If Google was down for 30 minutes, what would happen?

We all rely more or less on Google. In fact, when we open the browser on our computer, Google is the first thing we search. Have you ever thought that if Google were to be shut down for 30 minutes, what would be the impact on our real lives? Before I talk about this, I cannot resist the temptation to share a small piece of information. And that is, Google was shut down once in August 2013 for 2-3 minutes. The surprising fact is that in just those 2-3 minutes, the entire Internet traffic decreased by 40%. A similar event happened in May 2009. Now imagine what would happen if Google was shut down for at least 30 minutes in 2016 or any time after? Although today’s tune is a technology-based tune, I ask everyone to read it as partial tech humor. Because I had a great hobby of writing tech humor. I want to fulfill that hobby a little bit with this tune. But without further ado, let’s see what would happen if Google was shut down for 30 minutes?

At first no one will believe it!

At first, no one will believe that Google is down. So for the first few minutes, everyone will be busy checking their Internet connection. Some will call their ISP to report the problem. Some will start complaining about hardware problems in their computers. Can you believe this?

What happens when there is faith?

Some people will notice that Google is down. Some people will be stuck between belief and disbelief. They will desperately keep reloading the Google homepage to see when it will be up. Because when something is not there, people feel the need for it more. And when they realize that Google is down, the things they will do are –

• People all over the world will be busy sharing screenshots of Google server errors. For example – Error 500!
• There will be a storm in Facebook newsfeed about Google being shut down. All the issues in Bangladesh like militancy, Indian elephants, rape, corruption, everything will be lost under Google.
• People will start looking for alternative search engines. But what will they search for? Because most people don’t know that there are other search engines besides Google. Think about it, how many search engines do you know?

• Microsoft Bing and Yahoo search engines will be flooded with traffic. Because they are the last hope to find out the real facts.
  Search engines like DuckDuckGo (a search engine that never tracks) will be busy with their own campaigns. Some people will think it is good that Google is shutting down, because now people will not be tracked anymore.
• Many Internet applications that use Google services will stop working. And just because Gmail is closed, the whole world’s trade and commerce will collapse.
• Not only Google, but most of the companies in the world that depend on Google will suffer huge business losses.
• Those who use Google Maps may get lost in the middle of the road.
• YouTube lovers will be sitting with tears in their eyes, and Google’s competitors will be singing songs of joy at this time. Some will be busy creating various trolls.
• But after all this, China will have no problem. Tell me, what is the reason?

What will happen when Google returns to its original form?

When Google comes back after solving all the problems, they will first analyze this problem and give a press briefing. Technology enthusiasts around the world will try to find various reasons for this. Without knowing the truth, they will come up with various theories. Besides, some hackers who want to get recognition will spread stories that they are behind this incident. Bangladeshi hacker groups can also claim this achievement. There is nothing surprising about it.
