Debunked um... I think what you are talking about is no electricity because without internet we won’t have any usage for phones and thing but it feels like your talking about not having electricity because some of what your talking about is mainly electric based of not internet
Unfortunately, the websites use dns lookups for most things on the backend and probably wouldnt work either. Blockchain based DNS meshnet would solve it though.
Good idea, doesn't work. You can run CMD on Windows and use the "ping xxx" command, where xxx i an internet adress such as www.google.com. Now it tries to ping the website and shows you the ip adress it got from the dns server. Now you can try to enter that adress into your browser directly. On google it usually works but on more complex sites, that rely heavy on personalized content and are heavily scripted (e.g. ebay) it doesnt work at all or just redirects you to the "mother" site (eg. the ip for youtube gets you to the google homepage). (If you want to try it for yourself and it only shows an IPv6 adress you can run the command with "-4" at the end ("ping www.google.de -4) to get the IPv4 adress.)
It's incredibly disappointing to think we'd go to ruin if the internet died, millennia without it, we've had it for less than a century and are now glued to it
I mean it cant really die unless nobody wants to bring it back up... we still have the knowledge of how to do maintenance and how to rebuild this stuff, so it really isn't as bad as you would think... we would maybe have to wait a few months until the internet is completely back and a few years to repair the lasting damage.
Coronavirus: I can incite fear that drives people to panic buy at the grocery store under the spectre of economic collapse. Global Internet outage: Hold my beer...
Can u blame us.... It's probably the only thing humans created that's completely INVISIBLE and probably faster than the speed of light. I bet the internet impresses God more than anything else man made.
Hephaestus chaos at first but over 50 years or maybe more it would make the world a better place. And even if it is shut down we can always build a new system
I grew up before the internet. What really worries me is how ubiquitous it has become. I can hardly do anything these days, from my job, to personal banking and dealing with officialdom without being able to log on. Even booking theatre tickets. I've just had three months or so without access at home and it was hell.

So does this mean that the only way to prevent the internet from dying is to have a lot more companies to run the internet instead of a small amount of companies?!🤨🤔🧐😳
I work for a major telecomm company. The software used to connect huge data pipes to one another to make parts of the internet work is ANCIENT, it has fields in kbps lol. This also means, in theory, I COULD take out large chunks of the internet in the United States, but all of it? I'd very like have my ID revoked before that happened lol... and I'm probably overestimating on what I could actually get disconnected; there's probably failsafes in place if a bunch of disconnect orders suddenly start getting pushed out by a rogue employee XD.
The technology we have today is impressive. But no matter how advanced it gets, we're already far too dependent on it, we literally couldn't survive without it. Sometimes I wonder if this is history repeating itself, if becoming too dependent on our technology has happened before. We don't know because another thing that happens over and over, we keep destroying our past, either like what happened to the library of Alexandria or because of other situations where the past is purposely destroyed or rewritten.
@@theprodigy9617 not 100% of us. Maybe WE can. But it also depends on what the details are... I mean if we can hunt our own food and live off grid ok. But like no electricity. Or if the internet went down entirely, it would have harsher consequences than just a bunch of millenials suddenly not sure what to do with their hands. Everything is connected to the internet now. So I guess if you're not in a major city. And you don't spend all your time learning to take selfies and vlog about fast food restaurants. I know a few things, idetentify wild edible plants, how to make soap with wood ash, gunpowder and a bunch of other things. And it would still be hard to get used to for me.
People have survived without the internet for thousands of years, there's no reason they wouldn't survive now. Yes for the 1st few years it would be a pain, but cell phones would still work after the internet is gone, so retailers could still order but, it would be by phone. Of course the newer generation would most likely just drop dead because they've never lived without the internet.
Back then the internet world wasn't internet based, now... It is, Lemme ask you this, if you have money are you with every single penny as we speak... It's probably in your bank No matter how rich you are, if the internet goes off and 97% OF your wealth is in the bank, your broke💀💀💀... Chaos strikes,
Shutting down anything will ALWAYS hurt those who are the lower end of the hierarchy. Including almost any regulation done to anything, e.g. taxation, criminalization of anything, tariffs, etc.
A Carrington Event level CME (Coronal Mass Ejection)could potentially take out the entire internet, though at that point the internet would only one of a long list services to go down and would take a long time to get things back up and running to pre-event levels.
Who else is here due to the news that our internet will probably be knocked out for weeks or permanently, due to a massive solar storm that's already hurdling towards earth and will hit by Monday?
