I can’t believe what I just saw on CNN.com, per this article it seems that large parts of North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia (mainly India) are suffering to get access to Internet. The apparent reason: A broken submarine cable.
This makes me think about how fragile the Internet is and that we don’t have to rely so much on the Internet to support our lives. Governments need to think in better ways strengthen the fragile communications systems between contienents to avoid issues like this. Can you imagine if someone like terrorists tried to brake all the undersea cables around the world? I’m sure this would create a great problem for most countries. Just imagine the amount of vital systems that would be affected: flight schedules, military systems, police and border controls, you name it.
I hope this incident helps to prevent similar issues in the future.
