When the human race ends (which it inevitably will), and a new civilization forms (this wouldn't necessarily happen- it depends on the condition of the planet) -would our internet still function if there was one remaining working computer from our time?

It would work if the remaining working computer is a server, sort of.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, UmHmmmmmmmm, yes, yes I see.

For there to be an internet there has to be more than one computer. One server wouldn't be a network, it would just be a server. If there were two servers, it would be a network. A very small network, yes, but a network. If all the servers remained intact (for some reason), then yes, it would still function. But since that's not likely, and since servers eat up a lot of electricity, it's extremely unlikely that this would happen. If (by some miracle) we stop using fossil fuels and switched to renewables, and the power grid still functioned, there may be a post-apocalyptic internet, granted that a majority of the servers still functioned properly.
Of course, as with any system, it would ultimately degrade and shut down eventually.

Idea: Convert all archived information online into stone tablets.

Get to work.
