I would have to stock up on postage stamps, because I pay all my bills online.
My Apple TV would be useless, so I would most likely watch TV through my digital antenna. I don’t see myself ever going back to cable, even in the most extreme circumstances. My DVD collection would most likely get more use, too.
No Internet would mean no Kindle, so I would frequent the library more often.
I would use my XM Radio receiver more; ever since they introduced an app for the Apple TV, I’ve listened to their channels exclusively through it.
My music is on an iPod Classic, so no problem there. I would listen to that, or my CDs.

I'd be out over $2000 on two things I'm still waiting to have built for me in November.

I'd instantly devolve into a neanderthal.

Im a programmer so... I would be f***ed. No programmer can work without google. Am a Senior IT Admin. Would be homeless within a week. Same (well minus the senior) Although I’m thinking we could probably drag it out for a few while asking the rest of my company if they have tried turning their computers off and on maybe

Syndicated programming on TV would come back and bomb schedules are out

I’d probably crack open a bottle of whiskey and wait for the end.

I'd survive it...now if all the zinc or springs in the world suddenly disappeared tomorrow then I'd be in some serious trouble.

I'm more worried about the collapse of the global economy, the inability to access any of my money, and all the problems from my (and everyone else's) credit/debit cards becoming useless hunks of plastics than I am my entertainment options.

Without internet that means less control of info, does this mean a big return of kayfabe in the world of wrestling?

yeesh. I'd lose my side hustle with surveys, which means less money, no access to places like Amazon for shopping, no place to upload things I write, I'd lose contact with long-distant friends I've gained over the years, wouldn't have access to a couple communities important to me that have helped me through some low times in my life. And that's just the bigger stuff, it'd affect me in a lot of smaller ways too.

I am more than capable of worrying about more than one thing at a time. In fact, it's practically my special talent.
