Imagine the internet going dark worldwide for 60 seconds. What would really happen?
Stock exchanges, trading platforms, and banking apps halt instantly. Billions of dollars in transactions get delayed.
No WhatsApp, emails, or video calls. Offices, schools, and families lose touch, even if briefly.
Flights, trains, and ride-hailing apps face glitches. Google Maps and GPS-based services stop working mid-journey.
Hospitals, security agencies, and disaster response teams relying on cloud-based data lose instant access.
UPI, credit cards, and e-wallets go down. Even 1 minute can cause massive checkout disruptions in malls and e-commerce.
Streaming platforms, online gaming, and social media feeds freeze. Digital addicts panic-refresh their screens.
One minute is chaos. Imagine hours or days. The world economy, security, and daily life would be shaken to the core.
