Achtung! Your Internet has just "fallen" and it seems that it will not return in the near future. Just do not panic! Or wait, maybe in this case it’s still worth the panic? Such things are very difficult to remember, so let's check with Google. Wait, which Google? The Internet does not work! All arrived, that's that. What to do now? How to survive in the world without the Net?
After a quick hyperventilation syncope, gather, take a deep breath and think that human civilization could exist for a long time and without such seemingly inherent benefits of modern civilization as the Internet. Of course, in this case there were “dark days” (an infinite number of archaic information carriers, in which the content was updated only in a few days, not seconds; the need for direct human contact and, worse by modern standards, lack of access to free porn) ) - humanity was able to survive this time. In this case, and you can! All you need for this is to carefully read this memo (or rather save it somewhere) and use it if absolutely necessary. Today we will talk about the "analog" versions of the most popular Internet services, without which any modern Internet user cannot do.
Twitter / Flipboard / "Zhezheshechki" - called "newspapers"
Want to find out the latest information about what is happening in your city or world? The first thing tomorrow morning you will need to leave the house, find the nearest kiosk with a printed press and ask for a daily newspaper. Yes, and in this case do not forget to take money with you, because you will have to pay for the newspaper. A little, from 20 to 50 rubles, depending on the edition. For the most desperate, there is also a subscription for six months or a whole year. Here prices will already vary from a few hundred rubles to several thousand.
So, you bought a newspaper ... Be careful, the edges of paper pages are much sharper than the screens of your now useless Internet-free smartphones and tablets. Do not cut yourself!
YouTube Video Hosting - Pepper Channel
Caught in a stressful situation due to the absence of the Internet, you probably want to relax and get a dose of positive. With the presence of the Web, there is nothing easier to go to YouTube and run all sorts of selections with the funniest videos from around the world. But since you do not have the Internet and will not, and you really want to entertain yourself by watching videos with cute and funny little animals, awkward situations and heroic acts of ordinary people, there is still a way out. For example (do not count for advertising), entertainment channel "Pepper", where almost every day there is more than enough of this good. And what's more, there you can meet some of the most popular Russian vlogers, such as Max 100500 and BadComedian. And if you try to “run around” on other TV channels, then, most likely, you will find this good even more. So do not waste time!
Streaming content - once called "film distribution" ... once ...
One of the charms (and in our case, one of the drawbacks) of the Internet is that you can easily find sites with large stocks of various feature films in very acceptable quality. Many of these sites, which are officially licensed, require a small bribe in the form of several hundred rubles per month (or a one-time fee for watching a particular film) to view their movie library. But before, people, if they wanted to watch some fresh film with Arnold “I'll be back,” Schwarzenegger, went straight to the film service shop, where, leaving a few dozen rubles, and often their passport, they took a couple of videos home or a CD with their favorite the movie. Most often the content was unlicensed, but nonetheless people could watch the latest movies.
Of course, this type of service can still be found in individual cities, but the vast majority of it was replaced by various streaming video rental services, which are accessed via the Network. We have no network, so you hit. Or not? If the desire to get acquainted with the latest works of Russian and foreign Hollywood directors is above your laziness, then there is a way out: the cinema. The set of films available for viewing in this case, of course, will be limited (you’ll see only new items, although some time ago the tradition of showing old and very popular films was still alive), but at least you won’t forget what a movie is.
Internet banking - called "bank cash"
Online banking is probably one of the most significant services offered to us by the “Internet age”, and, most likely, will be one of the most missing links for a comfortable life when the Network is disconnected. If you need money, you will have to go to the nearest local real bank - this is such an “analog” version of your mobile banking application - and perhaps even for the first time in your life to meet a live cashier. The cashier will give you access to your bank account information and help with various financial transactions. Oh yeah, another “bonus” of a real trip to the bank can be a live queue of similarly suffering visitors. But if you have the “experience” of going to the hospital, then you will withstand this test courageously. Brave yourself!
Social networks are called “bars” and “cafes”
There is no Internet, but are you still at home? We quickly put on our best outfit, bought on the latest Internet sale, and head straight to the nearest bar or cafe! There you can relax, have a drink, find out the latest rumors with news, and maybe even see Misha, Petya and Olya for the first time, which you added to your friends about three years ago on your VKontakte or Odnoklassniki page.
Instagram is called “Polaroid”
Fun fact: once your phone and photo camera were two completely different devices. Shocking? I agree. Even at the early stage of the beginning of the digital age, the simplest and fastest way to capture the bright moment of his life was the Polaroid camera. At the same time, the quality of photos that were obtained using such a camera could be envied by filters of any modern “instagrams” and “flikrov”, which will become completely useless in the absence of the Network. Now Polaroid cameras have become less popular, but nevertheless the brand has not died (although it has tried more than once), and new models can be found on the market. Which, by the way, can be ordered online. Catch the moment before it's too late.
The application "Maps" - called "card"
It may be useful for those who experience difficulties in orientation in the real world. Maps - they are practically the same as the “maps” application on your mobile device, except that physical maps are a bit more difficult to use, they do not show your exact location, do not give advice on choosing the best route and do not provide real-time information about congestion of certain road junctions. On the compass, perhaps, let's talk another time. For you, this can be even more shocking.
Mail.ru, Yandex, Google, Yahoo - called "Russian Post"
Internet does not work! This is an emergency situation, and you are worried about the arrival or not of a notification to your email confirming the order of a set of stickers and fridge magnetics from Amazon and eBay online services! You are joking? Properly prioritize!
Yandeks.Muzyka, VKontakte - called "radio"
The video killed the stars of the radio. When services such as YouTube, Vimeo, VKontakte and hundreds of thousands of other lesser-known and more horrendous video sharing services came on the scene, it’s very hard to imagine that classic radio could survive. Fortunately for our situation, it is really alive! It was here that our parents learned the latest news and listened to the top chart of the best songs a year before, even in the machines, built-in Wi-Fi receivers appeared.
