"A network where devices eventually become existential threats is a network that eventually ceases to exist."
I imagine this only if these devices can't be disconnected. Life creates its own existential threats in a lot of parts of the "network", but they are contained or fixed eventually. Diversity is the key, and even though all life we know has the same fundamental building blocks, so far it worked out. The internet is not that fundamentally different. So instead of working on ways to increase maintenance, continue to make the internet a highly diverse place.
Only the interest rates on money borrowed from the swiss national bank (which only other banks can use) are affected. This will keep the interest rate you get for your private account close or equal to zero, but they will not get below that margin for exactly the reason that people will withdraw their money.
Having followed the course in 2010 I can fully recommend the script. It gives an exceptionally comprehensive explanation into the most important distributed computing principles without requiring much (if any) previous knowledge on the topic.
The course helped me a lot to get a grasp on the complexity of the various underlying challenges the distributed computing and routing world is facing (and with it an idea of the speed achievable).
I can recommend anyone enrolled to visit the course in person (most algorithms and solutions are being "discovered" together with the class on the blackboard, which helped me a lot with a deeper understanding), but I found that the script alone already gives a very good foundation of the principles of distributed computing.
