Within three weeks we would be back to 1840, says Boston-based computer security analyst, Robert Siciliano, of www.IDTheftSecurity.com , who paints a doomsday scenario about the potential crash of the web. The internet controls electricity, it controls running water, it controls commerce, we have become to rely on the internet in a way. If it were to cease to function today, life as we know it would cease to function, Siciliano says.

  • ...I would normally, not be surprised by this...But this is coming from FOX NEWS just mind you that people. -_-

  • Twenty years ago life didn't look that much different on the street in many respects, but since so many basic aspects of life have been transfered into an online interface, if the internet really crashed, we would lose far more than just what was gained in the last 20 years. While the internet may be fairly resilient, I think that we have as a society almost entirely forgotten that the internet is still basically a brand new phenomenon; and that is what is truly frightening.

  • we'd all be healthier for it but i still wouldn't wish it on anyone. it's a damn shame that we put so much responsibility and rely everything on the internet like water. ALWAYS have backup.

  • NOW they claim that Japan has a micro-chip in exchange for windows/microsoft.
