Life without technology
 
I have this crazy notion that the world ending won't come from a natural disaster or man-made bomb etc, but instead it will occur through a technological meltdown and computers gaining a massive incurable virus that will stop them from working world wide.

How do you reckon the world and yourself would cope if the whole of technology just stopped working?

Kizzy 02-11-2012 08:41 AM

Eighth day prophecy?
I think it would be wonderful! No nuclear threat, real jobs, real conversation and live music.
The downside would be losing lifesaving mecical technology though.

Saph 02-11-2012 08:51 AM

I'd have to go outside and talk to real life people D:

arista 02-11-2012 08:57 AM

I would be part of the Team
that create a New "Virus Free" System
without Microsoft.


Microsoft would be blamed

CharlieO 02-11-2012 11:15 AM

technology is literally a component in basically all major suppliers of our resources.

Therefore we would all die.

Niamh. 02-11-2012 11:19 AM

We wouldn't all die Charlie lol

Kizzy 02-11-2012 11:21 AM

How did people survive before technology charlie?..haha!

nicole_burks 02-11-2012 11:22 AM

Well most jobs require technology... Touch screen registers and all that.

I would feel a lot better, not getting distracted and getting work done would be nice.

Josy 02-11-2012 11:23 AM

Would probably be for the best tbh.

Roy Mars III 02-11-2012 11:24 AM

life wouldn't be worth living

MTVN 02-11-2012 11:26 AM

It would be awful, everyone would be like "yay let's all go outside now" but then you'd get home there's no lights, there's no heating, you can't cook any tea, you can't watch telly and you can't go on the internet

Shaun 02-11-2012 11:43 AM

some people seem to think "technology" is just computers and new stuff... try and say how amazing and earthly we'd all be without electricity, transport, communication tools and mass-manufacturing.

that said, the world wouldn't end.

Niall 02-11-2012 12:19 PM

I don't think the world would end really. I mean if all the machines in the world just stopped working then there'd be problems, i.e like nuclear power plants going into meltdown because machines can't manage the reactor. But I don't think it would cause the actual apocalypse. We'd probably just get past the big problems and then go back to a slightly simpler existence. Life would go on.

Personally, I'd hate it. I use so many different bits of technology for entertainment all the time (phone, laptop, Kindle..). I'd have nothing to do. :laugh:

Marsh. 02-11-2012 12:41 PM

Me. I Am Salman 02-11-2012 12:48 PM

Lol, do you not have family?

TBH, as much as I'd hate to lose my computer, iPod and TV just having a simple paper and pencil would be great.

Samuel. 02-11-2012 12:52 PM

A lot of people would die tbh.

Think about hospitals, about medication, about food supply, heating, communication in emergencies. It'd take years for us to adapt.
