"We Need a Plan B for the Internet," Warns Danny Hillis at TED - Liz Gannes - News - AllThingsD

"“The Internet is actually an emergent system. We don’t fully understand it, like the weather and like the economy,” said Hillis, the founder of Thinking Machines and Applied Minds, whose work on the Google-acquired Metaweb helped start the company’s “Knowledge Graph.”
“It’s changing so quickly that even the experts have no idea what’s going on. It’s different now than it was an hour ago,” Hillis said at TED.
“We don’t know the consequences of what an effective denial-of-service attack on the Internet would be. So what we need is a plan B.”"
