No

Has one of your DC been set this as their homework and you don’t have the headspace to help out yourself?

Why don't you start, OP?

I wouldn't be barked at to "discuss" anything, for a start.

After you, OldSpeckledHen .

I'd stop reading mumsnet and get the hoovering done.

Suicides would increase

I fucking hate 'discuss'

Wouldn't be seeing this post for a start

How lazy of you OP.
I also hate 'discuss' .

The world would literally collapse.

Your OP is like a really lazy lesson for yr9. I really don't like 'discuss' either. You could at least have started off and given your opinion rather than barking an order.

Well as the Internet is the actual wires, computers, servers etc it can't be turned off.

If you mean the world wide web, well it would be up again in no time.

So OP People should know the difference between the internet and the web. Discuss.

Crusty socks by the laptop would no longer be a thing.

How about you share your points first OP?

OPs that simply say Discuss should be banned

I would get lots of jobs done but wouldn't be able to buy anything.

My 16 year old DD would probably have a mental breakdown but I wouldn't miss it a bit.

I’d be really fucking bored and have nothing to do.

Most of my teenage years were pre Internet. I still remember the fucking boredom of 4 shit TV channels and bugger all else to do.

I fully embrace the Internet and screens of all sizes.

I couldn't buy stuff on eBay

There would be many traumatised teenagers.

And Virgin doesn't offer counselling for them even when you've been off for 3 days.
I know. I asked.

My house would be a lot more tidy

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Banking and most industry would collapse.

Most of us would recover. There would be unexpected silver linings.
I'm a bit in favour of it to be honest.
