What would happen if there was a internet blackout?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I know the obvious answers.. we would have no internet, ha.. but it really seems to be picking up.

What else would this affect?
We still have phones for comms?
No emailing. Many business communicate online between businesses and between locations. Back to snail mail for all documents? Fax? Are governments included? They use this method often. I wonder how much police depend on internet vs intranet?
No banking, no eft, no transferring money to family. No fuel or food purchasing (will businesses acknowledge cash? Could they? Big business is likely internet heavy).
Most people tap their card daily here for their dinner needs from the supermarket for the night.
No sharing of child pornography. No kids claiming their top goal is to be an influencer. Anons no longer warning the masses. (I keep telling peeps the day will come they won't be warned, maybe this is why 🤔).
Depending on length of time, back to barter and trade?
