In such a case, you wouldn’t be reading this, but I have to admit, I’ve been using the Internet for years and years, and complete outages have been rather rare. Site outages may come here or there, but a complete outage of the Internet? It’s been going for 30 years without such a case–a particular service may be down– and I remember AT&T sometimes being out, but overall, the Internet is designed to be hard to go completely “out of service.”
That being said, I’m ready with lots of VHS tapes and old records (including lots of 78s and wind up machines if there is no electricity). Will I need to use them?
I suspect at some point, but I definitely don’t know when.
