Except it’s not forever. It could definitely go away, and I would bet that it will.
I mean yeah, all the electricity could stop working and then how would we get on the internet? I like to think about this scenario sometimes, how there would just be all this hardware laying around with all this data on it and no way to access it.
People who have solar won't have to worry about that too much.
The mainline infrastructure might go down, but as long as you can provide your own power and have your own setup, anything you archive and backup will still be accessible to you.
Then people can link routers to create mesh-style intranets and pass around USBs to share data between "islands". Maybe even use long-range point-to-point links to connect meshes in a wider area.
Life uh... finds a way...
