I recently had a discussion with my GF (yeah i know, bad idea). She was watching The Walking Dead, and i asked, "Why don't they have internet?"
Did the providers go "Oh we better disconnect everyone not paying" while being eaten alive? Which got me thinking: Where does the internet come from and what is it? I mean, can it be shut down? It's a signal right? So how do providers get that signal and distribute it to households? And if they pay for masses of internet to distribute, what is the source? Assuming internet runs trough servers, is the internet everlasting as long as there is a server up? And if so, in a zombie apocalyps, can we still use internet? I know, deep stuff right? Anyone got the answers?
