[quote=GRIZ326,266492]The Internet is the closest thing that the world has to a mesh network. A mesh network is nearly impossible to bring down in its entirety; even if a path goes down, there is another path for the communications to travel. There have been a number of white papers written about spreading a computer worm very rapidly through the internet. It would not actually bring down the network itself, but rather would flood the Internet with worm traffic and disable a large percentage of the servers on the network; the net effect would be to shut down the Internet. Were something like this to happen, the internet would be restored in a relatively short period of time; unless the event was a prelude to some dramatic event, like a military attack. People and business would go on without the Internet even though the world might get a little bigger. So...do you remember how to use your abacus? ;-)[/quote]