Does your company spend a lot of time teaching you how to operate dinosaur systems from 30 years ago? Because if the internet fails, everyone's going to have to be able to do that to keep even basic features of civilization running.
Catato Blob, some stores actually do make sure that at least some of their employees know how to use a credit-card copier like in the old days, but most places just close until their systems are back up. About 10 years ago, I was in a library during a black-out and they switched to signing out books with paper forms, but a couple of years ago when it happened again, they just stopped signing stuff out. Analog is dying. :-\ 🤷
Just something not considered by the video: internet relies not only on the underwater cables, but also underground. There are a lot of cables underground connecting countries, specially, but not limited to, US-Canada, as well as Europe. Also, the DNS is not a single server, but rather a hierarchical and distributed system, so it's pretty strong, even if some root servers go down.
I don't know what would hapen .I will bring my opinion about this and it possible consecuences: We Still Use Many Technologies from the past ,it is know that many technologies which were more popular last century still in use,one example is magnetic tapes which have experienced a huge developement since its peak in the 50s .Why Still Use Magnetic Tapes , indeed, much of the world’s data is still kept on tape, including data for basic science, such as particle physics and radio astronomy, human heritage and national archives, major motion pictures, banking, insurance, oil exploration, and more.One example is how the black hole picture transported by plane in tapes.

I would try to establish a good old fashioned BBS network locally, with connections to other similar networks through good old FIDONet. I grew up in the final decades before the Internet as we know it existed and could easily revert back to those earlier and more primitive times.
Scary to be so dependent on something 😬....kinda glad I've lived most of my life before the internet existed. But now I'm addicted. But I don't have too much more life left. Can't believe I said that..
Not all countries would collapse without internet. Central African countries such as Chad would manage pretty well. Chad switched off the internet for much of the country for ten full weeks in 2020, and we all survived alright apart from the relatively minor nuisance of having no access to email or social media.
easy answer 1 person wouldn't take down the internet because it would take a group of people to destroy satellites, ground lines, and short to long wave radio transmission, 1 guy couldn't do it all
My biggest concern is the world of banking. Everything is done online! If the internet just went... Well, no access to your money, no money fullstop, all the records of peoples accounts would be gone, Life savings gone!, Cant buy things with card anymore, just whatever cash you happen to have on you or in a safe place. No longer able to get paid or give out wages. With this simple ability to send and recieve money now gone, I could see a very quick descent into anarchy.
Wait til your government goes with digital currency...you'll have the same thing. 'They' will literally dictate what you can buy, when, how much of it, and how often.
Move to central Africa. The government of Chad cut off internet for much of the country for ten full weeks in 2020, and we all survived it alright. It was annoying not being able to connect to email or social media, but otherwise our lives weren’t much disrupted.
Any good system that normally relies on internet access would be designed with layers of built-in redundancy in case of local internet outages, which are very common and thus very necessary to plan for. Then again, I once got stuck on a train for 9 hours straight because snow fell on a computer chip responsible for automatic track switching on a bridge and nobody could figure out an alternate way to get the train onto the correct track...
Don't forget that the hacker could, in theory, just send a command into each major internet device (routers, ISPs, DNS servers, servers, satellites, etc.) to terminate its hardware and share the virus to any connected device before destroying its hardware (Since almost every device is connected somehow, so it would spread quickly), right?
Humans with no internet for tens of thousands of years: We're fine. Modern Humans without internet for a weekend: End of the world. We really are pathetic now.
I mean, you can say the same thing about electricity. We survived tens of thousands of years without it, but have been heavily dependent on it since the beginning of the 20th century.
@@johngilliam6764 This has got me wondering on how quickly the old local BBSes would arise again, perhaps causing old computer tech, like modems, and Pentium and earlier class computers...
Upside, we will be touch with each other and hang up more with people. Downside, After i come home late and tired, Wtf i will do with my remaining time
Yes, we'll certainly be in touch with each other as people bash each other's faces in for that packet of bread. You'll probably spend most of your time looking for clean water as the water treatment and distribution services grind to a halt. But hey, at least you'll be playing outside again. :D
Or you can write all the ip addressees of the websites you use in a paper and you dont need a dns server. Also I think your computer already memorizes the ip address if you use the site a lot, so no dns needed there either.
The dumbing down of society would begin to reverse. People would go outside and start talking to each other again and with a bit more respect because disrespectful tough talk in the real world could get you stretched out, we'd stop making celebrities out of the mediocre and social media "influencers" would lose their artificial influence and go back to being real people again. People may even begin to think for themselves again. All in all it may make the world a better place so it actually seems like the internet gone could be a good thing. The internet was supposed to improve human relations and intelligence but instead its bringing out the worst in people.
