You are mistaken, we actually do not internet at all. Indeed, it gives us many opportunities for earning money, also it plays a big part as a entertainment tool, but that is basically all.
Why would you sit in front of PC or smarthphone to browse the internet, when in the same time you are hungry and you cannot afford to eat, or you dont have a place to go for the night.
Especially in a event of some kind of a conflict, you simply dont even think about using web. You are focused on different things: to make your situation better, and the internet won't help with that issue.
I am not saying that we can’t survive without it don’t get me wrong, but if the internet goes down we are going to go back to the old ages, where we can’t communicate with other people from other countries, we won’t know what is happening or talk with others, we will live alone, banks, online shopping social media, global markets, all of that will go down.
