Sounds a bit weird doesn't it?

Georgian police arrested Hayastan Shakarian after she allegedly hacked through a fibre optic cable that runs through Georgia to Armenia, while digging for copper.
With one stroke, the pensioner plunged 90% of internet users in Armenia into online darkness for nearly 12 hours.
The episode is a timely reminder that all it takes in our hi-tech world to shut down thousands of companies for a day is a determined old lady with a spade.
The rest of the article is mainly about how much the modern day needs the internet and how without it many of the people would loose the abilty to breath (/sarcasm).
Which can take us to another point completly.
How much do we rely on the internet?
The two main uses of the internet (not including pr0n) are for buisness and for socialising. Without it do you think the world of today could cope and sustainably love without it?