You’re wrong, there’s two sides to that coin and you’re wrong because you’re only acknowledging one side while pretending the other is nonexistent. The internet has also brought us lots of good, value, convenience, etc.
@@X11CHASE Am I wrong?? If as you yourself said I'm only acknowledging one side then by your own admission I am right about 1 side of the coin. I never said the other side was non-existent nor did I pretend the internet didn't bring convenience and value but the question was, "what if the internet was destroyed" not what are the two sides of the internet coin.
@Neil Carpenter Guns N Glory He wins, not the other knot head. This wasn't about two side of the internet going down, only about the internet going down. So you loose, the other guy looses and the younger generation just drops dead because they've never lived without internet.
Are you dumb? Of course they survived bc they didn’t ADAPT THEIR ENTIRE SOCIETY to live with the internet??? Like hospitals weren’t always around but I’m pretty sure we’d be worse off without them
Cool when you have a working design for a teleporter that can get messages to the other side of the world via some kind of magic that doesn't need infrastructure in between you can present your solution to that.

@@DebunkedOfficial Then take many smaaler nuc's and place them perfectly. I althoe do not know if it is possible to stop the outcome of radioactive-radiation and the size of the explosion while having the neccecery EMP to take down the Internet with one till tree nuc's. We have enough nuc's for that but I do not think we have enough to vaporize the erth. At least that is what I understood.
@@marcpabel4768 actually I don't believe it would completely cripple the internet. It would cause widespread chaos, no doubt, but cables that are many meters under water are shielded from radiation. Especially if a nuke was detonated above earth, a large portion of the radiation would be spread out and unlikely to even reach those cables underwater. The earth being "vaporized" is kind of irrelevant as, of course, nothing can possibly survive that.

The lesson: start writing down the ip addresses of your favorite websites to survive a netpocalypse
Actually just getting a custom router or something that remembers the addresses for an extended amount of time might just be enough ^^
Unfortunately, the websites use dns lookups for most things on the backend and probably wouldnt work either. Blockchain based DNS meshnet would solve it though.
There would be IP dealers, who sell the IP addresses of the main websites.
Angry kids on Xbox live would be pros in that
Good idea, doesn't work. You can run CMD on Windows and use the "ping xxx" command, where xxx i an internet adress such as www.google.com.

Move to central Africa. The government of Chad cut off internet for much of the country for ten full weeks in 2020, and we all survived it alright. It was annoying not being able to connect to email or social media, but otherwise our lives weren’t much disrupted.
@@annabethwivell327 i didnt even know africa had internet to begin with until recently
@@nexor7809Kenya has better internet than Australia lmao
Any good system that normally relies on internet access would be designed with layers of built-in redundancy in case of local internet outages, which are very common and thus very necessary to plan for. Then again, I once got stuck on a train for 9 hours straight because snow fell on a computer chip responsible for automatic track switching on a bridge and nobody could figure out an alternate way to get the train onto the correct track...
14:56 I used the internet to destroy the internet
Can you do a discussion about whether a one cunning person is enough to takeover the Government and Internet?
No
@@Gibblegobblegoob base on my research yes. Indeed one man can take down the internet, governemnt, and even the military.
Very informative channel and interesting too
Thanks for watching!
your videos are wonderful. i love the qualtiy
Thanks very much! Glad you like them!
What If There Was No Internet?
There'd be no need to use Dashlane
The only one that can destroy the Internet is ralph living proof watch ralph breaks the Internet 🤣🤣🤣🤣
NOCVidz You must be fun at parties.
Or they're just an adult, which the OP is clearly not. (COPPA wants to know your location.)
I wish it would
Uhm was that Robin ?
Well spotted! Robin voices the quotes for nearly all our videos. Thanks for watching
What about a solar flare or EMPs taking out the internet??
Lmao. The world wouldn't end without internet
time to test it out I guess
Minecraft?
I was online in 1992. I was so happy to get Mosaic in 1993. Friends of mine in college we're on line in 1989.
Don't forget that the hacker could, in theory, just send a command into each major internet device (routers, ISPs, DNS servers, servers, satellites, etc.) to terminate its hardware and share the virus to any connected device before destroying its hardware (Since almost every device is connected somehow, so it would spread quickly), right?

Yea, having internet or not, did not make a difference there, mate
We managed to do that just fine with the internet still functioning
Another reason why monopolies, mass acquisitions and mergers are extremely destructive.
