Years ago, in the few times I've been without internet, yes, I was mad as a horn.

Now I just don't really care...long as I have my movies.

No, I'm just lazy so I'd rather we just constantly forget and rediscover basic science. I spend most of my time on the internet, much of it surfing for porm. I just think we could do fine without it.

Again.

I'm guessing pretty poorly. I guess I would survive as I don't really use the internet as much as I expect. Mostly some texting (does that count as internet) and doing stuff on these forums. I have to do research mostly through books because doing stuff on the internet tempts me to copy and paste too much, and typing something doesn't need the internet as farm as I'm concerned, and neither does my printer. I'd just be sad that half of my games would be useless, the other half is fine though. And I would probally just do more stuff with my friends, like currently we are making our own "extreme" risk board game.

there would still be telephones and cell phones

It's bad for some economies. In the case of the U.S. the explosion of technology has not been a good thing in a lot of ways. It happened so quickly that we haven't had time to adapt. It's allowed many U.S. companies to outsource more labor jobs to other countries. Between that and all of the jobs that have been eliminated through computer automation our working class has been decimated. We've shifted to an information and service-based economy, and it happened so quickly that a large percentage of our workforce isn't qualified for those types of jobs and probably never will be, so we're stuck with higher levels of unemployment until the ranks are filled with younger workers with different types of training.

Economies are all about rates and balance. When you change things very rapidly in one area there's going to be a vacuum left in another. The value of money is also relative. When some kind of new efficiency arises, unless it is exclusive to a certain organization/country/etc. it changes things across the board. An advantage that applies to every player in an economy doesn't result in an "improved" economy unless it's something that optimizes the way things are balanced. The commodities that play certain roles in the economy may shift and balances may temporarily shift one way or another, but something like higher efficiency through technology doesn't inherently "improve" an economy. In a lot of ways the U.S. economy was ostensibly better off in the decades preceeding the rise of the modern internet.

Yeah, the internet has done some great things. It's not all great, though. There are studies that show correlation between kids being bombarded with tons of content and an increase in learning disorders like ADD.
