And at the end: could this actually happen? And why the skills to survive it are far older than the internet itself. 0:00 Nothing loads 0:27 It already happened 1:16 Hour 1: the blue dot in an empty world 1:59 Hour 6: money stops working 2:30 Day 1: overloaded networks and old radios 3:26 Day 3: the empty shelves 4:23 Day 7: a new kind of life 5:22 Day 14: the economy in low gear 6:04 Day 30: people adapt 6:47 Could this really happen? 7:28 The oldest skills we have #whatif #internet #internetshutdown #technology #society #humanhistory #science
