Don't break out your shotgun, gas mask, and emergency rations, but
make sure you know where they are: it looks like an enormous chunk of
the Internet in North America is dead.
According to the Internet Traffic Report,
which "monitors the flow of data around the world," we're in the midst
of some kind of web apocalypse, with major network hubs across the
continent completely dead—33% of all packets, the little bites of data
that comprise all action on the Internet, are getting lost in
transmission. This is also, perhaps not coincidentally, the same day
Tumblr, Google, and Dropbox have all either gone down or reported
outages, as The Next Web points out.
