Några länkar som en liten pendang till ett intressant inlägg på Blind Höna om strömavbrott, tekniska systems tillförlitlighet osv:
At the core of the major blackouts is the lethal combination of Nature and the human preoccupation with economic ”efficiency” /…/ All this is a precursor to a massive on-line blackout which will see the Internet handicapped by a privatisation process which had handed over a public commodity to large business interests who are foremost concerned with securing a profit rather than dealing with technical questions and details such as scaling the infrastructure to meet increase demand in terms of users and bandwidth. /…/ When all this is combined with the fact that western society has prematurely put most of its vital functions in terms of commerce, bureaucracy, and even access to basic information on weak and dilapidated energy and communications network infrastructures, it’s a recipe for disaster.
