>The internet will kill us all

The world is doomed when the internet shuts down. That's my opinion.
Yes, the internet is an important part of today's society but I think life and the world were better back in the old days.

What's your opinion?

Every year the sun sends off stronger and stronger solar flares sometimes whole towns and/or cities lose all power for days a few times weeks long (example: my uncle lives outside of Willow, Alaska and he loses power many times because of minor flares and changes in the earths magnetic field) the sun its self is slowly dying with in the next hundred years ( some scientists believe)

Mary ann Just think solar flare or emp. it is great to use it to do alsorts and if we did loose it start to get ready for the fall out

Defo thats when kids climed trees and whent camping for real not on the net or rabbiting wots it coming to

The internet dead?
That's just not possible! How should this work?

You are right SurOfTheFittest.
So many jobs are nowadays based on the internet and computers; but not just jobs, whole lives. Couples who live thousands of miles away can communicate thanks to the world wide web; the live of everyone improved, you are now able to buy things via the internet and you can buy EVERYTHING, food, clothing, cars, houses. The whole lifestyle of our society would be destroyed, too.

If the internet gets destroyed there's a good change that this will cause a whole lot of trouble. I can imagine that there are a lot of people who will riot and that the system we have now will now longer exist. People get unemployed, many will lose their homes.

Not the world will end but the human civilization as we know it.

So what you are saying basically is that one day some mysterious force shuts down the internet?
I don't know much about the internet but I guess it's kind of unrealistic that the WHOLE internet is destroyed. That's just not possible, it's not like it's ONE device which can be destroyed.

Technology improved in the last few years so much, it's incredible. I think it's amazing what we are capable of and we should not wish the old days back. Yes technology kills people but it also can save lives. Surgeries, like we have them today, were not possible 10 years ago.
I am happy that we have the internet and all other finesses of technology but I also think those things can become dangerous in the future.
