I often wonder what would happen if one day google was just gone. I would imagine the internet would be in complete chaos.

The people who don't know what the address bar on their browser is would be in some serious trouble. (Not being a smarty pants. As someone who works with a lot of computer illiterates I've become painfully aware that there's a large user-base who don't know you can get somewhere on the internet without Google)

Only very briefly. There are good alternatives for everything Google does. In some cases, the alternatives are better.
