I believe some of the challenges our community would face without internet would be entirely up to the agency or person, I can't see business shuting down for this reason, not in our small communities. Yes life is much easier with internet but I believe the economical, social and educational services can survive without it. I've worked in various departments here in my community for the past 25 years and not once have I had to rely on internet(or else because of my iliterancyI would have probably been fired)
