Have you ever thought of a day without the internet ?

You think it would disrupt our speedy world or would it be just a good break ?

Ever wondered what it would be like if all internet-related activities stopped ?

You might think it’s unimaginable, but Microsoft’s Blue Screen of Death recently caused a worldwide crisis. On Last Friday morning Airports, banks, hospitals, news studios, and even Disneyland Paris were all hit by a strange problem.

On Friday, the 19th ..Microsoft’s outage caused a global shutdown. That’s when chaos began spreading around the world.

Systems shut down across the world. It was one of the Biggest cyber outages to have ever taken place and it all started on Friday evening at about 7 PM GMT.

Airports couldn’t update flight info or check in passengers, leading to over a thousand cancellations in the US alone. Delhi Airport issued handwritten boarding passes and canceled flights, while major airlines like American Airlines and Delta stopped all operations. Switzerland cut air traffic by 30%, Australian supermarkets closed, and Olympic organizers in Paris faced major problems. It was a global disaster that affected everyone.

As the world dealt with the crisis, the internet filled with memes and funny posts. Social media was buzzing with jokes, and even X CEO Elon Musk shared some memes. People made jokes about “fun office Fridays” and Microsoft’s Blue Screen of Death, turning the outage into a moment of online humor. Some even sent cheeky “Happy Weekend” messages, playfully thanking Microsoft for the break.

But how did it happen ? The outage was caused by CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity company that is supposed to prevent problems like this. They made a mistake when they released a security update for Microsoft computers on Friday at 7 PM GMT. This update crashed Microsoft’s systems and caused a global outage. The issue was fixed in a few hours, and Microsoft’s CEO confirmed it wasn’t a cyber attack but just a mistake. Friday proved that the world is deeply connected and relies heavily on a few big companies and their products. When these companies have issues, it can cause major problems, inconveniencing millions of people and costing businesses billions.

To avoid this in the future, we need to consider alternative systems as backups when things go wrong.It could be our best option right now. If we don’t diversify, we could face even bigger problems in the future.
