I'm not sure how old you are, but assuming you've lived your entire life with the internet and computers, would you be able to adapt to a life without it? I suspect most of us would if we were sufficiently motivated. What would that look like? Probably a stronger reliance on our communities for commodities we were not able to produce ourselves: I'm a carpenter, hunter, and can make alcohol...who can help with my solar setup or gardening?

Now, if that was to still happen, some sort of the Mad Max scenario... Then I completely agree with @SkepticalOne: humans are very adaptable, and, after the initial shock, life will go on. There have been precedents of something of this kind: after the Iranian revolution, within a couple of years the way the Iranian society functioned was totally restructured, the quality of life of citizens dropped significantly as all the foreign sanctions and devastating domestic economical policies came into effect, and a rapidly developing modern country became a totalitarian impoverished hell - yet life continued, people did not become barbarians overnight, and the system remains stable to this day.
I was fortunate (or unfortunate; depending how you look at it) to grow up in several different post-Soviet countries of the 90-s, where living conditions were really bad. Internet? Mobile phones? How about living with no fridge, no stable electricity, water shutting down randomly throughout the day, empty shelves in grocery stores, crime rates through the roof, people sniffing toxic wastes in public to get high and shooting heroin on children's playgrounds? Yet people found joy in simple things, they adapted. Have to walk 5 kilometers to the river and 5 kilometers back to do laundry? Okay, let's go!
You can go to many areas of the world today where living conditions are unacceptable by the standards of most Western people. Go to the suburbs of Kolkata, where people live like this:
They do not look particularly satisfied with their lives, obviously - but they also are not murdering each other day and night. It is a bad life, but it is not the end of the world. And getting to this way of living in a country with a much more developed culture, such as the US, would probably look more like this:
Might look a bit boring, but, again, people will get used to it, adapt, move on and learn to enjoy simple things.
