What if the internet one day died? Like if there only where 14 people online a day? If sites lost traffic, games died, IRC servers went silent? If there was no one to protect their servers and letting them be controlled by some lazy cracker? If Google went down? If Valve went down, and they shutted down steam? Who would theese alone persons be? And would everything turn into pharmacy sites? [B]What would happen?[/B]
impossible ARPANET would kick back in, people could still communicate
If that happened, we'd have bigger problems way before that.
Yeah.. maybe
If that happened then nobody would care because no one would be using the internet?
[QUOTE=RabidToaster;17287606]If that happened then nobody would care because no one would be using the internet?[/QUOTE] This, in order for the internet become redundant, there would have to be a better alternative, which is highly unlikely since the internet is currently the world's cheapest and most efficient communication system out there.
What if cheese was a person? What if money was fake? What if humans were actually huge mutant monsters? Stop with "What if" questions.
People would lose weight since they will go outside.
Chuck norris 'll fix everything.
Meh, thought it would be interesting to discuss. See ya next time ill go on shitpost rage.

[QUOTE=Yuluthu;17288792]well, the most efficient system is talking, but it isn't as convenient[/QUOTE] Not if you're a mute.

[QUOTE=noahh;17287946]This, in order for the internet become redundant, there would have to be a better alternative, which is highly unlikely since the internet is currently the world's cheapest and most efficient communication system out there.[/QUOTE] I seriously doubt that the internet is cheaper to run than phone lines. EDIT: Before someone mentions 56k, he said cheapest AND most efficient.
Reminds me of when I was like 10 and I saw some button saying "Click here to delete the internet" and I was scared to click it
[QUOTE=onforty;17286977]..If Valve went down, and they shutted down steam?[/QUOTE] That would be totally bastard groovy. No more idiotic Valve with their garbage and nonsensical game code, no more steampowered forums with idiotic 10 year old power tripping moderators and no more retarded Steam. It wouldn't be hard to develop something like the WON2 system as an alternative.
I have 100 GB of quality porn saved onto my hard drive for that very reason.

Would go to 4chan and laugh
It would be like the apocalypse, but stupider.
Try using the www2 prefix. Backup servers ahoy.
id shit myself and fap to sleep

Something likes this: *Baldr removes his pants Or cry.
