Is the internet in danger of crashing all together, will we have to have it rationed, is it running out of resourses?

How will/would society cope if two systems went down together, let alone all 3 big systems, it seems incredible that there are only 3 main systems world wide, I know there are some smaller ones, but shouldn't we have some sort of national back up plan. I know people who go into a blind panic when they have no signal, how will they cope if theres no internet, they can't order a takeaway, can't go shopping, can't do banking? Will dinosaurs like me who remember how to do things with pen and paper suddenly be in demand?

  • It only really effects companies who have outsources parts of the IT Infrastructure, so most of the internet is OK.

    Some companies are considering bringing such IT infrastructure back in-house, but it would be very expensive for a large company.

    The actual internet is a distributed system so if part of it fails, the rest of it should just carry on regardless.
