每日口說挑戰如果網路消失了，我們會怎麼樣？ (What If the Internet Stopped Working)

【Question Time!】一起來練習口說表達

1. Before the internet was among our lives, what was your biggest interest, or what did you like to do the most in your free time? Do you still do it now?
2. Name one thing that you can’t live without. For example, Air Conditioning (AC).

Hi folks, welcome to the show. How’s everyone enjoying the summer? You know, summer is actually a good time for thinking. Because when it’s too hot to hang out, what’s better than staying home, grabbing a cold drink, lounging in your favorite spot and… just pondering and doing nothing? One interesting topic to think about is what if the internet stopped working? It would be difficult to do anything...

Yes, that’s what it feels like if the internet suddenly stopped working. However, a lot of different things would be affected as well. For instance, no more text messaging: you would have to actually write a letter to someone or maybe send them a fax, which means no more gossiping or sending unimportant messages because it would be a waste of time and paper. Also, if you’re traveling in a new city, prepare to hold a map in your hand because Google Maps would be in a deep slumber, what a nightmare! And most importantly, without internet service, big companies like Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook would soon lose money and eventually go bankrupt, because no demand, no supply, then no profit, and what’s next for the financial market? Yes, you’ve guessed it, a catastrophic global recession.

網路消失了...就沒辦法錄口說挑戰了

☺If the Internet suddenly flatlined, social media users would start calling each other on the phone, overloading the working telecommunication systems.
如果網路突然崩壞，社交媒體的使用者會開始改用電話互相通話，使得運作中的通訊系統超載。
【心得】生命會自己找到出路的，就算沒有網路世界還是會繼續運轉的，只是不少人會先大崩潰吧!?

最近大家要多補充水份，上星期大概少喝水又少上廁所，搞到膀胱發炎！好在吃完藥好多了，還衝了一趟馬拉灣，見識到了報復性旅遊的人潮╮(￣▽￣"")╭

太空船星鍊都在進行了，資訊化、網路化也是必然的趨勢，要網路消失那是不可能的，不過越是這樣，越是需要不受網路干擾、專心清靜的時間。
