What if someday the whole internet network will crash and will stay like this for a while? What would you do? Would you stay day by day, hour by hour in front of the monitor to see if the internet "comes alive"? Or would you go outside and try to live your live?

If intranet crash that I think it is going to cause a really big problem. The business worldwide will face a major problem and also it will cause huge losses to many countries. In today's world lot of business is total depending on the communication through Internet and if that is broken then life can be very miserable. This is only the business part which will get affected apart from that the overall communication will face a very big setback which may cause major damage to many people and also cause a lot of accidents. Then I think the banking will suffer huge loss. And nowadays even the sharemarket is totally dependent on the Internet facility . So all in all if intranet crashes for even one day it will be a huge loss to the world.

well, the first thing is ,either we woiuld have alot of days off at work, or work would be very hard. We depend on the internet to bring up information we need. Man, thatr would be interesting how this whole world would react if that happened. Just goes to show how dependent on computors we have become.

related to that, could you say how would the world advance? I mean would we become even more dependent to the internet? Are we going to find a better way, to surf the internet in less time?

It's quite imposible for the internet to crash. The internet doesn't exists in one place so it's hard to cause it a massive error.

ICANN can block any site.Even ICANN is able to block all sites of a country. Any website domain name is baught from any hosting service.But all domain names are regulated by ICANN. And if entire internet system crash,it'll be big prob.We'll loose access to the entire world as quickly we would be able to do with the help of internet within a second.So without help of internet what we'll do?All works of daily life will go on but will be manual and enough timetaking.Life will be slower than faster without if internet crashes. And if suddenly my internet connection gets down,well I'll sleep or read books.
