And if everyone took a shower at the same time?

This is just scare mongering.

Also, the famous slogan was "The network is the computer", not "The internet is the computer". That was Sun Microsystem's tagline or slogan. Given that "The Internet" really isn't a single technology (except maybe with respect to TCP/IP, but even that's changing as IPv6 makes its way in) or even a single network, why are we fear mongering about this right now? Between Anonymous turning off The Internet, and China's Water Army disrupting USA in-flight refueling ops, one has to wonder if a coordinated PR campaign isn't taking place.

While I agree with your points, I do think it might be worthwhile to try and determine how dependent we've become on the Internet.
