    The World Internet Infrastructure

    I was argueing with my friend and he things that the internet can be turned off.

    There is no fucking way, way to many central offices, hubs, and data centers with multiple redundant backup transport fiber. Even if the power was shut off than theres battery back up and desiel power.

    What you all think?

          offcourse you can do it. destroy some stuff in strategic places and the internet will be turned into 1000s of small netwerks unable to communicate with/reach each other...

              even the terrorists communicate via the web, so they'd hardly have a reason to destroy it

                      In 100 years it will be a real AI controlled sentient being.

                      I know that sounds 'out there' but that's the direction things are going.

                              if you hit the root nameservers , the servers that control the TLD's you can bring the internet somewhat to halt , unless the ppl know the ip of the site they want to get to

                                  If you can snag that little remote control from Kurt Russell, you might be able to, but otherwise I don't think its possible. You can take chunks out of it, but thats it.

                                  I could put stuff here, but you don't care.

                                      Totally shutdown? don't think so...

                                      Having a big part of it made unavailable? yep...

                                          I really don't think it's possible. Maybe only a major damage but no totally shutting it down

                                              Can be split into smaller 'nets', but not completely shut down.

                                                          It's the same thing.
