You only start to realize how dependent you are on something when it stops working. The “real” peer-to-peer application skype became useless at least for a matter of days since the sign-on process doesn’t work anymore for an unknown reason (not disclosed by the Skype people).
We still live in a world of a centralized internet with weak spots. Peer-to-peer appears to be a load-balancing solution only? Think of DNS, main routers, ISP gateways, servers such as news sites, you name it.
