...


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...
 Quoting: Dr. Acula


You are forgetting we have the nukes this time.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34244463


Btw, why would you want to return to this we have now? I'd think this right here is the problem.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34244463


About the nukes...

All you see now was here before...

This isnt the first time humans advanced to this level...

We're not even the most advanced civ...

I've seen the Akashic Records wink

And the problem isnt the internet... The problem is the same everytime...

Greed.
 Quoting: Dr. Acula


Internet is porn. Porn is good. Therefore internet must be good.

In case of ever rebuilding... I wanna be a Cimmerian Barbarian.

"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.

I think most of this thread is BS.
But quite interesting BS.


BBS won't work as most telcos have converted their networks to VOIP with only the last bit of the connection running off a phone line.

But what about transmitting over the power cables, they run everywhere.

Or we could go back to internet basics and everyone provides a connection from themselves to their neighbours.

Re: The Internet Could Crash - WE NEED A BACKUP PLAN
there's not going to be any backup plan. it's too late.

Having the internet is one thing, but to let it run your life is another. to put everything of this world online without a backup has created, really, the perfect target, from any logistical standpoint.

with the magnetic field weakening as the poles shift, all it would take is one powerful coronal mass ejection and our gooses are cooked, literally.

all it'll take is one giant emp and we're back to the stone age within a year..i can't believe there's no backup plan for this

Every time i have to charge my phone i angerly cuss.

If Tesla's endeavors had went unhindered there would be no need for batteries, no need for cables, optics, fossil fuels...

Imagine electric cars that get their power right out of the air...

Yes it is a possibility! So some research on Tesla!

Power stations on the poles tapping into the earth own EMF broadcasting free electric to all humanity via the ley lines...

We wouldnt be fightin in the middle east, the rockefellers wouldnt be butt fucking us all...

Standard oil would have crumbled... No illuminati cover front...
They would have crumbled, and lost their power...
FUCK YOU EDISON!

If Tesla had succeeded...
No illuminati today...

We could use the same ley lines to communicate to each other for FREE!
Internet speeds at quantium speeds to ours homes! No need for routing nodes that zap your DNS requests zigged all over earth...

They couldnt track and monitor us...

The hinderance of Tesla's vision for us... Enslaved us all...
 Quoting: Dr. Acula


Could you recommend something good to read on Tesla? I have done some research but haven't found much.

You would think if Tesla was smart enough to draw electricity from the Ether, for wireless energy, someone else would be smart enough to use this energy to connect our computers and make a crash proof internet, with no off switch. I am smart enough to conceive it, but not smart enough to create it.

I'm with Danny Hillis a million percent.

He remembers the days when the internet was pure and all about communication, simply put.

He registered the third ever domain name.

THIS MAN GETS IT.

He gets it.

I have been talking about this for a while...

Everyone seems to think it's so impossible.

Well ALL OF OUR ENERGY problems would have been completely UNHEARD OF today if Tesla's technology would have been allowed by TPTB.

Not to mention all of our communication problems...

There'd be no need for those stupid fucking wires under the ocean to connect us all through the 'grid'.

When are you people going to fucking understand.

Re: The Internet Could Crash - WE NEED A BACKUP PLAN
THe bigger question is, Just how many internets are there now?

One?
Two?
A hundred thousand?

What is the difference between a Local Area Network in your home, a Block Area Network on your block, a Campus Area Network one your Ward (or several of them), a City Area Network, a County Area Network (or dozens of them), a State Area Network, a National Network, and the World Wide Web?

What is the difference?

So many seem to be of the mind-set that there is only on Internet. How stupid.

DNS and Internet/Intranet addresses.. outside of physical infrastructure, is what in essence makes up the so called World Wide Web.. that's it.

Every Laptop, Every Desktop, has the capablity to be a Web Server if the owner desires to add in or use the server soft ware.

If everyone on Earth today had a 1Kw AM radio transmitter, using frequencies form 400Khz to 100Ghz.. well, some say there would be massive chaos.. so the frequency ranges are held for wifi to be in a 2.4Ghz band and a second 5.4 Ghz band..

Seven Billion people.. figure it out. Why do any of use actually need to even use a so called ISP? Oh, that's right, REGULATION.

Internet will only crash when the power grid is fried as well such as in the event of a solar kill shot or some super duper EMP strike.
