And people make mistakes, often. I've seen people pushing the wrong buttons. One example: my wife was working on an install in a computer room in SF with a co-worker, major corporation in California. They were routing cables under the floor tiles when her co-worker decided to tug a tight cable. My wife is yelling at him not to do that, because hundreds of important cables are under the floor. Next thing they know, alarms are sounding. The idiot knocked out their networks throughout California and Nevada.
Actually, it is now possible to send email over ham radio. Check out Winlink.
Does that create some kind of infinite recursion loop? Like standing in a room with mirrors opposite one another?
No..the internet is just a networking of computer..the old analogy of a highway of computers is correct but in this case when they turn it off all the highways disappear so you have an uplink to a dead end
