Hey! Life without the Internet would seem impossible in the 21st century, won't it?
From texting your homies to ordering stuff online, the Internet has saved our time and energy in numerous ways. You can stay connected with the outside world without being outside. To be honest, the Internet is a boon for introverts like me, we can facetime with our loved ones and chat with them without getting out of our houses. And especially during this lockdown period, the Internet is being helpful than ever. People who live far from their families can keep in touch with them, check out the live status of the outside world. There are some very productive people who are making the best use of this quarantine period by learning new courses, reading E-books. And some not-very-productive people are passing their time by watching web series, Surfing on social media Sites. People are able to work from home, and students can attend online classes, thanks to the Internet.
But, what if, we didn't have the Internet in our lives?
No social media.
No memes.
No YouTube.
No Instagram.
No online classes. (Well this might be good news for students who are attending online classes.)
Well, people would have to start talking to each other more, like they used to, and the whole morning chat at the post office will return. Kids would have to use the library to find stuff out instead of using Google, which will get them out of the house and learning to do things for themselves. People will receive letters instead of emails.
”PLEASE NO! UNDERSTAND AN INTROVERT'S STRUGGLE!
It’s a simple observation that the Internet sped up the world and the lives we live in. We communicated quicker, we could buy and sell quickly and we could find information quicker. So with the dilemma of having no Internet, we’d surely expect the world to slow down, in business, society, and communication. Coping with this huge decrease in processing speed would have extended impact throughout the business and society worlds to a point we’d wonder how we ever coped without it.
Many older businesses ‘embraced’ the Internet and didn’t solely found their existence around it, so we’d find a good number of businesses still in a position to trade. They merely used the Internet as an advertising medium or extra virtual shop. As long as they had diversity and a strong customer base they’d adapt in whatever ways necessary to keep trading.
What is more, the Internet connects people all around the world and allows them to make online business transactions and prove a special kind of education. Computers did not exist a few decades ago and people had happy lives without them. Nowadays, we take computers for granted and nothing can exist without them. Life would stop without computers. You wouldn’t even think of how many common products are operated by computers. Our cars, microwave ovens, wristwatches, and thousands of other gadgets. Appearing the Internet you can search on WWW– means World Wide Web – for information when you have to some.
Planes can fly without the internet, and trains and buses would continue to run. No problem when it comes to transportation :)
Above all, we have to remember we got to where we are today without the Internet. The Internet was a technological advancement that excelled us into the 21st century and changed the way we socialized, did business, and purchased goods. It paved the way to the future and still has many exciting advancements ahead of its self. Witnessing the loss of the Internet is probably very unlikely, but either way, I’m quite sure as a human race we’d adapt and persevere as we have done for thousands of years.
So, in conclusion, life without the Internet would be tough and slow, but peaceful.
