My IT teacher is. We were discussing it.
As too often, teaching becomes an avenue in which to have an engaged (read: naive) audience to lay upon conspiracy theories amongst left-field thinking. Because, you know, academic freedom is a wonderful thing.

Well the internet Threat Con Level has been Green for weeks, maybe even months.
So your teacher is an idiot.
That worm you talk about is a nasty one, WHICH IF YOU INSTALLED WINDOWS UPDATES YOU WOUDN'T GET INFECTED WITH IN THE FIRST PLACE. And of course everyone runs up to date spyware/antivirus software too right...
People will believe almost anything you tell them about computers, poor idiots.
I'd go hide in your bomb shelter while you still have time. THE INTERNET IS ALIVE MAN, IT WILL GET YOU.

those capable of "bringing down the internet" are probably the least likely to want to do so. why would some expert hacker want to ruin the very thing that he gets off on? business, government, hackers; they all love and need the net. even terrorist organisations are dependent upon ye olden www communication technology.
short of destroying actual infrastructure there's really no way to permanently bring it down anyway. every computer problem can be fixed, even if its by taking to it with a hammer and building a new one
