All full-time bloggers will be out of work.. Tech ARP will be a history... no more reviews, guides, editorials and CONTESTS! Hey.. Adrian will move to Australia and become a REAL doctor. How about that? Pen pals will come into the picture again... everyone will type now though. But pen pals will definitely come back from the grave... Social sites like Facebook, Myspace, Friendsters, etc. will be gone... No more downloads of pirated movies, software and music... In other words, it will be hell for us... imagine, you will either play game all day on your PC or type letters and send through snail mail... The most happy company may be Microsoft, with Google out of business...
Dudes... no more spams! Hmm... if aliens were to invade us, just to torture us slowly... Internet would be the MAIN target IMHO... just to immobilize us, then kill us from within, slowly... communication... then power.. And we thought we are ohh so great, yeah right...
I think if it went down, whether or not it was officially brought back to life by the big important people that run it, the super dedicated underground people would keep it alive by all means neccessary.
Our lives changed forever with the internet. I don't think anyone is prepared to withstand a reverse. Simply said (in our own lingo): Die lah! die lah! dieeeeee!..
