There is no mechanical way to keep up the cooling system in nuclear plants, is it? Because as I said, cooling systems will be the most immediately missed (e.g. for food), and nuclear plants will go boom. And leak all their radioactivity.
... to think that our western neighbour country has over fifty plants... when's the next plane to Antarctica?!
no computer or wifi!!! O_O it wouldn't matter anyways, if we used wind turbines and other environmental stuff to power houses or buildings we would have electricity.
the world would be screwed. nobody knows basic survival. we all live on top of one another but dont know each other we can communicate besides technology we would have to build our own stuff and find our own food.
Well... guess what? My AT&T phone service, wi-fi, TV, and internet access all stopped working. They said it would be back up in three hours, in which I ate lunch and checked the internet, which worked. So eating lunch is the smart way to go!
4/10 people would kill themselves... 3/10 people would be ignorant and expect food to come to them, starving... 2/10 people would search for food but not know where or how to find it... 1/10 people would know survival skills and live longer than everybody else.
I would be in that 1/10. I would laugh my head off at the people who need electricity for all of their needs. Of course, eventually it would come back on. One good thing that would come out of it would be that people would finally get lives(No more 12-year-olds playing COD).
It's not like entertainment would be gone. I mean, people can stay play REAL instruments and REAL music. No more of the stupid electric guitar... People can have more exercise and less procrastinating. And people would get outside more and be more social. So we'd be more healthy and more social. Now that I think about it... I WANT this to happen!
The only post-apocalyptic skill I have is I know how to shoot things. With shotguns. Or rifles or pistols. Doesn't matter much.
I'd end up hunting neighborhood animals for food, and neighborhood people for water. Until the electricity came back on, anyways. Or somebody grew some balls and shot back. Who knows?
It's depressing reading most of these comments. I'm probably the only human in this world that uses hardly any electricity. I'm on my laptop 2 days in a week, about 3 hours each day. So, I wouldn't be very effected by this. I scarcely watch TV, there's nothing good, not even music these days. I play guitar, so that's something to amuse myself with instead of my computer time.
Me and my friends wouldn't give a ****. We'd go berserk with others complaining, of course, but we wouldn't really care at all.
Time to start training that swinging arm to wield your sword with again I say!
Since when do you need electricity to operate a gun? Sure, you could revive the medieval era, but you better hope your knights have some bullet-proof armor on!
