What if the internet disappeared tonight... and didn’t come back for seven days?

No Google. No GPS. No Amazon. No streaming. No social media. No online banking.

Welcome to Seven Days of Dis-May! 📵

In this episode, we’re imagining what would happen if the internet suddenly disappeared for an entire week and realizing just how many ordinary things we no longer remember how to do without it.

How would we get somewhere without GPS? Make a restaurant reservation without an app? Check the weather? Pay a bill? Buy something? Look up the name of that actor who was in that movie with that other guy?

And what happens when there’s no Google to settle an argument?

We’re going back to paper maps, phone books, radios, handwritten directions, checks, DVDs, CDs, newspapers, and actually calling a restaurant to make a reservation.

But then we started thinking about something else.

What would we get back?

Maybe we’d call someone instead of liking their post. Read a book. Play a game. Have a conversation. Go outside. Be creative.

We might even have to be... bored.

We’re also looking back at our own experiences during real blackouts, including New York in 1977 and 2003, and talking about television shows and books that imagined what happens when technology suddenly stops working.

Could we actually make it seven days without the internet?

What would YOU miss the most?

And did the internet simply make our lives easier, or have we built our lives in a way that makes it almost impossible to function without it?

Maybe the real question isn’t what we would lose.

Maybe it’s what we would get back.
