    i thinks that it is impossible, because, many of webmasters and internet marketers will become unemployed :)

    I doubt that the whole internet will go down. It's not centralized, so it's pretty much impossible to deliver it a "knockout blow". However, I suppose it is possible that vast swathes of it could be made to stop working. If that were to happen there would be millions having nervous breakdowns, or getting major withdrawal symptoms at the very least.

    Huge numbers of people are completely addicted to Facebook, for instance. An example of the extent to which people depend on it is the case of two girls who were trapped in a stormwater drain in Adelaide and posted an update to Facebook via their cell phones, rather than dial 000!

    just like he said it's not possible unless we nuke the whole earth and then we would all be dead anyway.
