Oh My God Destroy all internet its not impossible
you must stop all backbone and datacenters in all country and

I was talking with my professor and advisor at school and he was telling us about some hackers that got into and almost crippled the internet. He said something like there is a place htat has huge servers and computers that run the internet. There is something like 14 computers that do it all and some hackers were able to get in to 3 of them. That's pretty scary when you think about it. One thing's for sure...if someone were to take out the internet....somebody would work harder just to get it back up and running. It'll be interesting to see if anything crazy happens in the next few years with these e-terrorists lol.

It is, in theory, such a possibility for destroying the whole Internet. At the same time, destroying all electronics in the process. It's if a nation decides to blow the world's economy by dropping a massive EMP bomb. It will take us a good half of a century to repair this damage. It will cost us quadrillions of dollars to fix this.

I don't think you are able to destroy the internet unless you destroy every configuration in the world which is not possible seeing as there are so many countries in the world and so many servers to take down. If anything, the internet will be destroyed by a national phenomenon, and not by mankind. The Taiwan earthquake was a good example, it crippled South East Asia's connection for a few days and it took time for them to actually fix it. At the same time, they had planned backup connection cables, although not as fast as the original, but it provided a stable alternative. Following this incident, I am sure they willl build more backup cables to assist in situations which may occur like the earthquake. But imagine 6 earthquakes occurring at the same time and hitting each continent, if that ever happens (unlikely) but lets not rule that out, our internet connection would be gone. If 1 day, we ever found a way to be transmitting information over the internet through the air instead of using cables, then there could be a solution that we may never ever get our internet connection down due to a natural phenomenon.

I don't think that to destroy the internet. Internet is a "world big lan" of computers connected each other and it has high security and firewalls. Also there are many strong companies, organisations and goverment beside the Internet... so Its so difficult or impossible

take scissors to the mainframe, that's what i say.


You know, all those computer viruses can easily be used to take the whole interenet world hostage. That would effectively render us incaple of using the internet, at least for a while. And of course the economy would suffer, people wouldn't be able to earn a living, and the whole society would be in turmoil. As for recovery, i'm sure that would happen. I don't think you can destroy the interenet forever, if only for the simple reason that somebody, somewhere, would know how to set it back up.

If EVERYONE would quit using it, it would be destroyed. But the chances of that is none.

or u could go to all the hosting company's bases and destroy their servers....the more servers u destroy, the less people get hosted, if u do it on a worldwide basis and destroy every single computer thats being hosted on, then u might have a chance to get rid of the internet for a few days, untill people start to get new servers..i dont know if i made sense at all...lol, but anywayz...its impossible...

You can destroy sections of the internet, but it is nearly impossible to destroy every single server in the world, thus truly destroying the internet, and this possibility is very, very remote. Taking out key servers owned by ISPs can render the internet inaccessible, but not truely destroyed. Even then, people can revert to the many hobby BBSes that roam various parts of the world, though I doubt that anyone is willing to look behind the poor graphics of the BBS world.
