You wake up, flip the switch of your coffee pot and puter as you head to the bathroom. Minutes later you flop into your desk chair with your clean teeth while smelling the coffee that is about ready. Old trusty booted up and your DeskTop window is waiting for you to bring up your home page screen. You click your 'Launch Browser' button and do the eternal wait. It seems to always take that extra ten seconds as you watch the progress bar and hear those faint hard drive rattles for the first connection. ………………..The progress bar is really slow this morning ………………….. then it happens. First the window of "This page is not available", quickly followed by the pop-up message "Check your connection." You close everything and re-hit the 'Launch' button. After ten or fifteen minutes of re-booting, eternal waits, clock glancing, watching the blinking of the modem lights and getting the same pop-up, you grab the phone smugly smile to yourself because you are organized and can click the exact location in your 'phone book' for the 24/7 tech support number.




















No answer …………………………………. Or worse yet, "This number is no longer in service"


It's GONE! ………… The complete internet is GONE!!! ……… GONE for now and forever!!!



What effect would this have on you? Besides the momentary initial rush of panic and frustration felt this second, how would this effect your day, your life? Would it be a simple matter of not being able to read a couple jokes and check prices that would make you have to do shopping the same way you did a couple years ago?

Do you make a living in a way that is TOTALLY involved and dependent with the internet? Does you employer use it as a main component to make the rest of their operation function?

Would it be a temporary personal routine adjustment of some amusements and conveniences you've become spoiled with, or would there be a deeper effect on your daily routine? How would it effect the rest of your family?

Just all need to remember one important thing of life ------------- "SHIT HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As Promised

I'd have no job, and the Silicon Valley economy would be in the shitter.

Maybe I should move back to Ohio....in my old job, everyone needed chemicals

My employer uses the internet for a shitload of things, from tracking and tracing cargo to accounting and pricing stuff.

Personally, the hours I work don't give me some of the social outlets of the 9 to 5ers, which makes you lot a large part of my social circle.

Scary, huh?

At least we found this outlet.

Millions of others live as social isolates without our advantages.

Yeah...what she said...

Except, I process medical insurance for the Federal Employee Program w/BCBST and our processing system is INTERNET BASED! My job would be totally fucked. Would have no way of checking providers, procedure costs/charges, nothing.
