This is cool.  Apparently at any given point up to ten percent of the internet is unreachable from other points of the internet.

I think what is most fascinating about this story is that there are people researching the internet.  I had never even thought about the backbone of this thing I use rather frequently.  I think for many people the internet is a mystical tool that allows us to see through our screen into this alternate universe of information.  A tool that also allows us to look into other people’s lives, and to communicate with those we watch.  A tool that appears to be much more faulty than I had ever imagined.
