Yesterday I asked the question: "What will happen if the world shut off the Internet?"
The General sense of the responses were single. We will all die.
It did surprise me. Our civilization is so dependent on the Internet?
the
Public Internet began in 1991. But the mass that has swept the world, around 1995. That is, he is 22 years old.
the
My son is 24 years old, and the eldest daughter 29 years. They are older than the Internet age!!!
I myself discovered this world in 1996, when I bought my first computer. Remember how I taught myself to install a super modern operating system Windows 95.
the
When I first got on the Internet. It was another opportunity to socialize and learn new things. No more.
I couldn't imagine that this will become the basis of life on Earth!!!
Is the world so dependent on Internet?!!!
Because almost all the fundamental discoveries in science and technology were made in the 19th century. Then just there was no Internet.
How people managed to develop science and technology?
Yes, the Internet is now, you can find almost everything. To read any books. But because people have read before.
As a boy I often hung out in the library. I read books that were not given to the house.
And I still think that reading a paper copy, the better. Thoughtful or something.
I have a feeling that the Internet divides people. Pushes everyone to sit at home. To get away from the real world into the virtual.
I don't think the Internet is evil. But I don't think it should be considered a pillar of life on Earth.
