The whole thing is running in Al Gore's closet, man. Just pop in there and switch it off.

In all seriousness, though, that's a great question to ask, because the answer to the question of how we would still be able to transact would largely depend on how shutting down the internet was achieved, and who/what was behind it.

this is the type of thing we should be talking about more maybe. Maybe more of us should understand national/global networking on a fundamental level.

Example, Egypt 2011, half of Pakistan today and so on!

I was hoping to be taking logistically. Maybe I haven't read enough about this, but I doubt people pulled lines/sattelite dishes from every house in Egypt?
