The Internet is one of the greatest human achievements to date, it is designed to be powerful, perfect as possible in order to meet the growing needs of people in the era of technology.
But there is a truth that, like any technological achievements in the past, the Internet will also be on the decline and was replaced. Here is the opinion of the expert and is also one of the bestselling author won the title of the journal NYT, David Eagleman. By Eagleman, DNSChanger 2 event on Sunday has been hyped, though past but actually, 4 risk after potentially demolish global computer networks.
Space weather
Solar radiation is one of the causes of damage to communications systems on the ground. It is estimated that in recent years, there are at least 4 satellites have been disabled due to the effects of radiation and solar storms. Not only satellite, a solar storm occurs when it will cause geomagnetic storms on the ground, explode the transformers and destroying the computer system. In 1989, a powerful electromagnetic storms occur causing the entire Quebec lost power and stock system in Toronto deadlock in 3 hours.
A massive solar storm, on the theory that can damage the whole system the Internet on-the-ground thing that even earthquakes, bombing or terrorism can not be caused. This really is a major concern to all of us by as calculated by the scientists, large solar storm occurs according to the 11-year cycle, and summer next year will have a such.
Network war
Most of the wars in the future absence of soldiers and weapons, instead the computer attacks on Internet vulnerabilities of the opponent. In the current world, wars and war physics seem parallel closely together, this was the result was withdrawn when the sociologist made researching the conflict between India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, ... Tools of war network is virus. The virus installed on your opponent's server system and perform work that is not a perfect comparison by it's okay to steal confidential information, sabotage the computer systems, ...
In 2010, the world has witnessed a kind of virus spyware so deep, Stuxnet. The worm has infiltrated the industrial system of Iran, multiply slowly and silently sabotage operations of the mills in the country. Currently, the virus is not only aimed at military or economic but also attacked both the user's personal information. There is a sadly virus and its kind of been doing worse and/or network security status and wants them "extinct", there is only a single path can resist is terminated using the Internet.
The control of the Government
A lot of governments like Iran, Egypt, China, previously or intend to shut down the Internet throughout the territory to restore filter for social sites like Youtube, Twitter, ... in order to gain absolute control of information on the Internet. In 2010, the United States has even established a Committee on the protection of cyberspace-national property named PCNAA with the task of closing emergency private network areas and Government in order to avoid attacks from the network. However, the recent PCNAA have been removed by a lot of research indicating that the emergency closure of an Internet which also caused more damage than when it was attacked. Internet status depends on the control of politics by losing this "open" nature of it.
The destructive system of fiber-optic
Although there are quite a lot of satellites being used but 99% of the Internet is still dependent on undersea fiber optic systems, acting as the central nervous system of the global network. For terrorists and criminals, this is a weakness that we can even network exploitation. One of the cut cable blur renders the main and most famous in the world is supposed to cut the cable of 23 African countries on 30/1/2008, interrupt the connection of all 23 countries, from India to Egypt with the situation escalated violence and political instability in the worldthe destructive fiber is one of the effective tools for fighting powers together.
Setting thought to solve this problem, the need to build a bank back up the knowledge about the Internet: how to create computers, routers, fiber optic, reestablished the Internet ... The Internet is indispensable in today's modern world, is the backbone of socio-economic development in the future, so we need to protect it.
