Google Down because of ISP

According to the Associate Press, a story on Forbes web site, Google faced an outage, or rather down time Tuesday. It seems that the Google technicians had to help the ISP with troubleshooting. It hasn't been revealed yet exactly what the problem was.

It just goes to illustrate that no matter how big a company is, it can be strangled by a glitch. Even though I do a lot of research on the web and use, almost exclusively, Google to do my searching, I was not affected by the outage. Why is this even blog worthy?

Well, AOL went down in June and Amazon went down in August. Who's next? It says a lot about one thing. Our computers and our internet play a huge role in our daily lives. I rarely sit down to listen to the news anymore. I get my news in my inbox from Google. I use it in my daily activities. It is a bit scary that I have come to depend on it so much for my living. Egads, what would happen if the thing went down completely?

The www is the largest WAN in the world. I am delighted we have the technology.
