I was 10 in 1994... so I really don't know. Perhaps work on developing a replacement?

What would you do if the internet simply ceased to work ever again?

Tubgirl was traumatizing. I hated the sight of it so much, I sent it to a friend. Now, every time I think of that, I start laughing. He said he saw it just before dinner, and it ruined his appetite."In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
—Orson Welles as Harry Lime

If you have a strong stomach, go to google images. It will the first image that pops up. Yes I just checked on images to make sure. I could only glance quickly, because it hurts my eyes so much.
edit: there's even a wikipedia entry on it . this is the way to learn about tubgirl without actually seeing the horror.

Oh, I've seen that before. I'd seen things even worse than that, so it didn't traumatize me as much. I'm still a worse person for having seen it.
BTW, I knew that picture as the "Hershey Turnover girl" You can probably understand why.I'm about to get aroused from watching the pokemon and that's awesome. - Pekka

So then I ask, what were you doing in 1994?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Spend less time pondering meaningless "what-if" questions.

In 1994 or earlier I was using BBSes so um. I did basically give up the internet during most of my late teens and college days, except of course to do research, which I could have done at the library.
If the internet went away the thing I'd miss most is 'watching' Sportslines gamecast for baseball while at work and fantasy leagues. So I would be a slightly more productive employee. Now I'd probably be reading which I will be doing in 15 minutes anyway.
I also wouldn't be able to get sports tix as easily and would have to alway pay ticket masters jacked up rates. Hmm I'd only be slightly less well off. Oh except the time I worked in billing for an ISP.Accidently left my signature in this post.
