Indeed the Internet is a great thing that I do not think I could be missing! It is true that at first I steal the amazing possibilities of information and communication, but after a while I regained control. I met people very special to me that nature and method of communication that I was fascinated by the law! We have access to stunning with a simple clik on quality music, famous actors, a site with all the poets and their poems, famous composers, information concerning legislation, newspapers ... ... .. No, we can not return time and it's good that way!

The Internet is crucial to manny people for a variety of reasons, it could be for entertainment, education, research, work, communication. The possibilities are endless. And the Internet connects not just people, but entire groups of people all at once! It would indeed be hard to imagine a life without the Internet, although, looking back, that was the kind of life that people led a decade or so ago.

If the internet disappeared that would stink. That would be worse then losing cable tv for me. This is funny because south park did an episode where the internet quit working for everybody. The whole town was panicing on the show.

I would have no source of income if that happens! One day without internet is already a boring day, there's nothing you can do but get tired watching tv. Plus, with internet,the easiest communication with your friends and families is gone..We'd be back with sending snail mails rather than emails. Life would be hard for anyone, and it's crazy!

just imagine a world withought electricity. I recently had 2 days withought electricity and it was quite boring but it was also a problem because I do my schoolwork on a computer (laptop) and it was running out of batteries so work wise it was not going like I wanted it too. The main problem was that I had to do a group project and withought internet communicating and sending files over was impossible.

Yeah I get your drift. The Net already integrates itself to our society and psyche so deeply that it would be like living in the caves if one day it'll just disappear. Next to TV and radio or even out past them, the net is the most valuable source of information a person can access regardless of geography, race or status. It cause our world to be smaller and integrated. Without it now we will all seem lost.

One shouldn't say such things. Oh my heavens do you want me to be bald? I wouldn't look very pretty bald. I would be pulling out my hair. I mean I have gone without the internet before and at one of the recent campgrounds we stayed at, we didn't have reliable access. I was going crazy. If I don't check my email for 2 days it's overflowing. And how would I put up my writing and ahhhhh... It's too awful to think about. lol
