No Social Media! No Texting! No new apps! No location stalking your significant other to make sure they aren’t cheating! These are just a few of the effects of having no internet. But hey, maybe you're thinking this isn’t such a bad thing, and that maybe society as we know it could still continue on fine and dandy without the world wide web. Well, today Brainiacs we are talking not just a day, or a week, or a month without the web. We are going to discuss a full year. And what it would be like for us individually, and as a society, to not have any internet connection! What would happen to business? The military?
