Holy crap, I had a crazy shower thought.
What if an asteroid strikes the earth, and everything as we know it, is destroyed.
Then, a new human species forms and after centuries of development, they get to the point where they introduce internet to the people once again.
So... My question is...
Since internet is just a network of information, will the information currently on the internet be available to them, since they would just make another branch to connect to the whole network?
Or will they not, and create a whole new and DIFFERENT internet network. A fresh one, with our current one left aside, unused and stuff?
