Something causes the internet to just die one day. Every internet server on the planet just goes kaput for some reason. Youtube, Wikipedia, FAN, Netflix, Google, Xbox live, Amazon, Ebay, etc. They're all gone. What do we do? What sort of effect does it have on businesses that rely on the net and society as a whole?

Yep, end of the world.
I mean, what would be the point?
Hell I'd be devestated if only YouTube disappeared.

I could probably sell the porn and lolcats that I have saved, making a pretty good living. Be interesting to see what happens to the music industry since they'd have everything they've wanted for a good long while.

There would be a MASSIVE crash with multi billion dollar companies dying overnight and companies like Apple basically screwed. Plus with the amount of data stored in clouds there will be crippling effects on many more companies, services and even politically.

We'd be f***ed but we lived without it before and could do so again.

My life was so much more simple before the internet and I kinda miss that. Hell, I don't even use the internet now as it is.

It'd be interesting. If we could destroy the internet and cell phones at the same time, people might have to actually have to look at one another!

Wall Street would collapse in flames. They need to be able to communicate with each other for buying and selling and trading, so no communication means no business.

On a larger scale, there would be chaos in the business world
