Can you imagine the mayhem if the internet/cell service broke down for a month.

The lack of connectivity would keep people home more than anything else.

Look around & observe all those who cannot take more than 10 steps without checking their beloved phone. The thought of leaving the house without the phone is inconceivable.

How did we ever manage to live in pre cellphone & internet days?

One phone that was for home and dads business, long distance calls were timed, people learned to write letters with auto correct and spell check. I got to 40 wpm in typing class on an Underwood. And if you didn't answer the phone, they would call back. :B