Humans with no internet for tens of thousands of years: We're fine.
Modern Humans without internet for a weekend: End of the world.
We really are pathetic now.
I mean, you can say the same thing about electricity. We survived tens of thousands of years without it, but have been heavily dependent on it since the beginning of the 20th century.
Yeah but we don't need the internet
@@johngilliam6764 This has got me wondering on how quickly the old local BBSes would arise again, perhaps causing old computer tech, like modems, and Pentium and earlier class computers...
Do the lies of Trotsky next
Egypt has a history of internet closing I see
Well... if it would get snipped out of existence... we should call you know who to send you know who to you know where
Cryptic 🤔
@@DebunkedOfficial look at my profile picture and think again :3
What.
@@HritwRaje what¿
@@zrkiboi2083 my question to your comment, precisely.
Upside, we will be touch with each other and hang up more with people.
Downside, After i come home late and tired, Wtf i will do with my remaining time
Yes, we'll certainly be in touch with each other as people bash each other's faces in for that packet of bread. You'll probably spend most of your time looking for clean water as the water treatment and distribution services grind to a halt. But hey, at least you'll be playing outside again. :D
Or you can write all the ip addressees of the websites you use in a paper and you dont need a dns server. Also I think your computer already memorizes the ip address if you use the site a lot, so no dns needed there either.
The dumbing down of society would begin to reverse. People would go outside and start talking to each other again and with a bit more respect because disrespectful tough talk in the real world could get you stretched out, we'd stop making celebrities out of the mediocre and social media "influencers" would lose their artificial influence and go back to being real people again. People may even begin to think for themselves again. All in all it may make the world a better place so it actually seems like the internet gone could be a good thing. The internet was supposed to improve human relations and intelligence but instead its bringing out the worst in people.
You’re wrong, there’s two sides to that coin and you’re wrong because you’re only acknowledging one side while pretending the other is nonexistent. The internet has also brought us lots of good, value, convenience, etc.
@@X11CHASE Am I wrong?? If as you yourself said I'm only acknowledging one side then by your own admission I am right about 1 side of the coin. I never said the other side was non-existent nor did I pretend the internet didn't bring convenience and value but the question was, "what if the internet was destroyed" not what are the two sides of the internet coin.
@@X11CHASE Don't know about the good or value but the internet is convenient.
@Neil Carpenter Guns N Glory He wins, not the other knot head. This wasn't about two side of the internet going down, only about the internet going down. So you loose, the other guy looses and the younger generation just drops dead because they've never lived without internet.
(Debunked) : The world would have been destroyed without internet.
(Previous generations) : Are we joke to you???
Are you dumb? Of course they survived bc they didn’t ADAPT THEIR ENTIRE SOCIETY to live with the internet??? Like hospitals weren’t always around but I’m pretty sure we’d be worse off without them
Maybe these structures should have a back up system, a non internet based backup.
Cool when you have a working design for a teleporter that can get messages to the other side of the world via some kind of magic that doesn't need infrastructure in between you can present your solution to that.
Does this effect apps? Cuz if it doesn’t, it’s pretty much doesn’t effect much
Duh
Double thanos snap the internet
We can live without the internet, but they can build new technology that we will have in the future.
I thought that a large solar coronal mass ejection like the Carrington event in 1859 would fry every circuit board on the planet?
An EMP comming from the nuclear Explosion of a massive bomb and the attack of aal telecomunicationbases couled do as well. Esspeccially in combination with massive smoke bombs to cut off the sattelites.
True, but if the EMP was that big then so would the nuke and the internet would be the least of our concern. Thanks for watching!
@@DebunkedOfficial Then take many smaaler nuc's and place them perfectly. I althoe do not know if it is possible to stop the outcome of radioactive-radiation and the size of the explosion while having the neccecery EMP to take down the Internet with one till tree nuc's. We have enough nuc's for that but I do not think we have enough to vaporize the erth. At least that is what I understood.
@@DebunkedOfficial Ofcourse it might work as well if a verry verry verry powerfull nuce explodes in space up clothe to erth.
@@marcpabel4768 actually I don't believe it would completely cripple the internet. It would cause widespread chaos, no doubt, but cables that are many meters under water are shielded from radiation. Especially if a nuke was detonated above earth, a large portion of the radiation would be spread out and unlikely to even reach those cables underwater. The earth being "vaporized" is kind of irrelevant as, of course, nothing can possibly survive that.
To take down the internet, you'd need one chad of a botnet.
