I would feel somehow sad in a way. For anyone even though they may not touch a computer it would still affect them. This is because of transport of products which depend on computer to arrive having many schedules. I also wouldn’t be able to use computer to just make life easy. My life would be completely changed. I wouldn’t be able to play computer games, have a website, participate in social websites, be in a chatroom, maybe not even phone someone, not able to watch many TV shows and not be able to just listen to the radio. It would take so long for opur country to adjust to a very important tool called the computer.
We may not be able to do bussiness on the internet. On a whole it would affect many people in their jobs. There would be thousands and thousands of people left without jobs. e.g Optus may provide services to other companies and other companies may provide services to Optus and so all of them would be affected.
