We have become so used to the internet and social media for communication
witin a VERY VERY short period of time.....16 years or so....say 1995 to 2011.

What would YOU do if it all was "cut down" or was totally corrupted for "bad use".

Please don't answer with any specifics. Perhaps don't answer here at all.

Consider "within yourself and within your circle" what would you do"? If all internet/technological communication were cut off/corrupted?

LOL - perhaps a premise for a bad movie script :silly:

g'nite *hic*

8. People will find a way.
If the net goes away, we'll communicate via phones.

If the phones go away, we'll communicate via paper.

Look at the more oppressive regimes in recent history: Stalin, Iran (both Shah and Ayatollahs), etc. Dissent flourished, even if underground. Look at the samizdat movements for example.
