45. If only there was a way to shut down the net for 1 hour
Just one hour of no Internet access would freak out every major company. Let them see what it feels like not to be heard and be ignored. Let them see what it would be like if the net could be regulated by a few companies. Just one hour and it would be all over the news. Every screen connecting to the most terrifying of all messages "you have lost your freedom, we control what you see and hear", or just the date 1984 in huge letters.

Okay, so some wouldn't get it, but the media sure would.
