I had a revelation today, I thought of something that could put a lot of strain on the internet.Every now and then big news happens that really boost hits on various websites - typically the death of a celebrity spark people looking up news sites for confirmation; IMDB to look at acting history; Twitter to chat about the event; Facebook to do the same; blogs and so on.
So what news could possibly trump all this and generate really serious activity on a global scale, across all countries, creeds, religions, ages, sexes...
My suggestion would be the confirmation of life on a world other than Earth.
It would have the most profound effect in religious circles, and obviously atheists alike. I think it it would incur such a boom of communication it would put such a strain everywhere, not just the net.
Thoughts?
