In a few short decades, the Internet became another Achilles heel. If the Internet goes, life as we know it goes right along with it.

And Obunga is doing his best to hand it over to foreign powers and multinationals - in return for some future personal riches, I'm sure.

Wait until management of ICANN is handed over to Zimbabwe.

I am SO ignorant of how computers, electrons and cyber whatever works, I am absolutely helpless and useless in the fight.

Frustrating.

[TMSuchman]

If the internet goes, well let’s just say that there are other ways of communicating with out gov’t fingers in it....

[gaijin]

Israel, China, Russia.

Obozo is determined to let all the world’s worst governments have influence in the administration of the basic structure and operations of the internet.

That is even more idiotic than allowing the likes of Saudi Arabia, et al. to chair the UN Human Rights Commission.

I wouldn’t feel too bad; I have a Master’s Degree in comp sci and I work in the field for the government, and I feel almost helpless and useless in the fight, too.

LOL.

Thanks for reminding me that “Mr. Robot” is on tonight.

Maybe this is why Netflix kept freezing last night? ;-)

No, that would be because of global warming :-)

[Aevery_Freeman]

Well, we built it once, we can do it again.

We'll have to, American kids are to lazy to write code.

[Mr. K]

just make sure you have seeds, canned and dried good, toilet paper, and some non-power tools

and the wherewithal to defend it.

[WKUHilltopper]

Yeah, Oturbo is.

Don’t be surprised if the Internet goes down today and Walmart is all out of canned Tuna next week, or your bank is closed, or your local gas station is out of gas, or ...

Worst kind of internet sabotage - ISP throttling your bandwidth!

[Karoo]

is streaming done over the Internet??
if the Internet breaks, does that mean I lose Netflix and Internet radio and tablet?

[RegulatorCountry]

I wonder what percentage of US economic activity is internet dependent now? I’ve read that several retailers’ online sales have exceeded brick and mortar sales already, not to mention exclusively online businesses such as Amazon.

It might be time to change your password on your wireless router.

[amorphous]

Yep

If you have an antenna you may still be able to watch Dancing With The Stars.
