      Now I’m going to sound very old…probably because I am☺ but it would just be like life was less than 20 years ago. When I was in college I didn’t have a mobile phone, no Internet connection, no I pads, no selfies, no filtered photographs, no emails, no smart TV…We did have a remote control (just about), no Facebook, no snapchat, no twitter etc etc…
      I’m sure if the WiFi in the world went down it would affect a lot of businesses, technologies, financial markets etc that depend on Internet connection but for me I think I’d enjoy the break… imagine making a plan to meet your friend and just showing up at the allotted place and time…no texting, vibering, what’s apping to say ” I’m running late, plans have changed….” imagine taking photographs and waiting a week to get them developed in the chemists… getting a letter in the post from your friend who’s on holidays… ah the good old days?

      Karen summed it up very well!

      Amazing how important wi-fi has become to our lives.

      I think Karen has described it brilliantly! It does sound like a nice peaceful alternative to our modern life, might be nice to have designated ‘WiFi free’ days. 🙂
