I was re-watching some episodes of Life After People and remembered about a similar show called Aftermath - which also explored the "sudden zero population" idea along with the population suddenly doubling, oil running out, etc.
As such, I thought I'd throw in this "thought experiment" and ask what do you think would happen if the Internet was "switched off" for a substantial amount of time - which I'd put anywhere between a few months to a year.
To paraphrase Life After People, this discussion isn't about how it could/would happen (I'm sure you could make up a logical or fantastical reason on your own), but rather what you think would happen to humanity and our world/way of life in the short and long term - considering how technology/internet-dependent many of us (and much of our lives) are.
I'd like to see the opinions that you guys may have regarding this scenario.
