To be honest, it is really difficult to imagine. I believe that would cause great difficulty for businesses and big companies because they rely heavily on technology to enhance their production rate, services and the employees, and employers use these instruments to communicate. Ordinary people depend on technology as well. Initially, I thought that it means no more noisy Turkish series, but then I remembered about banking transactions and bill payment that we conveniently use our smartphones for. Internet is the key of all the uses of smartphones as well as computers, since it connects all the devices to the servers and enables governments, scientists, industries, and etc. to do various things. Therefore, even if we had the devices, without the internet services, we wouldn’t be able to utilize them properly. Moreover, I think we need to appreciate the opportunities that these tools offer us when sometimes we ignore how amazing they are.
