The End to Technology and Telecommunication We Know It
     What would happen if you woke up one morning and all the technology and telecommunications would just end and not exist in your modern world? Good question right. I mean there would be no cell phone, no land lines, no internet no modern technology. Nothing we use today would end. Like before the time of the land phone. Only communications would be the telegraph and snail mail, for people that do not know snail mail is a letter you write put it into an envelope put sender address and were you are sending and put stamp walk to mail box and mail. Would we as a world be lost? I am not just saying the United States; yes there is this whole wide world and does not just revolve in the United States. We are not alone, we live among other people in the world who are not just in the United States, and you know it is funny thinking about it, that there are many people who think we are the crap and everyone else in the world don’t. Why is that? Are we Americans that conceited that we class your selves more superior any other country in the world. There are a lot of people who think that and if you are not from here you are just another piece of dirt or number and you don’t exist. Technology and telecommunications exist all around the world, but back to the matter of hand what if you woke up one morning and it no longer exist? What would you do?
     I guess the most important question to ask first if this actually can happen? Can it? I have always believe in the law; “What will happen; will happen. In this situation; I am not sure this could actually happen, well I guess if all the electricity and telecommunications around the world went out than yes. The odds are against it though; but the subject of this post, what would we do if it did?
     I say there would be a bunch of unhappy campers across the world; we now longer would be wired into your devices. You always hear that I wish I didn’t have my cell phone for one day; the fact is most of us would be lost without your phones and devices. Be like a small child without his or her pacifier. Without your devices most of us would be lost; and not being able to be wired would be bad I think; and not just on a personal level. The businesses of the world rely on telecommunications and technology so much in one day would hurt the business world to the point of no return. Think of a normal with no technology; which relies on networking and computers. All the vital information that has been saved over the years let it be to the network, flash drives, disk and DVD’S/CDs no longer would exist. Has all that information really been saved to a hard copy piece of paper or papers?  Did the people who implemented this really take the time and print it off and file it?  I have a hard time believing  that; that was actually done, I could be wrong and yes we always heard that this was happening, but how do really know that? Then again we are told many things that are not true. I know this is just speculation, but what if it is true? I been having this dream for some weeks now and usually I ignore it; but it has been ongoing and I usually don’t have the same dream so I thought I share my dream with you all today. Let me know if this could just be a fantasy or could this actually happen in reality and if so how would this change your lives as we know it today?

If you leave out the absence of electricity in your scenario, then it would take me back to childhood. Before Tv, and when our first phone number was only 3 numbers.

It really wasn't bad then. We actually talked to people, neighbors visited with neighbors on the front porch at night, and we actually played with other children.
