If the Internet disappeared...

There are plenty of Sci-Fi stories about a world without the Internet. What would happen if the Internet went down? It would not be a joke, and your workplace would come to a screeching halt. No email, no social networking, no online banking. Can you even imagine it? And with so many companies online full time, it would create massive paralysis. Backup systems wouldn't work, and you would be lost without the ability to function in a normal environment. The moral of this story is a simple one. Make sure you have adequate backups for all your systems and have an alternative route if the electricity goes down. Test your backup systems on a regular basis. And for sure, be grateful for the Internet-driven world we live in. Just never take it for granted.
