That's the problem: they are not a web. The original idea of the internet was to have a web of connections so that a few cables or nodes going bad wouldn't stop data movement, it would route around the bad spots via going through adjacent parts of the web.

I'll bet 1k

This may well be one of the dumbest questions ever asked on /. as it ignores the entirety of human history.

Yellowstone needs to be drained of heat, otherwise it will burst the ugliest of bursts.
