  The main issues with the 'net are what also make it useful - it is an amalgamation of the lowest common denominator tech that is agreeable to all parties. The entire TCPIP suite was an antique in the 90's, but its there so let's patch it up instead of really fix it. And that's just the beginning of whats going to keep being wrong until someone burns all that crap down. America needs a less vulnerable infrastructure, but how is that any different than the power grid, or the aging bridges and hiways? We may have been first at this, but later arrivals will continue to leapfrog us into extinction on nearly every front unless we are willing to be as revolutionary as it takes. Unprovoked, the US has little willpower to accomplish anything. Once provoked few countries can keep up.
