What would happen if personal internet was removed? (1 Viewer)

[JohnnyU]

What would people do with their idol time in airports? Would those that grew up with the internet lose their mind? Fantasy players would go through serious withdrawals, because I don’t think anyone wants to go back to getting stats from newspapers. Would we get a lot more done at home and at work? Would the country be less divided?

If you are sitting and waiting on something I can say with near certainty that 90 out of 100 are looking at their phone. I suppose we would go back to reading newspapers and books.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'd like to tell you the answer but would no longer be able to.

 

[NutterButter]

Do I still have sudoku on my phone? B/c that what I'm frequently playing on my phone when waiting for something in a public place. It really helps to relax me.

Yes, for as long as your phone works, because you will never be able to down load it again and will not be included on future phones.

The UK would riot until Teletext was reintroduced

So, are you saying there are fewer drunks since Al Gore invented the internet?

 

[Chemical X]

7-11 parking lots would be filled with “influencers” looking for work or dates.

I'm not sure what I would do for 8 hours at work.

Offer sacrifices.
Tough to do with all the security though. "Sir, this is my emotional support goat, and I don't want this bowl in my luggage."

 

[PIK95]

Same thing I do now. Read the Wheel of Time, over and over.

 

[The Commish]

Assuming we are talking about smartphones here and not the actual internet....either way, I'd love it. Though, it'd absolutely suck to have to go back to an office again.

 

[NutterButter]

That doesn't count as work internet?

 

[Osaurus]

Swim trunks would be just shorts?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Probably have to look at each other a lot more. Not sure if that would be a good thing.

This I might be able to get down with. Those that aren't spoon fed and do their research:

The internet is much like alcohol.....the cause of...and the solution to a lot of problems in the world.

At one time not so long ago there were these things called books that contained pretty much all of the known intelligence of the whole wide world. They fell out of favor in the 90's and have pretty much disappeared but I'd posit they would make a comeback should the interwebs go the way of the dodo.

No, I'm in IT. The internet I do at work is pretty personal. (Like right now)

Just so I'm clear... would this be American Idol time? Perhaps Billy Idol? I will ponder this while my car idols...

I'm surprised Newspapers aren't extinct by now. They will be soon.

Me too although I'm a physical book guy. I've tried Kindle/Pad and it just doesn't work for me.

As am I. I can't remember the last time I picked one up even at a hotel, not sure how they are surviving other than being mouthpieces for whatever agenda the current owner is pushing.

The first fantasy league I was in, the commish mailed me the stats every thursday. It was a pretty involving league with defensive players.

Would th4 country be less divided? That is a very good question, and I would lean to yes.

Yes, because instead of arguing on the Internet we would be waiting by our mailbox for those updates.
