The internet is dead!

Imagine for a moment, if you will, that the internet - that thing one uses to communicate with the world - died. That's right - died!!! Completely caput! No more internet! How would we survive? What would we do? How many conversations all around the world would sound a little like this...............

JIM: Dude......what just happened?
TONY: Dude......I think the internet just......died?
JIM: Impossible! How can the internet just die?! Who do we talk to about this?
TONY: .................google?
JIM: This I will not tolerate! I'm outraged!
TONY: I'm wondering where I'll vent my anger about this.....
JIM: You know what I have to do right this second?
TONY: Tweet about it?
JIM: No! Write a blog post!
TONY: Then link it on facebook?
JIM: How else will everyone know that the internet is down!!??
TONY: All those friends and followers lost. Forever.
JIM: And all those youtube favourites!
TONY: And amazon still owe me Dr. Horrible on DVD!
JIM: Face it, dude - the internet is gone. Life as we know it is......void of meaning. We should probably go out and.....socialise?
TONY: With who? All my friends live in Norway!
JIM: Then maybe......read a book?
TONY: Things with pages? Writing on them? Non-interactive? That them?
JIM: Indeed.
TONY: I have heard of such things. Stephen Fry mentioned one only yesterday! Oh.....Stephen Fry......his Twitter account.......it's....gone....
JIM: I've seen one.
TONY: A Stephen Fry?!
JIM: A book! This old man tried to make me read one for something called "an exam?"
TONY: At that place called school!
JIM: Yes!
TONY: We should go there, perhaps? For learning.
JIM: Possibly. Afterall, with no wikipedia, where will our knowledge come from?
TONY: Wait a minute! We're worrying over nothing! Everything we need is right here in this very room!

[Tony turns on the TV to see the BBC Test Card. He and Jim stare at the screen for a moment]

TONY: ........................
JIM: ...........................
TONY: Wanna break out the N64 and play Mario Kart?
JIM: Hell yeah!


The End
