El Presidente Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Microsoft 365 is down for most of Oz this morning so if you are waiting on an email.....you know why It got me to thinking. Hypothetical. A little smart electronic terrorism. No access to email. No access to your bank accounts or credit cards No access to your phone. No access to any electronics (computer etc). How long could you survive without assistance in a world where digital networks are down globally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaclub Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 5 mins. Lol Actually I find it great when I go to Cuba and the wifi at the resorts suck so much that I disconnect for a full week. It feels good. I am off to Cuba again this March so it will be nice to disconnect again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJRPorter Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 1st day is weird. Then after that, I could go on endlessly. It is a gift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineguy Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 At least a few weeks. Other than food I have plenty of everything on hand and keep enough cash on hand for month or so of food... and then I could trade wine and cigars with my friends for food....

unclepauly25 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Being 44 years of age, I’m glad I grew up without all the technology, we used our imagination as kids to have fun and face to face interactions was all we needed. We knew where everyone was by all the bikes on the front lawn. I feel bad for the kids of today, they don’t know what it’s like to grow up in a world without technology, not that it’s a bad thing, I think it was nice to grow up without it ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gweilgi Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Spent five days at a friend's last year who lives several hours' drive outside Broken Hill. The nearest place to spend any money at all was an hour's drive down the road. No phone reception, no wifi, no TV, no radio except two AM stations -- one Christian broadcaster and one sending repeats of old Cricket test matches. Day One was weird. Day Two was worse. But by Day Four I was really getting into it. The peace and quiet was amazing, and once I had reoriented my brains to non-electronic stimulation It was really very pleasant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Cigars would last me a lifetime and then some. Booze - could make it last a couple of years. Food - a month. Water - years and years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_jack Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 In a still civilized society trying to deal with it? Probably okay but I would struggle. Strictly internet speaking I've wanted to disconnect for quite a while. In a complete breakdown every person for themself kind of disaster? I'd be better off. I have the "tools" to get what's needed and a family to provide for. I simply put social morales in a box, file it away in the back of the brain and do the work. May sound bad but hey...survival.
