[QUOTE="adventure_advocate, post: 2685076, member: 35983"] I'm sure all of you have heard about the Sony hack, which the US is blaming North Korea for... Well, apparently there have been "internet disruptions" in North Korea in the last few days and they are blaming the US for these interruptions. Have any of you thought about what would happen in the US if our internet were to be attacked and go down? I just had a discussion about this with a coworker and we came to the conclusion that if the internet went down the effects would be just as bad as the electric grid going down. Virtually everything is connected to the internet in one way or another these days. Phones would go down, TV service would likely go down, Banks would go down (hope you don't have all of your "money" sitting in a bank account if the internet would go down, that would be tragic), hell, the power grid would possibly even go down due to an internet failure because I'm sure LOTS of their stuff runs off of the internet! I think you get the idea..... I don't have an awesome understanding of how the internet works, but it seems that if it were to go down it could very possibly mean disaster for this country... what are your thoughts on this? I don't really want this to be a discussion about Sony and North Korea, but a discussion about the effects of the internet going down and the likelihood of that happening in the US?! [/QUOTE]
