The web in 20 years time? - [Closes 18/09/07]

a virus that could crash the whole internet? Impossible, there are hundreds of different OS's that are used within the internet, it would have to be

virii (multiple virus's)

Dude.. 20 years time.. Anything can happen, so that means that could happen

Anything could be possible in 20 years time.

I doubt that in 20 years time every hosting company in existance will use exactly the same operating system, a virus cannot have such malicious effects on every operating system, so i doubt in even 20 years time it will happen :p

Say half the hackers in the world joined together and targeted the internet.
Maybe thats why no one has crashed the internet yet, as that would mean they wouldn't be able to go on the internet again.

I think that in 20 years time loads and loads of stupid fool hackers will join and the internet will be crashed for 2 years.

Crackers can do much more possible things than most people think.

You can't "crash" the Internet, LMAO.

"Someone will create a virus which will crash the whole internet, and as no one in the world controls the internet anymore, it will take years to fix."

- Lol...just lol.

Ok then.
I will edit what I said.

Loads of people will try and DOS all internet service providers in their region, causing the well not causing the actual internet to crash but causing the internet in everyones area to be down til they fix it.

Your theory is stupid. As only say 40% of the Internet Population are "hackers", so if they are stopping ISP's from providing a service they will lose THEIR internet.

It'll be called the powerNET

I don't think it will be here because we can't have wind-powered servers in Texas now can we.

I think it'll just be faster, more in-depth.

Oh yeah, so the internet is going to provide you with the food and water you need to survive, and the exercise to stop you getting morbidly obese, and the facilities for you to urinate etc. Unlikely.

Well he could shop online for the food and water, but urinating, I see your point
