They advised users to seek alternative means of sending huge amounts of data in a microsecond, or to go outside in the fresh air for once in their sorry cloistered lives.</p> <p>"Over the past 15 years a large amount of dust, hair and crumbs have accumulated behind the computer which controls the internet" said a technician. "It's getting pretty disgusting behind there in fact. I think I saw a mouse the other day. Through this short closure we hope to hoover behind the computer and to remove a piece of chewing gum currently clogging one of the USB ports."</p> <p>Global internet users debated the issues in online forums and concluded that a single weekend without access to social media, online shopping or hardcore pornography was a small price to pay for the removal of the household dirt.</p> <p>"Sure it's a little inconvenient" said one, "but you can't put a price on good hygiene. I can go outside, maybe." </p>
