Everything Stopped

It all just stopped as someone spread the infection that those who knew how just quit! Little by little they did as smartphones became stupid, the internet stopped buzzing and the entire infrastructure basically collapsed. We ordinary citizens had no idea how to turn on the lights when all we did in the past was flick a switch. Before long we went back past the 1700s and started to try and survive on our own. The truth is we were paying those who sang a song/hit a ball the big monies when those who allowed us to hear and see them on the big screen received the scraps.  In the end, those who know are the ones we truly count on even if they have less money in their wallets to prove it.
