For 20 years, I have wondered…
What would happen if the “ entire Internet “ went down??
[What would happen if the “ entire Internet “ went down??]
That’s what I hated about the 2008 crash / COVID-19(84)
Everything seemed to be “internet” - no personal contact
That’s how I always got jobs - granted I use the Internet a LOT - a single EMP in the right place, or a few in a few places, could all but shut it down.
It is not the entire Internet...but most Windows based systems in large companies are affected. Most of the Internet infrastructure actually runs on Linux. There are likely holes in Linux that could as easily have the same affect too. This just demonstrates the problem with a monoculture. Whether agriculture or computers it is a bad idea
