The Internet has stopped working

I still chuckle when I hear people say stuff like "the Internet has stopped working" when referring to their connection being down. I guess it's an obvious reaction in a world where people have grown up with all software being installed on a machine and though geek terminology has seeped (now flooded) in to mainstream media, it's worth remembering that not everyone knows what we mean when we say stuff like "oh you can just store your data in the cloud". What cloud, where? How...eh...ummm

Anyway, I found this image courtesy of MyMac and rest assured it'll be appearing in one or two presentations I do this year.
