To be honest, I feel if we did not have technology life would be way more easier and quieter. There is a lot that technology has done for use, especially in making life easier for us and to be honest, for everything technology has done, there are things we are still missing out on, especially when it comes to experiencing real life. Technology has made it difficult for a lot of people to relate to reality especially with things such as virtual reality. However if technology should suddenly go away and we are left to live like the stone age, many people will first die.

The very first thing that will kill people will be hunger as a lot of people have become so lazy that the only thing they think about is sitting home and having tech do all the work. Many of such people will not survive a month in the stone age especially if they need to farm for their food. At that point even BTC will not have value, the dollar will be useless and the only thing that will be tradeable will be skills or physical possessions. This was how it was in the stone age and if this happens especially with the population of the current world, there will be a reckoning until people begin to die in order to create a balance.
Life isn’t fair and a lot of people will experience just how unfair life can be, especially those whose very existence strives on technological advancement. Farmers will be the most successful people on the planet because any one who controls people’s stomach is equal to a king or president. I do not even count myself among those who will survive for long as my skills are mostly technology based, except for acting and diplomacy which could be counted as a passive skill. Perhaps I will live anyway.
