internet went down, I wouldn't do anything drastic because I don't rely on it a lot, but if the internet as a whole went down, then I'd be sad because then I'd actually have to do work instead of procrastinate.

I survived without the internet for three weeks, so I think I'll manage to do something else while I wait.

[Sprnknwn]

Interesting extreme situations...


1. If the internet went down.

I´ll get a little angry but I´ll wait... what else could I do. Probably I would turn on the TV, see that nothing´s worth there, read a comic, book, magazine and listen to music (I´m always listening music).


2. If Phones and all communication went down.

I wouldn´t care too much... as long as I´m in a city and can communicate with people by speaking. Only wait and do the things I´ve said above.


3.If all of the above happened...

Suicide is a good option But I think, these strange times, for example when electricity goes off are good for discovering our real nature and discover that the man is a social animal and needs to keep contact with other humans constantly.

[chiclete]

1. If the internet went down.

I'm sure I won't read any book... I hate reading... I would go out with my friends... I can't say with my girlfriend because I have just broken up with her .... I would play soccer... go to the beach... where I live (Brazil) it's very hot and today it has done a nice sun... that's why I'm going to the beach tomorrow

2. If Phones and all communication went down.

I don't use phones... Only my cellphone o.0... I can live without it for a few days

3.If all of the above happened...

I would go back to the dark ages

[dundun2007]

Well first of all i could not even imagining this happen but if this did occur.

1. The Internet went down.

Interesting, first i would keep trying to connect to the internet even though i know its down just so i could understand what was happening. Then i would just go watch t.v til i heard something about it. I dont use the internet that much but when i need to check something and its not there, then we have quite a problem.

2. The Phone Communication down.

Well, this is not much of a problem either. I guess i cant have food delivered to me and people cant call me telling me to pay my bills so no problem there. My cell phone is the only thing that excludes me from all that and its ok if i didnt have that for a few days.

3. If both went out

This has happened to me before. Anyone remember the blackout of 2001? Where michigan and the rest of the east sides power was all gone. Well that was me, no air conditioning in the summertime, no water, phone, electricity. It was rough to get past i admit that. All i did was drive to a place that did have power and stayed at the hotel there for a week. Though before i went to the hotel i had to live in these conditions for about 4 days, which i would have to say was not good for anyone.

Moral of this story is, if they both went out for a little while theres no problem with that. More than a couple weeks then we start to have a problem. If it was out forever i guess i would have to adjust somehow and get through it. The people thousands of years ago did i guess we all can, or can we?

1. If the internet went down.

If it just went down lcoally, I'd go read a book or something.
If it went down world-wide, and was down for more than 2 days... I'd start tearing into my ISP

2. If Phones and all communication went down.

I'd play video games to keep me sane.

3.If all of the above happened...

Doesn't number 2 technically involve the internet going down too?

Communications can never completely go down unless they find someone to shut everyone in the world up at the same time taking away our ability to speak. But the other means such as the internet, phone, and mailing system went down we probably have bigger problems at hand then worrying about that and would need to focus on that first then worry about the other stuff. I wouldn't stress to much as it would just take me back to the days of Pencil & paper RPG's like Dungeons and Dragons stuff like that woot. Remember those days lol.

[Cif]

1_ i'll get very angry, but i can wait. Take my car and go out.
2_ if telephone don't work, no problem. I don't use it so much
3_ OMG!!! i have to find something to do...

[OwrLam]

People, let's to live amicably.... =)

[dontmaimyourself]

well I probably wouldnt be that concerdened I mean of course i'd miss the internet but I'm sure there are plenty of other things to do (possibly) I just never get the cahnce to do any of them because i spen so much time on the internet. on second thought that would be bad really bad like killing spree bad.

[Solar]

1. If internet went down - Call my ISP and use the bomb threat

2. If phones and communication were down - Videogames!

3. If all that happened - Crack up and hum the ABC Song, rocking back and forth.
