What If The Internet Shuts Down?

Depends on the duration. If it is for few hours, days or weeks.. I could manage but if it goes away permanently, it would be catastrophe for me.

I don't know what I will do if the internet ceased to exist.
 
many people will die for sure as this is happened. as they are so addicted and also depended on this. but, i think this will not be happen if the world is not destroy !
 
People going to be crazy, same they back to ancient times when there is no internet, television or anything.

It's not possible because the internet is built on a distributed infrastructure. There is no central location where everything is controlled from so shutting down any part of "the internet" would not shut down the entire internet.

I guess the exceptions to this are large internet exchanges such as Linx in london (https://www.linx.net/) and also if some big name servers were attacked with DNS spoofing or something then it would have a pretty big effect on the internet.

Stock exchange would collapse. For the average person, the fallout of the stock exchange would take a few days to weeks to be felt, however the myriad of other institutions and sectors affected would induce global panic and riots almost immediately.
We wouldn't be able to perform such a simple task as using our credit cards in shops. No ATMs either, everyone only has as much spending money as they have in their wallets. No bank to bank transactions. How majorly would Sweden be fucked for instance, because of "mah cashless society"?
The basis for all our information is immediately gone; cell phones, computers, TV - all of it is offline. Even your landline phones are affected. Only radio and broadcast TV still work.
Logistics, delivery are down too.
No more food. In food supply everything is done over the internet, if it's down, there is no way to monitor all the supplies that are constantly on the move.
Manufactures couldn't purchase supplies, manage inventory, receive orders, fulfill the orders they already have, process payments or invoices, or even ship anything.
Traffic is snarled, because lights run on computers and the computers can’t get updates.
Smart grids would suffer.
No Pornhub either.

The internet is so pervasive that our everyday life would be effected on a level, checking FB or website stats would be the least of the worries.

Of course all of this is just an utopy (btw why isn't there any big Hollywood movie in the subject?) unless our good ol' Sun thinks otherwise and kills the electric grid with a CME, not impossible, but very unlikely. That's when the internet and everything else is fucked, otherwise the internet will be just fine.

Best response.

The Internet of Things is a very real concept, and many people fail to realize how much has been developed on top of the internet. It would be hard (most likely impossible) to find one thing that isn't at least partially tied to the internet. Even the Amish use products developed using the internet.
 
if the internet dies, i'll be forced to live a healthier lifestyle
 
Internet could never shut down if you P2P.
Like Raspberry Pi with a very nice Wifi Signal that spreads its Wikipedia and stuff backup to stream it all wide. You can create this and internet would never dissapear. But if you throw a electromagnetic pulse bomb, the devices would die, so does the beloved "cloud" based on bare metal.
 
If WW3 Happens internet will go down , but war is expensive

Ah; I was taking it too literally then :-)

Well, my world would collapse... I’d have to actually talk to people...
 
Its possible to happen. My income will drop down to zero .and learning will drop to 80% lol! nothing else.
 
We'd all adjust, eventually. As the Architect said in the Matrix. "there are levels of existence we are prepared to accept."
