Content: According to the Pew Research Centre, a fifth of all Americans say they use the internet “almost constantly”and 73% say they use it at least daily. Figures in the UK are similar: a 2016 survey found that nearly 90% of adults said they had used the internet in the previous three months. For many, it is now virtually impossible to imagine life without the internet. “One of the biggest problems with the internet today is that people take it for granted – yet they don’t understand the degree to which we’ve allowed it to infiltrate almost every aspect of our lives,” says William Duttonat Michigan State University, who is the author of the book Society and the Internet. “ They don’t even think about not having access to it.” I don’t know what students today would do if I asked them to stay off the internet – they’d probably report me to the university president – Jeff Hancock
But the internet is not inviolable. In theory, it could be taken away, on a global or national scale, for a stretch of time. Cyberattacks are one possibility. Malicious hackers could bring the internet to a standstill by releasing software that aggressively targeted vulnerabilities in routers – the devices that forward internet traffic.
