Internet meltdown effects

One of the things that keeps me thinking is a scenario where the Internet stops or melts down and no one can fix it. I'll discuss this on a personal level. As for me, this will induce changes in lifestyle. All the great things that happens on the Net will be lost: no more checking email, chatting, no more Web browsing (like checking friends on friendster), no more online file storage and no job. In that way, every man is an island. With this, in order to communicate, I have to use heavily the post office for mails and the landline telephone or cellphone for talking. This is actually the life of mine up to 1997, the year the Internet made headstart into the Philippines. This is a horror of sorts to me of course, yet I love the changes, even if I'll lost my outsourcing job.
