Last Tuesday, 26 December 2006, a powerful earthquake hit Taiwan at 7.1-magnitude. While the casualties is not high, but the aftermath effect is disastrous.
It was reported that the undersea cables, Asia Pacific Cable Network 2, are badly affected by this event. And this leads to another disaster, breakdown in telecommunication and internet. Hmm no wonder on Wednesday, 27th December 2006, the internet connection is damn slow, and on certain ocassion, unable to browse the websites hosted in US.
It's like 1997 where we use dial-up connection for browsing the net. But, during those days, there was no youtube, no bittorrent, no video streaming, mainly for email, chatting and normal surfing. And even the website use less graphic. With the current technology, can we cope with the speed of dial-up connection? Or what will happen if we're unable to access internet, at all?
Can u imagine that?
