Oh, I may be proven wrong in the end, but I don't see the IT world collapsing, ever. That may depend on the definition of "collapsing", I suppose - lots of regrettable/foolish/ avoidable/nasty things happening at any given moment are always within the realm of possibility - but The Whole Thing Coming Down for any appreciable period of time is not something I expect to live to see.
Not the IT world, but the Internet world could. IMHO, it's a matter of ROI: if the "bad guys" think that it's worth to take down a part of the Internet, they will do it! We all know that it is possible and we don't need more than one day or two to think of some doable ways to achieve that goal...
