Cyber

---Prologue---1

2011. The internet is one of the largest common thing in the world. Everything is done via internet. The shops were never opened, they were delivered. Post was replaced by e-mail, and after the late 2010 Telephone Scandel, that was all replaced by companies like Skype.2

Youtube has now reached over 100billion videos. The world is out of the 2008 recession and things look pretty good. As many people spend most their lives on the internet, crime in the real world has gone down 94%, but cyber-crime has gone up a staggering 342%.3

Google is more used than the emergency services, and there is a total of 40billion web pages, doubled since 2007. TV sets are no longer made, every TV station has its own website, showing the shows from the past twelve weeks.4

Facebook has almost 89% of the people with the access to the internet, the others see no use. Blogs are a very common tool and internet games are more used than PS4 or xBox360 games combined. MMORPGs such as Guild Wars, RuneScape and World of Warcraft are making roughly billions a month, with almost 300million plays each.5

Internet software has advanced so much, people can create hit blockbusters from three years ago with ease. As Industry wrecks havoc on natural land, holidays are now virtual.6

The world is at its strongest. But it has such a big weakness. What happens when someone pulls the plug?7

---Chapter One: The Schools--8

Kids were all at home on their computers during school time. This is natural being that the computer is the school. They watch videos of their teachers and participate in education games that you can play with people in your city, country or anywhere.9

Children learn more as the teachers are past comedians and know how to make them laugh. Even Ant and Dec taught a Year Nine class mathematics once. However, they do not teach writing, because there is no use.10


Many jobs are lost as little teachers are needed. One per subject per language. But money isn't needed. Everything is downloaded free off illegal websites and places like Six Flags and Thrope Park are shut down due to lack of interest. Videos on Youtube show you a 3D version of a rollar coaster and there is always the USB virtual glasses too.11

The only thing taught in Music is keyboard, which is implemented by USB. Most items are either connected to a plug or USB. Art is showing you use of photoshop, while drama teaches you how to use move-making software. The only time people leave their computer room is to go to the bathroom or kitchen, but even some people have both of those utilities in the same room as their computer.12

All students start at age six, learning how to use the World Wide Web and computer till their nine, then they take normal school. The whole world population is slowly decreasing. Nobody takes an interest in the opposite sex, and if they do, they find the internet able to satisfy them.13

Back to the subject of education, there is one school, just spread world-wide. Children can send in messages to help-desks 24/7, which are always monitered, which some children tend to forget.14

Physical Education is just workout videos, while Religious Education is ignored. The major amount of people are Atheists and religion has died to a few groups.15

---Chapter Two: The World Around Us---16

There is no such thing as natural sights. The world is just loads of warehouses, full with small blocks and three or four rooms, which are housing. All of Antartica and the Artic is just servers and ISP areas. The internet has never gone down, ever, since late 2010.17

Small islands, however, is not always built on. There is small outdoor areas, roughly a mile squared, and about one per city, maybe not always.18

The world is destroyed. Nature is gone in most areas. Mother Nature, if a real anomoly, must be cold in her grave.19

---Chapter Three: We Will---20

September Ninth, 2010. YouTube browsers are not a stranger to crazed people sharing their views, it's happened since YouTube began. But this was different. This was a terrorist message. People who believed in religion saw the world was coming to an end and believed God wanted them to do the apocolypse as sign of their devotion.21

Its not known whether God is real or not, but these people was over-fanatics. They gave a message over several minutes, promising that the World will end.22

"We Will. That is message we're giving out. You have denied our presence for too long. God has called us to destroy you, and bring the Apocolypse. He has called four of us, we are the Four Horsemen. You will be spared if you are true in heart, which is little. We have been called to do His bidding. We will destroy you all. We are here, and to show you we are serious. You end will start in seven days. Repent your sins and show God you're pure and we will spare you."23

Quite dark. Possibly real, maybe God has lost faith in his creation. Ironic. The goverment ignores these people, calling it a hoax for attention.24

People didn't take it as a hoax. Within two days, several FaceBook groups and websites were made to discuss this. People asked each other, "What will they do?"25

People think they have weapons of mass destruction. Others say they'll hack into bank's databased. But that's impossible, according to their owners. Then one person gave a chilling view:26

"Shut down electricity."27

It'd lock people in their rooms, stop people charging their cars. All food is frozen, it'd go old and moudly. People would go lonely and commit suicide. People would starve or die of thirst. Nobody could do anything but sit at their empty screens and do nothing. What a bleak future.28

People set up groups to try find this terrorist group, try to find a way to stop them, kill them if possible. But nobody knew a thing. IPs lead to the middle of the ocean, it was a boat always on the move. With one button press, they could kill everyone, who "commited sins daily". The end was nigh.

Author notes

I am an Atheist. I do not wish to spread my views or offend anyone who has a religious view. This is simple fiction.
