Just how important is the Internet…well, without it your bank ATM won’t work, nor will most cash registers of major chain stores or many gas stations…the stock market wouldn’t open nor would the commodity markets, the electric grid could be effected so might water works, etc, etc. And we don’t really know what total effect it would have on the new highly electronic and Internet connected dependent automobiles or navigation systems.  You get the point.   What we have here is the tell tale of how the next world war might be fought.  Not a pretty picture.
