ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

Most unfortunately only partly. When I saw our identities had been swapped, I deleted my post. I started from the top down, meaning Copters' post first. When I saw it was futile, I decided to delete all of it. You retrieved it, which is a miracle for a layman like myself. Well done!

Copters will have to rewrite his post. Unless you're able to retrieve his post as well. But you seem to be a magician.

Talking about magicians. There's a congress about the future of the internet soon in the Low Countries. One of the participants put it on the public agenda today by declaring the internet is severely treatened by those with less noble intentions. He said public authorities, countries and private companies are not prepared at all and concluded it's more than likely the internet will be closed completely some time soon. Many organisations and countries have had a taste when they were hacked and shut down in the last two years in particular.

As the world is more or less governed by the computer, chances are the modern world could collapse completely as a result. I got a taste of what he meant when a power plant collapsed a few weeks ago nearby. More than million people had no electricity for over two hours. Today, this would have disastrous consequences. No electricity = no time = no internet = no phone = no metro = no train = no television = no radio = no phone = no communication = no shops open = no food = the world in the sixties. Without food, of course. I don't mind, but neither do criminals. No phone = no police = your best chance.

Is it possible to prepare for situations described above?  Reply
