Q&A: I was told I broke the Internet? Is that possible?

Q&A

Question:
I was told I broke the Internet? Is that possible?

Answer:
No. The Internet is made up of a huge number of connected networks of computers and servers. The Internet has been designed to be redundant to allow communications to go through in the event of an emergency. It is still possible for outages to occur in some areas that aren't as redundantly wired due to power outages, or the occasional cable being cut. But it's highly unlikely that you did it.
