So, if the tubes collapse, and take celphones with them, how fast can we revert back to landline, letters, and Indian runners? And when the mandatory digital switchover happens with television, and this scenario occurs, how do we disseminate information?

srsly. I'm askeard.

Once those failures sensitized a conspiracy-happy net, it was natural that other cable failures would be found to feed the frenzy, because they occur all the time.

"Cable cuts happen on average once every three days," Beckert said. There are 25 large ships that do nothing but fix cable cuts and bends, Beckert adds.

I shouldn't, just to make you look bad. But since the typo is mine, I shall fix it.
