It’s great because the internet was initially developed as a decentralized service so that if any part failed, the rest could maintain communications.

And no communication ability was lost. Just the service to which those communications were directed.

I mean, if it’s a missile, it makes sense it won’t accept launch orders if the service intended to give those is dead. Except for some dead hand ideas.

It’s a redundant system for hierarchical applications.

Dunno, I’m autistic, I love feeling less special. That usually involves meeting right kind of people.
