Yesterday, Twitter and Google Talk were off line along with several other lesser sites.
Seems that simple fact alone caused a number of people to panic.

If a sizable number of people are thrown for a loop when an Internet site is down, imagine if the local Starbucks or Dunkies ran out coffee.
This pansy society is ripe for implosion.
I'll just sit back and let the dust settle.
Unplug America! Your parents didn't need to be wired to survive.
Seriously, if there was some kind of real serious event, I fear most would have no clue what to do.
Maybe I should prepare several old Tandy PCs running Eliza to sell time in when the populous needs their chat 'fix'.
I don't know what is scarier, the fact that so many are plugged in 24/7 or that so many have to be.
Yea, part of this is satirical, but I fear it's not far off.
How long can you step away?
