I think the media talk about "taking down the Internet" are kind of bogus.

Nobody has ever died because they couldn't check their email.

If the net went down for an hour, a day, or even a week I think that my
mom and the rest of the non "glued-to-their-terminal" world would somehow
struggle through and sustain a normal daily routine.
