    Many people would, but I think I could rig something to have a sufficient amount of power in the house.

    I can still read books and manuals, and i do have those books and manuals in paper form.

      and you think youre special? most people who cant read shit on paper cant read it on the internet. “reading books, and manuals in paper format” doesnt take that much brain power

        Point is that most people who read on Internet have not the experience to do somthing without Internet since they never lived without internet.

          The only thing the internet allows you to do is find information.

          You don’t need “pre internet information gathering” experience to figure out where information is held. I know the location of many libraries off the top of my head.

          I can go there, figure out the system they use, read a few books to find what I need, then head home.

            I think that you overestimate the capacity of the yourger people to solve problems without any access to any form of online informations.

              True, but the old generation will not fare any better if something they were born with suddenly went away.

              My point is that it isn’t a new thing.
