      Without. Like everybody else and like I did for 40 years.

        We are more dependent on it than most people realize.

          Oh, we for sure are. But we will adapt if we have to.

            Chaos?

            Food shipments? Electrical grid?

              Would we survive it as a species? Yes, of course.

              But an internet outage of a year would lead to the biggest crisis since WW2.

                Absolutely. The worst part of it is that much if not all telecom would be gone too. The vulnerability of cellular and IP phones.

                  The Sun is coming to get us.

                  It will get the internet

                  It will get the planet eventually

                  The politics will be fascinating

                  It will start with warming, but co2 will get the blame

                  Really, no kidding, more people will blame atmospheric co2 than will blame the Sun

                      And this is why the space program is important.
