Talk about ‘The End of the world‘ It should not necessarily be related to the mass death of human beings. In general, many academics studying the subject have highlighted that the so-called ‘Apocalypse’ could begin in a secondary and irremediable way; alluding more to a radical change in everyday life than to a ‘mortal war.’ Thus, many of the experts who talk about ‘triggers for disaster’ almost always point to today’s inevitable climate crisis, new technologies, and even the Internet.
It is in this sense where the ‘Apocalypse of Internet,’ a phenomenon that although it would not ‘kill’ us as a species, it would put an end to daily life as we know it. In recent days, some viral articles have resumed the date on which this event will take place, and taking into account the chronology of events such as the Carrington Event, the year 2025 could be key to witnessing a global catastrophe related to the Internet.
It is known as the ‘Carrington Event’. first historical record that related to ‘End of the world‘ with the communicative technology of its corresponding time. It all began during the year 1859, when all of Europe and some parts of America witnessed an astronomical event called ‘Solar Flare.’ The problem is that right after this, the collapse of the telegraph systems in these locations was triggered; causing cuts in other supplies, fires, accidents, and mass panic.
Now, more than a century after that strange phenomenon, some academics point to a very near date for another ‘solar flare;’ which would cause global failures of Internet and telecommunications, giving rise to the media ‘Apocalypse of Internet.’ And of course, as might be expected, this raises significant concerns about preparedness to face its possible consequences.
According to the calculations and statistics of the last ‘solar flare,’ the next one would take place in mid-2025, which could replicate its presence in the locations mentioned for the last ‘Carrigton Event.’ In this way, if this phenomenon triggers the ‘Apocalypse of Internet,’ said communication resource could be interrupted for days, weeks or months; damaging everything from economic activities to various government administrations. It is hoped, of course, that technology will already be enough to prevent the world from collapsing in the same way that telegraphs collapsed. However, with the strong dependence on Internet Nowadays, one could speak of a ‘End of the world‘ in the worst case.
