Default Re: If the internet goes.

Hey Tuza,

Hope you are well, I think if the internet goes down we will be in a situation where no one will be working, I can't think of any non-primary industry (everything except growing food etc...) that doesn't rely now completely on computers and access to the web, I mean the computers we are writing on right now are not even as effective as an old type writer without the net. I know very few people who have an old plug-into the grid telephone. Everything in my house is wireless and all of my phones are dependant on the modem. I know its crazy but if that happens we are really in a difficult situation to communicate with each other. I know that the phone company Verizon still kept up their transatlantic under the sea cables so some old fashioned communication system still exists but it would be tough. I guess the answer is to gather as much information as possible while we are still on-line.

Take it easy and glad to e-meet you!
