RE: Internet vulnerability... my take on it (Internet kill switch)

in #internet8 years ago

Superb post @dwinblood!
I saw that episode too on South Park(I am refering to the gif that you put) ....and hey it could be many other reasons as well can be a natural thing ...like a meteor strike or earthquake that somehow damages all the tech that we have...(for sci fi purpose only we imagine that olso satelites get destroyed).
But...on a personal level ...look...I am from Romania...here ..ugh...well...internet doesnt really affect this country...I mean we are in the first countries for internet power connection providers but..really now ...the are some places in my country where some people dont even know about internet.
If suddenly it will be no more internet for me and many other people, our life will continue with no stress, riots or killings.
Our live will just continue to be the same as always...witch is ...well...crap!

I am old enough and from rural parts of the U.S. I remember pre-internet. I own a cell phone because I need one for work. I am not a fan of phones. I honestly could survive just fine without the internet, though my job would no longer exist. I've lived a good portion of my life without it.

I do think it is an important invention though and I'd do whatever I could to restore it.
