Well, it would take a long time to find out if I was. In the
meantime, once I realized I was the only person left on a local
level, I'd build up supplies and figure out how to run the power
generators. That'd be the first step. === "How would you feel
and what would you do if you woke up one day and were the only
person left on Earth?" a) I would "feel" like I should do
something to continue living. b) I would gather resources to
attempt to continue the basics of life-as-I -remember it. c)
Food, getting electricity started, water supplies. d) From
there, once I have some sense of SAFETY and security, I would
develop a routine in order to learn everything possible about
anything until I die. == Once I reached survivability: I'd break
down and cry and mourn no longer being able to depend on anybody
else ever again for anything at all. I'd have to do it myself.
Whatever it was. I'd have no one to bounce ideas off of, like I
do right here in this group or in real life. No Google to look
up answers 'til I got to California and turned their servers
back on again. No Internet 'til I put it back together again.
I'd do a lot of writing. Incessant writing. I'd do it for myself
just in case I forgot anything. I'd do it for any POTENTIAL
alien visitors or human survivors but again, since in this
question they absolutely don't exist, I'd be doing it for myself
and to reinforce my own memory. Once I got the Internet running
again, ,I'd visit everything I could and start my lifelong
learning process. It will keep me occupied and I will decide to
figure out "all the answers" before I die. It will keep me busy.
== No, I just want the information from as much of the Internet
that I can. The Internet Archive has a good portion of the web
archived. I just need their servers to start with. I don't care
about the infrastructure of the web. It's the data, which is
simply stored on hard drives and I would access those hard
drives from their sources. I'd live with the servers as long as
I needed them. == My first priority would be to gather MY stuff.
I have some stuff archived there already: My Vines :
[1]
https://archive.org/details/kennethudut&tab=about - 10,000 of
them are there. I also have [2]
http://icopiedyou.com which is
another archive of my brain online. I have to take care of NOT
losing my own history first. Then, once that is secured, I can
explore new knowledge. == I don't want to travel. I want
security. I'm assuming animals and plants are still alive, so
they become my worry. Plus the weather. == If I learn enough, I
could figure out a teleportation device and learn enough about
medicine to extend my own life a few decades longer, as I'd have
access (once I learn how to power everything easily) to any
equipment anywhere, assuming the supplies haven't decayed. ==
You already removed all life globally and are talking about
alien rescues. I think I can imagine being able to invent a
teleportation device, figuring out free energy, and life
extension beyond normal limits as I'd ONLY have to worry about
"getting it right" for myself and nobody else. == best part and
worst part of it is? There will be nobody to tell me I'm doing
it wrong. No critics. [and also, no critics] = There's critics
and a society that binds me to obligations. I do the best I can
within the parameters I'm allowed. == Also, as you can see, I
like socializing online. I will miss that. I could give up
socializing online and pursue those things but then I'd miss
socializing online. ==
