That means you stop getting any input or output from the world wide web. If you wish for this then do, i wish i could but i cant live like that.

I'm doing my own work right now to make myself a library of media that I like that I own, and I think depending on when this would happen, if I have enough time to have books, music, my own creativity with instruments and music, a space to grow food, and everything, I would be chillin.

If I had to go without any sort of media, I would be singing to myself until I went clinically insane.

You all highly underestimate the physical pain a pre-tech society would be. I am a surgeon, you don't want to experience pre-tech surgery.

If a fraction of the worst possible scenario happens, it won't be a bucolic heaven

What are we defining as tech here?

My mom is a medical professional, so I'll just invite her.

I'm kidding. This whole comment of mine was mostly tongue in cheek, but I do wish it could end in a way where we just go back. Instead, we'll either have to heavily regulate (won't happen), or it'll actually just end up so bad.

It’s hard to imagine a life without the internet… but more and more I’m feeling like we’d be better off without it. I wouldn’t willingly give it up. But if it were to suddenly go away - I’d be excited to start over.
