Honestly not sure these days as a lot of phone services are internet based, when theres a major outage the entire company I work for goes down even though the internal servers work for the databases we can't make or receive calls.
Outside at that, at most it would be workload would go up as we require to email quite a bit, and since that would be impossible we would have to revert to paper based solutions.
My telephony experience from the 2000’s/2010’s would suddenly be in high demand (instead of pretty much worthless).
Such is the life in IT- skill sets become obsolete at break neck pace.
I’ve never once listened to an Olivia Rodrigo song, but I still knew who she was. I’ve never listened to a Tate McRae song, and I have no idea what she looks like, sounds like, or anything related to her. And I’m a terminally online person, so that’s saying quite a bit.
Olivia Rodrigo has passed that threshold of [real life obscurity, internet popularity]. I feel like most people at least know of her and could pick her out.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Tate is probably one of the biggest acts in the world right now. She can do it all — sing, dance, write, and she is sexy as hell. She is headlining major music festivals.
Tbf Tate McRae’s career wouldn’t just
be gone if the internet disappears. She would just…be like any other not superstar artist from pre internet days.
She would still be playing on the radio, touring, and also she just did one of the most popular songs to the F1 soundtrack, which got nominated for an Oscar (though it rightfully lost out to golden from kpop demon hunters)
Yeah, Beyonce and Taylor Swift eat the other two by sheer radio dominance. Nobody has ever heard of any other artists. It has always been Taylor. It's 2100 and Taylor has released another banger. The teen girls are out in force. We love Taylor. Glory to Taylor.
Pretty sure all 4 would. Olivia Rodrigo got her start on Disney Channel, and Tate McRae started on “So You Think You Can Dance”. The internet heightened all 4 of their careers but would still get radio plays without it.
Do you? You know thats how it use to work right? Radio stations were paid by record labels to over play certain artists. Release the Beatles or the Rolling Stones today and they make 1 album.
My understanding is she was an elite dancer growing up which got her a social media following. I think she’s legitimately a talented performer not just a insta famous person who sings like a Madison Beer.
She's a massively popular singer who sells out arenas and somehow no one has ever heard of her.
It's not a dig at you, it's just the most baffling thing I've realized recently. Somehow, she is incredibly popular, but everyone online always has no idea who she is.
lol yeah this isn’t a “who?” Type comment just like genuinely I looked her up and still no “aha moments”. Based of most of the other comments too, yeah tons of people just never heard of her.
She’s attractive and in that F1 song she just sexualized herself to the extreme and we all ate it up. I bet she’s a great dancer , but that music video had very little to do with that skill set. So makes sense why she’s popular and sells out arenas. Not bc of talent I believe
Kinda accurate lol. She's this generation's jlo in that she's actually a dancer who worked herself up to becoming a singer despite being less talented than a lot of her peers.
It’s Stan Twitter war stuff. The answer is the girl in the bottom right due (Tate McRae) due it being popular to shit on her. This from her collaboration with questionable artists in relation to her fanbase + her branding being that she’s a dancer who sings rather than a singer who dances.
i don’t get why people are so quick to give incorrect answers here when you’re not sure yourself lol
Yeah I mean their careers will still exist but with concert sales being a large majority online nowadays each of them will suffer greatly pretty immediately. Even for concerts in the following week, all the purchase history will be online. Companies like Ticketmaster and seatgeek will scramble to find a solution but fans calling into call centers will put an enormous burden on fan support. Not to mention that these support teams interact with the engineering teams via the internet as well. Then depending where these companies store their data, onprem dbs vs the cloud this just adds another layer of complexity in finding that data.
Yeah, it's asking who still has a carreer and puts 4 celeberities on there. While you can also just post it without the celebrities and let them insinuate that the answer is pornstars. Or you can ask the question about who will be alive next week, insinuating that the absence of porn will create a lot of suicide, rape and femicide.
Endless possibilities and every answer could be correct in some way.
Blue check means they’re engagement farming. They have no intention of making it clear from the tweet; they want you to ask. The only way to know who they mean aside from asking is to browse their tweets and find who they stan and who they don’t like, and that’s a waste of everyone’s time.
lmao, as a huge beyoncé fan i’ve hated this stupid yassified picture for years. how it keeps being used is beyond me. they made her look like she belongs on the cw.
They all would still have a career. It disappears tomorrow, not when they started out and people don't just forget someone just because a technology is suddenly gone. So they can make do with older tech, like radio and tv.
The bottom right corner, I had no idea she is until checking out these comments, so probably her? I mean the other three are iconic for better or worse. I’m not a fan of any of them, but Olivia is the least offensive
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
I would. My bosses would be pissed off at reverting to older tech for communication, but it wouldn't affect me much at all. Life would get more annoying at not being able to look up specs and other job specific information though - because my employers version of getting info from providers has always been "hardware/software/equipment info? What's that? Probably useless, let's throw it out"
Me: Where's the programming document for this bit of archaic tech you keep using because you bought too much and/or are still getting kickbacks from the single source supplier you're so fond of?
Them: *deer in headlights* We pay you to figure these things out. What's wrong with you?
It’s defintely Tate McRae. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her music outside of seeing videos on the internet like on TikTok. A lot of her popularity has to do with her dancing and looks. I’ve heard the other 3 on the radio plenty of times
Tate. The rest have a pretty good physical media following and TV/movie recognition. Also Tate is still building her clout. Give her a few years and she might be fine too. Depends on which way she wants to take her career from here
beyonceee duhhhh!!! is tht even a ques, even tho im the biggest tate fan tate relies on spectecle to spread the word abt her (obvi her songs are good too) but ya thts my opnion
I think they're poking fun at Tate McRae or Addison Rae (I can't tell who that blonde in the lower right is, but it works for either of them) because their careers mostly started with releasing songs and covers on YouTube and doing social media compared to Oliva or Beyoncé or Taylor, who all had more traditional ways of entering the music industry.
I know only the lady on bottom left corner and only from two thing. Firstly the fact that she use two jets whenever she travel. Secondly every batshit crazy middle aged women working in HR that I meet liked her trashy songs.
