I wonder how many would know how to get a radio if it came to it. “Okay, I just need to get a radio from Amazon… Shiiiiit”

Immediate? no. Rapid, yes.
We have had mass communication since before the internet and those technologies still exist outside the internet. (TV, phones, radio)
The internet is not as fragile as people think, small pockets of internet will come back online independently of each other and will eventually become interconnected again. Maybe a month to get a country up and going and then a couple more months to get continents connected again.

Pretty much all cars come with radios…

I’ve actually gone back to listening to the radio. The music is shit, but I don’t have to think about it, and the hosts chatter is surprisingly comforting. Great background noise for working or chores

I stopped listening to the radio cause it’s more ads than music or chatter

I see an immediate collapse followed by a quick recovery, personally. If the Internet goes down, a lot of other shit goes down too…until we get the old telegraph lines running again.

Those are just really slow internet cables.

Internet is just a really fast messenger pidgeon.

It sometimes can be a better option to move data, since storage density is pretty high
