Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"?

Because you literally were calling other computers directly. As long as you had dial tone you had internet.

Also, phone books existed for the internet. Google wasn’t a thing, so getting from one website to another was peer distributed by mouth and paper.

It’s incredibly hard to take that offline.
