Unprepared for Net meltdown

I was thinking about this possibility in the morning when I later came across this article. This should be interesting. A single day without internet is hard to imagine these days and here the gurus are talking about a complete meltdown. Apart from the financial crisis this would cause across the globe, I'm thinking it might not be so bad on a lower level. It just might compel some retards ( read me ) to get back in the real world.
