RFC: Blanking all Wikipedia as SOPA protest

Re:RFC: Blanking all Wikipedia as SOPA protest by Shenglong on Tuesday December 13, 2011 @12:39AM (#3346466)

I actually would not know what to do, if Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Wikipedia all blacked out for a day. I just asked myself this, and I came up with several responses which all have problems:

1. I'd go outside and do something -> But I can't use Facebook to coordinate anything.

2. I'd go out and eat -> I can't google places to eat, or google map where they are.

3. I'd just absorb information -> Oh wait... Twitter and Wikipedia are down.

Fml.

Please tell me that this was tongue in cheek talk.

I felt so sad when I read these points and really hope you have a life without these services.

Up vote from me. I thought it was funny. In fact, I might even know some people who would suffer through the cycle you described.

Seriously?

There are 100 million of other websites.

You can use a phone to coordinate something.

You can go out and eat at a place you went to before.
