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?

Anywho, thanks for reading and if you have any points or comments to add leave a comment Awesome face

This reminds me of a something one of my lecturers told me. The fastest internet connection in the world belongs to a 95 year old grandma who doesnt use it at all. It's the biggest exchange in the world and she lives next door. Im way jelly.Gaspkay:

Dang man, Thats horrible. A 75 year old lady? Who has never heard of the internet? Hacked the intire network? Impossible. I honestly think when she was digging and accidentaly hit the cable that connects Georgia to America. I do not think she should go to prision over this. I mean it was an accident. Or was it?:confused:
