Swaths of internet down after outage at cloud company - New York Times, CNN, Twitch, Reddit, and the U.K. government’s home page

Just a burp in the system? How vulnerable IS the internet? Nothing is perfect, I know. But, what if there is a financial meltdown and our screens go BLANK! :oops:

How vulnerable? VERY. When almost everything done today is done online, you're just begging for nefarious people to go to work on it.
I've said before, what if one day you go to check on one's crypto money and all you get is a blank screen? Poof... it's gone. Same holds true for online banking. Poof... more disappearing acts. Works well for now, but, I always like to keep some cash under the mattress... just in case. (although I'm not sure what good that'll do if nothing works). :(
 

Is it the apocalypse?! The cicadas are coming out, and we all know too well about the pandemic. What’s next, a plague of frogs, or the walking dead?
God has tells us what's going on but many are not listening to him. He also tells us how to prepare so we can miss the worst of it.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. 36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.…

Matthew 24:36
That's correct. I did not mean to suggest that the time is now...not in any way, shape, or form...if you're referring to my post. No one knows when, nor will know until it happens. But we have been given signs that it is coming eventually, and there will be more signs to watch for. It's not over till it's over.

It is that there have been so many popular announcements about the end times that goes way back, under very different circumstances, I thought I should add this to the context. I was kinda joking about this being the beginning of the end. But, there are plenty of things that are going south fast these days, ( including us old folk :))
 
Okay, now here's something NOT in the Bible regarding advanced technology (do I hear cheering in the rafters lol)
...except one teensy reference saying "many shall run to and fro and knowledge will increase" in the old testament book of Daniel

Many people over the years have proposed that there would be an increase in technology as the end times approach. Among those espousing this view were renowned scientists Isaac Newton and Francis Bacon. On the frontispiece of Bacon’s Instauratio Magna, ships of learning were depicted passing by the limits of human knowledge, with a quote in Latin from Daniel 12:4. In more recent times, this belief has been supported in books like Future Shock by Alvin Toffler and The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin.

In Future Shock, first published in 1970, Toffler described the results of the rapid advancement of technology he had observed in the 1950s and 1960s. As technology brought ever faster changes in society, certain people were left on the sidelines, unable to cope with the speed of change. That stress and disorientation in people was dubbed “future shock.” Toffler did not attempt to use the Bible in his work, but the concept of future shock was alluded to in works like Hal Lindsey’s Late Great Planet Earth, which was also published in 1970. Mr. Lindsey has made frequent mention of Daniel 12:4 as a prophecy of this rapid technological advance.

The Bible Code was based on the work of Eliahu Rips and others, who proposed that the history of all mankind was encoded in the text of the Torah and could be found by the process of “equidistant letter sequencing” or ELS. This concept was first proposed by Rabbi Bachya ben Asher in the 13th century, a man who is recognized as introducing the use of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) into the study of the Torah. According to this theory, the Hebrew word for “computer” is encoded in Daniel 12:4, thus giving apparent confirmation that technology would indeed have exponential advances with the advent of computers.
