Amit is risking Catatonia

Wait, I am not saying it; that's what an interesting article on CIO.com says about Blackberry users. It's titled "What If the Internet Went Down...and Didn't Come Back Up?".

It's a scary thought. I'm reasonably sure that ten years from now, no such thing as a queue will exist. Everything will be online. We may forget what it feels like to shake hands because all business meetings will happen online. Telecommuting will become a way of life and office romance will be dead for good. Nobody will ever be fired. I'm assuming that the boss will just block him/her in the contact list.

Having said all that, being so dependent on the Internet is horrifying. What if this article turns out to be true? The world, as we know it, will cease to exist. Remember Nostradamus' famous prophecy about the annihilation of the world? That won't be caused by flood, heat or aliens, stupid. A smart ass hacker is going to screw the Internet up.
