Ye we are leaping into over automation by now. Fragile centralized systems etc. No backup processes.

There is this new movie about it. It is quite good, but I don't remember the name. Where the ship drives up on the beach.

I honestly think there need to be a "no internet" friday and weekend every year. With the whole internet connectivity closed down to test redundancies.

That is interesting. If you can remember the name I'd like to watch it! BTW, I have a "no interet" Sunday (often weekends) where I completely disconnect, every week. It would be great to make it a societal ritual like earth day. Voluntary, but fun.
