According to AP reports, about half past midnight, the internet went dark in Egypt. Can you imagine it. Is something like that even possible. Well in a country with near tyrannical rule, perhaps, but could it happen in a place like our beloved USofA.
"It can't happen here," said Jim Cowie, the chief technology officer and a co-founder of Renesys, a network security firm in Manchester, N.H., that studies Internet disruptions. "How many people would you have to call to shut down the U.S. Internet? Hundreds, thousands maybe? We have enough Internet here that we can have our own Internet."
Well thank goodness. If the internet went dark, how could I tweet, or Facebook, or Skype, or blog, or eat, or even live..........
Well I guess the good news is we'll never know.
