There's literally a 2012 Onion news skit about this:
"Google Shuts Down Gmail for Two Hours to Show its Immense Power"

[nicolashrv]

"Are we too dependant on Google?"
"I don't me google it"

[chrislopez]

“Some journalists had to rely on telephones to work with each and write their stories” welcome to journalism lol

[yohanbeck]

"what if google went down for not one hour - but for days" made me think how I run my company and where I save all important stuff.

[ottomuller]

"Are we dependent on Google?" - Question asked on Youtube.

[enzogarcia]

I fear the day when the whole world loses the internet. This pandemic would pale in comparison.

[mimosveta]

lol, imagine being so crazy to have your light controlled by google, with no option to switch it on by hand in case of, you know, just because

[petrluckhoff]

"it had already caused chaos"
Meanwhile:
Me not even realizing.

[lukyli]

"Even Stadia."

Oh no, anyway.

[parlor]

"some reporters had to resort to using telephones", Oh no, the horrors.

[vladimirlenin]

Imagine letting Google control your house.

[sexybunnyxox]

“We long for a day where no one runs anything”

Sounds ominous af

[OmarAlikaj]

Honestly, I never heard of Google being down until they were back up.

[websterexjedi]

Imagine waking up without Google and you can't Google what happened to Google

[Vooman]

3:02 "They had to resort to using telephones to collaborate."
Oh, the horror!

[theredbobcat]

"... even Stadia."

*gasps*

[bazmalaza]

"When it was all over, most people forgot about it and went about their day."

[Jabrils]

Oh, why hello there Skynet, didn't see you sneaking up on humanity like that.

[ian_b]

"The Cloud" is marketing speak for utter dependence on somebody else's systems. We've forgotten that the inspiration for the personal computer pioneers was getting the processing power out of mainframes and onto your desk where you could do whatever you want with it.

[jameslentsoane]

Yes, the world depends heavily on Google. I was affected as both my work and personal email accounts are from Google. I couldn't do any work. I even thought my company's IT division has failed again but to my surprise, all other services were online.
It is now time we explore alternatives.
