So I was bored one day, and I thought...

Off-topic stuff!

So I was bored one day, and I thought...

Postby Mehrunes » Thu Feb 02, 2012 2:37 pm

What would happen if all the computers in the world, the Internet, all disappeared. And we are all stuck in a solitary prison of nothingness called a roof over your head. Doing nothing at all. Just sitting and thinking to yourself. So I ask,
What would happen, or what would you do if all the computers and interwebz all disappeared in a moment.

I'd be pretty sure the world would be in terror because something happened and they didn't like it.

I think it would be fucking awesome if the internet and everything just shut down. Maybe that would lower the obesity rate in america.

I'm with Danhezee and PXYC. After awhile, though, I would dig my way through the stone with my finger tips and travel to Germany. From there I would locate their atomic bombs and destroy the world before it be to late.

If the internet burnt down then we'd rebuild it.

a) it'd stimulate the economy because businesses everywhere would be rushing to rebuild the Internet and restore access, and telecom companies would become super-rich

b) we'd end up with a more efficient internet since we could redesign everything from scratch.

The OP does say No computors either And without computors we can say goodbye to: The stockmarket, Utilities, banks, any national commnication service and then Government.

And there are very few people in the world who can build computors using only the bare materials, and how will they orginise themselves?

A world without computors is the Worst Apocalpse that might befall mankind, a few might be able to escape plague and war, but a new world without computors would doom us all.

I would call up the president of the united stared and beg him to pay whatever ransom the terrorist group were asking for. Then I would google the terrorist group find them on twitter and congradulate them on their smartness.

P.S I don't really have twitter!
People call me a pro. But they're wrong, killing isn't a profession, it's a passion.

@ Derpy, OK fair point. But we'd just rebuild the computers, then rebuild the internet. It's not like engineers are just gonna forget how computers are made, lol

Ironically, the internet is based on Arpanet, which was designed to be a post-nuclear communications system that's almost impossible to wipe out :)
