Totally screwed. Couldn't recieve or pay my bills either. Everything I do online, short of buying groceries and gasoline. (and I wouldn't get far with that, since CC/debit machines would likely be down too)

No biggie .....

If interwebz, computers and cell phones disappeared, the quality of life would probably improve because people would have to come out of their little cocoons and start talking to each other again
