>But if GMail and Google Docs (both personal and business GSuite versions) were to suddenly shut off, I dread the impact it would have on the economy.

I was talking mostly about Google Search.

These too I'd mark as even more insignificant as such.

There would be some impact on the economy, but more like those frequently recurrent "X billions lost due to Y2K preparations" or "Y billions lost due to malware" etc -- nothing much that people would really care about.

In any case, nothing like not having the source of the majority of energy and transport fuel.
