I think the media talk about "taking down the Internet" are kind of bogus.
Nobody has ever died because they couldn't check their email.
If the net went down for an hour, a day, or even a week I think that my mom and the rest of the non "glued-to-their-terminal" world would somehow struggle through and sustain a normal daily routine.

How many companies base profits on their internet connection? While you might survive, there would be a lot of money lost. Disrupting the economy seems to be the goal.
