Rising sea levels are going to mess with the internet
In 2000 the network runs on completely different infrastructure than it did in 1900 (what little network existed). By 2100 I am pretty sure we will be on different infrastructure by then. Are you saying there will be no changes in network topology to account for that? By 2100 neither you or I will have to worry about it in any case unless you know of a more major breakthrough in the near future.
