[/quote] There won't be a rebuild. There will be a total annihilation. [/quote] This world has been built up and torn down so many damned times it would boggle the mind. The planet is a factory for life... It gets rid of ruin and makes it possible for new life to prosper... Once this civilization comes crashing down... Another will pop up several thousand years later... The new civilization will be as clueless about us as we are about our predecessor(s) But... If our legacy could endure and reconnect the survivors... It wouldnt take thousands of years to return to what now is... [/quote] You are forgetting we have the nukes this time. [/quote]

"What we need is a plan B... there is no plan B right now, there's no clear backup system that we very carefully kept to be independent of the internet . . . what we need is something that doesn't necessarily have the performance of the internet . . . this doesn't need to be a multi-billion dollar government project. It's actually relatively simple to do technically because it can use existing fibers that are in the ground, existing wireless infrastructure.
It's basically a matter of deciding to do it.

THANK YOU, Danny Hillis and TEDTalks FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE... THE TRUTH. WE NEED A NEW COMMUNICATIVE MEDIUM.
