How fragile is the internet? Could it ever dissappear?
In: Technology
It’s not fragile from a network perspective. It’s actually super robust.
It’s fragile from a consolidation and regulation stand point.
The more consolidation the less robust and more single points of failure.
For Web, the biggest danger is consolidation and walled gardens as data then becomes available on a pay to play basis.
Cloudflare, crowdstrike, and akami represent real dangers….when these go down do to their enormous reach, huge swaths of the web goes dark.
On the hosting side the danger is AWS, Google, and Microsoft
