Knowing what we know and given the life habits we've taken thanks to it, what do you think would happen?

I would suddenly have a life again. My father refers to the internet as WWW (World Wide Waste of Time).

That is a very true response. I agree with you.

Thanks. For example, right now, I should have been in bed hours ago. Darned internet.

I would definitely miss it, but it would simply cause me to shift my focus to my other numerous favorite activities such as cross stitch, gardening, etc. I would also miss the ability to get instant news - that would probably be the biggest issue for me.

Not only would a vast number of people suddenly find themselves without their favourite pastime, but it would also have a great impact on many businesses. Online shopping has become big business and many companies are online only, so there would be a lot of unhappy people.
