"Steve Carrell may be seeking a friend for the end of the world, but here at Mashable, we're more concerned with the end of the Internet. \nCan you imagine it? Instead of an iPad, you'd be clutching a weighty $1,200 Encyclopedia Brittanica as you rock yourself to sleep. And instead of tweeting with pals halfway around the world, we'd be licking stamps that would total $6.3 trillion in the United States alone. We're cringing at the thought.\n\nSEE ALSO: The Internet Is Ruining Your Brain [INFOGRAPHIC]\nOnline Education created this graphic detailing the nightmare that would be the world without Internet. Sure, we're grateful to the World Wide Web for giving us all the joy of narcoleptic cats and the controversy of @Sweden. But evidently, what we really have to be thankful for is how many jobs the Internet has created. Facebook alone has created 450,000 jobs, and the Internet establishes 2.6 jobs for every job it renders obsolete. And we all know that cat videos are that much more enjoyable to watch when you're supposed to be working.\nWhat would be your biggest nightmare in a world without Internet? Let us know in the comments. \n\nThumbnail image courtesy of iStockphoto, JamesBrey"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
