What a total internet collapse would do to human behavior in the first week

Описание: Imagine a normal Tuesday morning where the internet doesn’t just lag—it vanishes. No Wi-Fi, no cellular data, no "handshake" between the servers that run our world. What happens to human behavior when the "behavioral prosthetic" we've relied on for 30 years is suddenly ripped away?

This isn't a dystopian fantasy; it’s a behavioral thought experiment grounded in logistical reality and historical infrastructure failures. We explore the "violent decompression" of society as the three pillars of modern life—Logistics, Finance, and Psychology—begin to fail in a cascading collapse.

[The Day-By-Day Breakdown]
• Day 0: The Glitch. We experience "Normalcy Bias," rebooting routers while the "thundering herd" collapses cellular networks.
• Day 1: The Illusion of Value. Why your bank balance becomes a "brick" and how "Just-in-Time" inventory systems suffer a cardiac arrest.
• Day 2: The Dopamine Crash. Collective withdrawal symptoms set in—irritability, anxiety, and the rise of tribal rumors to fill the information vacuum.
• Day 3: The Infrastructure Heart Attack. Water pressure drops, high-tech agriculture halts, and the pharmaceutical crisis triggers the first wave of unrest.
• Day 4: The Great Status Reset. The "Influencer" class faces an existential crisis while the "Invisible" class of mechanics and nurses becomes the new elite.
• Day 5: The Urban Trap. Cities begin to starve and "Reverse Urbanization" begins as urban refugees flee to rural areas.
• Day 6: The Analog Renaissance. Ham radio operators become the new ISPs and the "Brain Fog" of the digital age finally lifts.
• Day 7: The New Normal. We accept the silence and rediscover the oldest human survival mechanism: The Neighborhood.

At the end of the week, we realize the internet gave us the world but cost us our neighbors. Without the network, we don't just survive—we reorganize.
