I think its clear I was comparing the effects of a missile V cyber attack directly on myself.

Matt, I think you’ve been watching Terminator 3 too much 

At my work, if our servers were to be compromised, the worst that could happen is that we would lose 1 days information until backups were restored. Result = A sum of money in repairs, maybe a data breach, but again no loss of life.

I think we forget easily that the internet has not been around for that long, how did we cope before? Were we in permanent darkness?

Us mere humans can perform a lot of important tasks and most critical systems and infrastructure would continue to function if we took a pair of scissors to the internet cable!

Can we continue to function after being hit by a missile?

A little perspective please.
