Actually, it is highly networked. Tom Clancy with Mark Greaney wrote about this very thing. Sure, there were some fairly far reaching parts in the book (Threat Vector), but the basic premise was how difficult it would be for the military to fight a war without the network it is so massively dependent.

Happy Towel Day 122

An anonymous reader writes "While Douglas Adams continues his attempt to set a new record for the longest extended lunch break, geeks all over the universe pay tribute to the beloved author by celebrating the tenth edition of Towel Day. Towel Day is more alive than ever. This year Richard Dawkins, one of Adams' best friends, has tweeted a Towel Day reminder to his numerous followers. The CERN Bulletin has published an article on Towel Day. There has been TV coverage and there will be a radio interview. The Military Republic of the Deltan Imperium, a newly formed micronation, has recognized Towel Day as an official holiday. In Hungary several hundreds of hitchhiker fans want to have a picnic together in a park. And there's a concert, a free downloadable nerdrap album, a free game being released, the list goes on and on."

Yeah, somebody pulled that out of their arse. Healthcare professionals rarely have a clue as to what someone's organ donor status is, then when the person is or near brain death it is the state/regional organ donor organization that makes the decision what can, if anything, be harvested. The hospital has no say.
