You wake up to find that the internet has gone. All that is left is an empty desk and a pile of dust. How bad would you miss the internet?

Check out the top few things that I believe people would miss and see if you would miss them as well?

YouTube

Think about it, no more YouTube. You may say that you don’t normally visit YouTube but many people do and it has become something that everybody knows and talks about. Without YouTube we would go back to waiting for programs and content we want and most likely never have the range of content YouTube has supplied. No more random people’s video blogs to laugh at! Would you miss it?

Internet Shopping

Think about before you shopped for your stuff online, there was limited choice and not remotely as much range of goods as the internet has given us. What makes it even worse is before internet shopping you would find yourself in a crowded shop full of stuff you really don’t need while getting elbowed in the rips by some random OAP in the process. To really see how you would miss internet shopping , take a look around your room and locate all the objects that where bought online, for me that is most of my room.

Email

Think about it, without the internet we would be left with letters and phone calls to communicate with family, friends and co-workers. Just imagine it, instead of email newsletters we would get some underpaid overworked telemarketer stating all the latest deals in a monotone voice. Perhaps we would get a letter with latest deals that would already be outdated making it completely pointless. Email has provided us with the power of sending a letter but that can be sent across the globe in seconds and all for free! Could you live without this vital service?

MSN Messenger

Without MSN we would have to use SMS to send quick messages to friends who you may not be able to or not want to speak to them face to face. This would make phone companies rich but make us poor. Imagine when having a conversation on MSN or any other chat program, every time you send a reply it costs you 10p, if that was the case for me I would be getting a very large phone bill. MSN has become something you just can’t live without for the younger generation and has been saving parents lots of 10p texts.

Online banking

For those of you who use online banking, I’m sure you would miss it if it was gone. Without the internet online banking would be a pipe dream and we would have to go back to using ATM cash machines, while looking over our shoulder for any dodgy looking people while inspecting the machine for any card stealing gadgets. All of those while having a large queue of people behind you giving you funny looks. Would you miss online banking?

That is just a few of the things I believe people would miss if there internet was to randomly disappear and I’m sure there are so many more things that I people would miss. Did you think you would miss the internet this much? You could always try disconnecting your internet for a week?
