Imagine you woke up tomorrow and there was no internet for a whole week. How would you cope?

B Natural answer

I'd probably start by writing down a simple plan for work, errands, and family. Then I’d use my phone less and save battery for important calls and messages. If I needed information, I’d look for information in person instead of searching online, which would be slower but manageable. I think the hardest part would be work, because so much is connected to the internet now. Still, I could cope by keeping things basic, asking more questions, and not expecting everything to happen instantly. It would be frustrating, but not impossible.
