What would the world be like without the Internet for one month? - Derek, Zdenek




Shopping, traveling, fun .... Are there the "ordinary" things? You imagine! If the world was without the Internet for one month, we would not use many kind of standard things of our life. For example, you couldn't check time of rotating bus and use cards when you go to super-market. Furthermore, you would have to go to offline-market and pay through only cash when you want some foods.


1. Black-out of the money

What would you do if you could use only cash?

  

- Stock option
Stock market must be crash, as you know it is so sensitive because it has been changing at all time. Also it's interface and information is on the Internet is foundation for stock market.

 - Bank would be cut off ( ATM, online-banking, credit-card, account info. )
If ATM would be out of order, you could be uncomfortable, in addition, you couldn't check your account information. 
 
  - Trading
When we couldn't use e-trading service,  we must take up equal exchange for  what you need.
 


2. REAL WAR

What do you think of next war?
  
 - Bit-coin (drugs, weapon)
This coin was made up by some engineering from Japan. Some country that  use this virtual coin.  However, many violent groups also use that for trading of drugs and weapons. If we couldn't use the internet, then their virtual accounting would be vanished. It would be one of those things that cause the war.
 
 - Anarchism (civil war)
   

3. Collapse transportation of the world
 - City ( bus, sky-train, metro )
 - World ( airplanes, ships, trains )

 Porteau Cove 


  Porteau Cove is situated on the most southerly river crossing in North America, the park features waterfront campsites with a view over Howe sound to the mountains beyond.

An old ship has been sunk to provide interest for scuba divers and to attract ocean life.
There are special facilities for divers. Close train tracks are active and occasional noise disturbance may occur.
 Location : 38 km north of Vancouver on Hwy 99, 20 km south of Squamish,
                8.5 km south of Britannia Beach
 Price : 30 dollars (per group /night)

 I think it's a good place for student camping because it's close to downtown Vancouver
it's not expensive for group camping,  we can swim in the summer  and kayak as well.
 As you can see in the picture it's a really beautiful place, the scenery is nice and we can feel the real nature.

This place is a really famous place for camping and many people want to go so you must reserve right now!!
