Internet: the new way to interconnect people

In just 40 years, our whole civilization has become dependent on the Internet, in more ways than we could count.
So when you hearactivist groups threatening to crash the whole thing, or doomsday preppers warning of a global Internet failure, it's pretty scary.
But could someone actually bring the entire Internet down?
We asked an expert.
Taking down the Internet is a lot easier said than done, according to IT expert Dewayne Hendricks, and the Internet is very much here to stay.
Known as the "Broadband Cowboy," Hendricks has worked with AT&T, Cisco, WorldCom, and Lucent, and is currently CEO of Tetherless Access Inc.
"The first thing you need to know about the Internet," Hendricks tells , "is that there is no such thing as 'the' Internet."
Simple, independent, and distributed The Internet, says Hendricks, is "merely a series of highly distributed packet switchers." Most people get this wrong, he argues. "People tend to think it's this one thing - and it's not - it's important to get this idea across that it's thousands of independently owned and operated networks - networks that are tied together by physical connections that use a common protocol."
It's this very quality that has endowed the Internet with the capacity to not just remain live and active under extreme circumstances, but to repair itself and adapt when necessary.
Taking the Internet down, therefore, is very much like trying to herd cats.
It's essentially a network of networks.
And indeed, there has been some speculation about what it would take to bring down the entire Internet.
Earlier this year, Gizmodo's Sam Biddle made a heroic effort at trying to figure out how to destroy the Internet, suggesting that it could be done (however unlikely) by cutting all the cables that bind the Internet together, ruining the root servers, and destroying all the data centers. Assuming this could be done, all the world's digital data would be left frozen on local machines.
"Nothing can get anywhere, because all the roads, bridges, and traffic lights are in ruin," Biddle writes, "All that's left of the Internet is your office intranet, or the file-swapping in your dorm. The tiny shreds.
There are nets, but none of them are inter."
Unfortunately - or fortunately depending on your persuasion - Biddle is not exactly correct. What he failed to realize is that, where there's people, there's an Internet.

Best as Blue Global Media

Success is the result of a good leadership, good planning and focusing just on the best.
And good leadership has as a result a successful team of employees.
This is important in good times, but even more in hard times.
Blue Global Media, as they say" avoided the dreaded “sophomore slump” by making the 2012 Inc. 500 List of Fastest-Growing Private U.S. Companies.
What does that mean?
It means that in very difficult times they came in at #218 on the list and #31 in the Advertising & Marketing category.
Those two goals achieved thanks to the time spent pursuing the best.
Which includes also the ability to chose between leads that produce results and others that do not.
They also focus on the Affiliate network, helping the partners creating platforms stronger than ever before.
Their strategy was also expanding in other countries like UK and Canada.
If you are looking for a career, if you want to work in a successful team, why not trying the Payday affiliate program?

The economy

"Economy is about what we actually do to stay alive: make things, trade things, grow things, run things. Finance is supposed to be about maintaining the flows of accumulated wealth to support these things we do - with a modest service charge for the financiers who do the work. But in the great divorce of truth from reality in our time, finance is only about pretending to maintain these "capital" flows. In fact, it has degenerated into a set of looting operations, swindles, frauds, and political dodges, and it is on the verge of blowing up."JK

The economy now is about markets.
How markets react, what is the interest rate, who wins who looses.
Economy is the fight between the people who produce and the ones who suck.
The first getting poorer and the second richer.
Exactly like in the Medioeval times.
On one side the poor who worked and on the other the rich who enjoyed life.
And in between the mass of lawyers, judges, polititcians who make laws that look in favor of the poor, but make the rich richer.
When reality is nothing else than a dream, then the dream can be manipulated.
It doesn´t matter what it is, it matters what you believe it is.

Supreme Court Ruling

Today the last nail in the democracy´s coffin was put in Europe.
The road is clear now.
Europe and the dictatorship won.
The moment the ECB and the ESM will own the European debt it will be easy to definitely grab the last shadow of nationality from the sovraign states.
It will be enough to put on the market the bonds or bonos and the state will have two choices: obey or default.
And default won´t be Argentina style, it will be much worse.
So they will obey.
Democracy is finished the moment they do not care anymore for whom people will vote.
Whoever wins doesn´t matter, since he will have no power.
All will be decided in Brussels, what you produce, what you consume, what you earn and the taxes you pay.
The only possible road will be revolution.
But also for that they will be very careful that the majority of the population NEVER arrives to the point of desperation.
They will always prospect the light at the end of the tunnel.
When? Tomorrow.
And while our generation will be waiting fo a better future we will die.
And the next generation won´t even know or care what the better future is, they will be too busy to struggle for the present.

A Ferrari with the 500 fiat engine

Draghi succeded in what Germany mostly feared: to transform the euro into the lira. And Italians are very happy.
It is like building a Ferrari with the 500 fiat engine.
It looks great, it costs much less than a Ferrari and it does what a Ferrari is for: it is a status symbol.
Because most people do not buy a Ferrari to go 300 km. pe hour, it is not even possible.
In italian Freeways you have the limit of 140 and it is unthinkable to drive at 300 km. on a normal road.
So why do you need a Ferrari? To show that you can afford it.
Most italians DO NOT want to go back to the lira.
Mostly because it shows the "old" "unimportant" "weak" country.
While having a currency like the euro, in common with strong states like Germany, is like having a Ferrari: you can show who you are.
So, what is the ultimate goal if you cannot afford a strong currency?
Adopting a strong one and using it like a weak.
A Ferrari with the 500 fiat engine, that is it.
