BUSINESS world, hell.
Much of the government world happens online too. I know this for fact.
They are too hooked in to absorb the blow.
And as you said: Much of the government world happens online too.
Laz, I work in telecommunications and can back up what you said. If they shut down the internet, EVERYTHING stops. And I mean, EVERYTHING. Just stop and think for a minute how many times you access some form of the internet or data transfer in your daily life. The government, especially the Military, would be severaly hamstrung.
Do that and you will understand that if zero and his idiots shut down the internet, all hell will break loose.
