Electronic Armageddon

As many who might read this blog (yes, both of you! lol), it continues to amaze and worry me how dependent on technology.  I've often wondered to myself what happens to our society if we have a partial complete electronic blackout.  This thought has gone through my mind so much that I've contemplated writing a fictional story about this.

In the news recently is an article from some scientists who claim that it's only a matter of time before a significant solar storm occurs on the sun, one big enough to significantly disrupt our communications systems.

I wonder if people realize how much we rely on technology.  As I've mentioned in previous blog entries, I'm sure that we'd adapt, that's what us humans do, but I think that when this does happen, the impact will be beyond immense.
