Older folks like me will be devastated that there will be no instant communication but after a time of adjustment we will go back to what we knew before the computer age. Quoting: HippigalWhat do you think????? Well, we`ll just communicate in the streets with the people from our area. |

If the net has done one thing for us, or to us, while it may have opened the world to us, it's also made us much more socially isolated, and has taken the "human" element out of our lives. So, if the net ever does go down, it might be a good thing socially. Especially now when the country is being plunged into another depression where we're going to have to depend on each other to get by. |

Some people might actually develop a life. You know, actually leave your basement and go outside into the real world. Interact with real people face to face. What a concept. .......................................................... So true. All you folks here who mention more social interaction the way it used to be are right. I love e-cards, sending the paper ones was such a drag. I love e-mail, it was so boring to receive letters, and keep putting off writing back. I spend more time here with virtual ppl than real live ones. I would miss the "instant" aspect of the net. When I think off all the things we have now that we didn't have 30 years ago before the computer age, I will absolutely miss the easy social way out. But you know our world will shrink so much. Here I am typing this reply to folks who are probably scattered around the world, all that will disappear and we will have to look ppl in the face again. I don't know about you but I will really mourn for the net if it ever goes down. In addition to what I said above, it will be very hard to go back to reading, writing (by hand!) and we older folks will have to teach the younger ones how to cope. All they've ever known is the computer age. They will be in for a very rude awakening if it isn't there anymore 8-[ Highway to Hell |
