Remember the 60's through the 80's? We communicated, spread the word and woke people up just like now, albeit at a little slower pace. Newsletters, magazines, snail mail, dial up BBS,
radio etc still work.
Plus modern tech gives Joe average the ability to set up secure local networks with FHSS radios and neighborhood wifi.
Tons of possibilities out there. We have to stop taking the easy way out and fight smarter not harder.
There was a laptop for every child program and the goal was a less than $100 laptops to be donated to every child, even in underdeveloped countries. They are wireless and a node in which each computer is both a client and a server and they could create their own type of internet, I think the term is mesh net. The idea was for the kids to be able to chat and play games with each other. An alternative internet using this type of tech is highly feasable. In fact it could be a way to keep in touch if they cut all the fibre optic lines or turned off all the trunks.
