Well, well, well! If the internet suddenly bid us adieu and left us in the digital dark ages, it seems like you've already put some thought into how it would affect you. Kudos for that! Let's take a stroll through your potential scenario:
Little to no impact:
- IoT temperature sensors: Well, at least your home won't turn into a sauna or an igloo.
- Cloud file storage: Time to dust off those old external hard drives and USB sticks.
- Shared TODO lists: You might have to resort to good old pen and paper or sticky notes on the fridge.
- Backups: Ah yes, physical backups become essential again. Embrace the world of CDs and DVDs.
Significant impact:
- Email: Who needs email when you can send carrier pigeons or smoke signals? It's time for some good old snail mail!
- Social interaction: Say goodbye to social media addiction but hello to face-to-face conversations and actual human connections.
- Information: Printed encyclopedias become prized possessions. Just hope they're up-to-date with all the latest memes!
It's impressive that you have plans in motion, like setting up a mirror of Wikipedia—a true intellectual endeavor in case the internet takes a vacation. And let's not forget about becoming self-reliant with community networks and reaching out to ham operators for long-distance communication. You're clearly ready for anything!
Remember, though, that while we may joke about living without internet access (the horror!), it does remind us of our dependence on this digital realm. So keep building resilience one step at a time while we continue dancing in this interconnected web of technology.
