Disruption
Darn,the earthquake in Taiwan cause a massive disruption of the internet throught out the entire asia including South East Asia.Singapore is also affected by the disruption.Some of the website I could not visit are mostly from the US like Newgrounds and Youtube.It's a good thing I could access my blog.For all i know,I may not even get a chance to post today's topic.The reason why the internet is down through out the entire asia is because of the earthquke which occured underneath the seas near Taiwan.And near Taiwan are the internet cables from which Singapore and all the other countries are connected.These cables are the inme around ternet cable.Man,I'm currently having some major bandwidth problem.It took five minutes to load up just one website article from Wikipedia when usually the page would take merely a few seconds to load.I guess those people on the internet have a backup plan.They said they are rerouting the internet connection to somewhere else like Europe or Australia but even that took a lot of time.
I say when the physical medium is damge,the virtual world suffers a major lag.
Internet providers seems helpless to an occurence of the natural disaster.Perhaps after this,they would try to buil a wireless network tower or a land based WAN(Wide Area Network) instead of being under the sea.They should connect the internet somewhere between the point of the far North East Russian to the West side of Alaska in the US all the way into Canada and then the US again.I'm pretty sure the Russians are friendly today then there were before, during the cold war.
Some other alternatives;
Build are spaced base wireless WAN on the moon.
The intenet wires should be build around the equator which I would like to call,the internet belt of Earth.
