A WORLD WITHOUT THE INTERNET

CRITICAL THINKING FILE 002

WHAT IF THE INTERNET DISAPPEARED TOMORROW?

No social media. No instant messages. No online searches.

No streaming. No video calls. No endless scrolling.

WOULD THE WORLD FALL APART... OR WOULD WE REDISCOVER SOMETHING WE'VE FORGOTTEN?

Welcome to A World Without™, a thought-provoking series that encourages learners to question everyday systems, challenge assumptions and imagine alternative futures.

In File 002, learners explore what might happen if the internet suddenly disappeared.

Would people communicate differently? Would communities become closer? How would schools, businesses and families adapt?

And perhaps the biggest question of all...

COULD LIFE ACTUALLY BE BETTER WITHOUT IT?

Through eight engaging thinking challenges, learners investigate the immediate consequences, longer-term changes and unexpected possibilities of a world without the internet.

They'll explore who might benefit, who might struggle and whether they would choose to bring the internet back.
