One of our super abilities as humans is being able to adapt to any situation we find ourselves in. If we woke up one day to the whole internet shut down permanently, we would miss a lot of things.

No more link up with friends and allies globally: The internet makes it easy and fast to connect with our friends in different countries and those in our country but far from us, within secs our messages are delivered but when internet is gone, that is when we will realize what we will miss because we would lose contact with this beautiful people forever, we don't even have most of their numbers, we just connect through chat and form beautiful bonds... This is only possible with the internet, and we will be forced to go back to the days of darkness and limited knowledge.
It is not just friends, allies and bosses we would lose, the source of income of those of us who are invested and also work online will all be gone, may we never encounter a situation that will take us back to zero, but that is what it will be if such a thing happened especially when we didn't prepare for it by investing offline or having a skill.
If this happens, how will I survive? Do I have a Skill that will save me?
Unfortunately, I have no skill. Immediately after I finished secondary school, I started working. My first job was in a factory, where I worked for six months before quitting and venturing into teaching, which I did for seven years before I discovered web3.
If the Internet stops today, will I suffer? It will be a big blow to my finances, but I trust in God, the birds have no farm, yet He feeds them daily, so I don't think it is the end for me if the internet crashes today.
It is never too late to learn a Skill, and one that I would love to learn is Fashion designing. I love it because it has more to do with creativity and is not as stressful and risky as some others.
I can't imagine myself learning electrician work because I am scared of getting electrocuted.
I would love to be a fashion designer who sews different kinds of clothes like Agbada, suit, and other modern clothes, to learn this would take me 2 years to perfect all, and then I can have my shop and life goes on.
I choose Tailoring because it still allows me to work indoors, or should I say under a roof, but if we should leave that aside, I would go for farming, I love nature, and Farming is the closest thing to that.
I just know I am going to thrive like I always do; the end of one source of income is the beginning of another.
I love this prompt as it is a wake up call for us all, if internet goes down today, what have we set down offline to survive, it could be business or any other thing, just make sure you do not rely on only one source of income, do not put all your eggs in our basket.
Just call me Burl.
